Why customers love Ollech & Wajs?

If every morning I swim at a depth of minus 500 meters for my daily relaxing apnea session, I never forget my warrior because I know that she can withstand extremely low temperatures but also the crazy pressure that even gives me a headache when I stay more than 15 minutes without breathing... In reality, I admire her underwater with my swimming goggles when I do my breaststroke at the SPA hotel in Villars in Switzerland. At sea, she shines in the sand and shells and accompanies me as soon as I do stupid things in the mountains. The blue color of the Arctic oceans fascinates me and I know that when we return together to Alaska, she will attract the polar bears that I did not see during my first trip. This watch on its rice grain bracelet gives me confidence; On its braided perlon bracelet, I want to go to the marina and watch a regatta on a giant screen with a good whisky. One day I put a leather on it, the cow, it was superb and I imagined myself in a 79 Corvette Stingray, my arm on the door, my hair in the wind, the sun in its mouth. This automatic chronograph is quite thick but gives confidence. It is a raw watch that can take on several aspects and which has proven useful in some of my adventures. The brushing of the hands, the compass bezel, the date and the quick adjustment, the color of the dial, the thickness of the sapphire, the technical specifications of the watch and the people who run the brand and who are its ambassadors, everything made me want to own one and play with it.

A watch ready for adventure, cold, heat, the sea (1000m waterproof!!!), the mountains, the metro, running, hiking, etc. etc. Yes, but all this with style, precision and radical design. I have become a true fan of the brand, its history but also totally convinced of the seriousness of the relaunch by its buyer, Charles Le Ménestrel. In terms of case, its 39.5mm suits me perfectly and its rather long lugs allow to refine the overall balance of the case which is, it must be said, very thick (between 15 and 16mm). You have to try it to realize the very good balance of this watch which is not at all clumsy in my eyes. Note that the watch runs impeccably, powered by a perfectly coherent ETA 2824-2 movement and well adjusted by the watchmakers at OW. Bought second-hand (almost new) via Chrono24 for barely 1000 euros, I don't see many serious competitors that can compete with this watch that is both logical and classy. A small downside that was quickly rectified: the glass insert that overhangs the graduated bezel was damaged after a few weeks in a very urban environment and without me realizing it. Once contacted, the after-sales service answered me, in French, quickly and took charge of the repair (still under warranty). The watch was returned repaired in less than 4 weeks. This hassle, although it surprised me a lot, confirms the seriousness of the OW house, from whom I had not bought the watch new.

Small C1000, well-known diver from the Ollech & Wajs brand, here in a limited series of 100 pieces for the 70th anniversary of the FAGN "Forces Aeriennes de la Gendarmerie Nationale" Blue hands, gendarmerie logo, special bezel, and case back engraved for the occasion. Mounted on blue nato and driven by a Newton caliber, this version retains the 1000m specs and exudes the quality of the original C1000. A very cool piece 👌

I love the robust look and at the same time a certain finesse of this watch. It goes everywhere and discreet. The size is just ideal 39.5mm. The readability is perfect and instantaneous. The brightness of the hands is of super quality. The case is not too imposing, it has a very beautiful brushed finish. I installed a mesh bracelet personally. This is the small downside, the metal bracelet delivered with the watch is not usable!

I discovered Ollech & Wajs by first being interested in another watch of the brand, the C-1000, but while searching for this model I discovered this Ocean Graph. It is just as resistant, of identical dimensions and with the same strap that I love, but with a much more "fun" look. Its Atlantic blue dial is magnificent, its decompression bezel is splendid (admittedly illegible for me without glasses, but not being a diver, only its aesthetic aspect matters to me). The contrast between the blue of the dial and the orange hands also pleased me a lot. This watch fears nothing, not even scratches, thanks to its entirely brushed finish.

I went for this OW Astrochron because I was looking for a chronograph whose aesthetics I liked, well finished, automatic, original and technically accomplished. Its exceptional resistance is a plus even if I do not intend to use its guaranteed water resistance for 500 meters. It is a kind of hybrid between a diving, sports and exploration watch. It is precise with an average deviation of +4 seconds per day for my copy. Its thickness is not annoying and sits perfectly on my wrist. A button dedicated to the quick adjustment of the date is also very appreciable. I really like its luminescence and its date window, very well integrated into the design of this watch.

An original pilot's watch, assembled and adjusted in Switzerland! Swiss Made designation justified at 95%. The manufacturing quality is impeccable, the finishes are of a very good level. The case is in brushed 316L steel, the crown is signed O&W. We can clearly speak of a Big Crown, screwed, to ensure water resistance to 30 atmospheres. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal with the most beautiful effect. ETA 2824-2 caliber, assembled and adjusted by the watchmakers of the house, nothing to complain about the precision, which gives me complete satisfaction. The hands are incredible and are really, in my opinion, the big strong point of the watch. The NATO strap is of very good quality and comes with a pretty brushed steel buckle signed O&W. I have not tried the Steel strap but I installed an orange tropic and the rendering is really fun and very pleasant. The dial takes the light well, the watch remains very readable underwater. The only downside is that the hands and indexes are advertised as being treated with super Luminova, but the treatment is a bit light in my opinion. For the rest, it's all good. The price is, in my opinion, fair for the quality of the product offered. 39 mm in diameter, nice presence when worn, a success!

First of all, we see it on few wrists; that's good! It is refined and at the same time robust, precise and in addition it is GTM with the bezel! It is downright at the top level of tool watches! It is very pleasant to wear on the wrist; it has long lugs while it is 39.5 in diameter; it is classy!

I found my holiday watch, the dimensions are perfect 39.56mm wide and a super domed glass of 5.4mm which ensures 1000m depth. But its main assets are its colors: the background is a turquoise blue and the indexes are in orange luminosity. It is a call to the sun, to surfing, to friends in short to HOLIDAYS

As a watch enthusiast, I am delighted with my recent acquisition. This OW P 104 encourages adventure, and does not just tell the time, it tells a story. It gets noticed, not by ostentation, but certainly by its rarity. For the moment, it is the watch that is probably not yet on the neighbor's wrist. It therefore stands out for its unique character, and encourages showing off... a little... right? Its hands are a masterpiece of finely brushed art brut. Personally, I like the style. As for readability, the OW P 104 excels during the day, it offers exemplary clarity of reading. At night, it is more discreet (my only regret), but remains satisfactory. In short, it is the charm of vintage with the robustness of a tank. Its ETA 2824-2, which needs no introduction, works hard in the shadows and keeps the pace. For me, she knew how to make herself desired! No regrets.
