OLLECH & WAJS OW Navichron

All about the OLLECH & WAJS OW Navichron

The OW NAVICHRON comes with an aged, natural leather and canvas strap in a vintage racing style, handcrafted by one of Italy's finest tanneries. The luxurious bracelet is completed with a brushed stainless steel pin buckle signed 'OWZ 1956'.

The OW NAVICHRON S is presented on the OW S-Type Mark II bracelet, inspired by many Ollech & Wajs models of the 1960s. Its links are individually milled from a solid block of 316L stainless steel before being carefully brushed, assembled by hand and screwed together. This process prevents the common wearing out that is common with stamped steel bracelets and ensures durability and comfort for the wearer. The double locking of the folding clasp prevents accidental opening.

Estimated delivery time is approximately 3-4 weeks from order date.

OLLECH & WAJS OW Navichron

Today's OW Navichron is powered by a two-counter chronograph based on the Valjoux 7753. It follows a long tradition of Valjoux chronographs, with highly regarded historical references such as the V72, V92, V7730, V7733 and V7750. OW has developed its own Precision Rating reserved only for the highest quality movements. We start with a Valjoux 7753 in a brutal matte finish, which we then reassemble with our own machined rotor bearing the famous OW Propeller monogram. We engrave the main board with 'Ollech & Wajs Zurich 1956' before removing the hour counter. We then put the watch back together, regulate it and test its precision in five positions and its duration.

The OW Navichron maintains a 12-hour sliding bezel that allows travelers to tell the time in different zones. It is also a highly capable professional diving watch that, like the original 1967 Navichron, features a 20-minute diving scale on the bezel. It features a specially reinforced case, extra-thick sapphire crystal and unique four-sealing pushers that can withstand pressure of over 50 ATM. Their markers and hands are finished with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring maximum visibility in all conditions, above and below the surface.
