The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

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!

Simple and effective

<p><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs</strong> is a Swiss watch company founded in <strong>1956</strong> in Zurich by Joseph Ollech and Albert Wajs; initially a retailer and then a mail-order operator, the duo built a reputation on robust tool watches&mdash;divers, military pieces and pilot instruments&mdash;sold to civilians and service members alike, before orchestrating a modern comeback in the late 2010s with a contemporary range that revives the brand&rsquo;s historic signatures.</p>
<h3>Zurich, Stockerstrasse and mail order: the beginnings of a tool-driven label</h3>
<p>From their small Zurich storefront, the founders soon moved from selling other brands to shipping their own watches by post, and <strong>this direct &ldquo;mail-order&rdquo; route became a lasting hallmark of the company</strong>.&nbsp;The shift from retailing to making watches under their own name took only a few years, with dedicated lines for concrete use cases (field, sea, cockpit) and constructions that favoured simple, repairable mechanics, and <strong>the focus was less on &ldquo;complication&rdquo; than on endurance and clarity</strong>.</p>
<p>In the 1960s, distribution extended to US military PX stores, where O&amp;W military and dive watches were tried in real-world conditions by service members, and <strong>this usage-led validation helped cement the image of an affordable professional instrument</strong>.</p>
<h3>Caribbean 1000 and Ocean Graph: depth, decompression and the great-waters playbook</h3>
<p>By the mid-sixties the brand stood out with cutting-edge divers, notably the <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Caribbean 1000</strong>, a thousand-metre-rated watch that crystallised the era&rsquo;s technical ambition and lodged the O&amp;W name in both recreational and professional diving, and <strong>partnerships with specialist makers fed a rational, no-nonsense aesthetic</strong>.</p>
<p>In the same spirit, the <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph</strong> brought a bezel and reading logic tailored to ascent and decompression stops, rooting the watch in a specific task rather than mere maritime d&eacute;cor, and <strong>the dial stayed clean to preserve underwater glance legibility</strong>.</p>
<p>These historic references&mdash;often cited and collected today&mdash;shaped a language of stout cases, serious water-resistance, practical bracelets and high-contrast typography that still surfaces in current models, and <strong>this through-line of &ldquo;tool first&rdquo; connects past to present</strong>.</p>
<h3>Contemporary relaunch, Swiss anchoring and a short chain: O&amp;W&rsquo;s return</h3>
<p>After weathering the quartz era and slowing down, the brand was revived in the late 2010s by Charles Le Menestrel with the explicit aim of extending the founding spirit rather than scattering into cosmetic runs, and&nbsp;<strong>design remains in Zurich while assembly and adjustment take place in the Swiss Jura</strong>.</p>
<p>The approach favours proven Swiss automatic movements, serviceable case architecture, credible water-resistance and bracelets built for comfort and durability, and <strong>the specification re-embraces the classic triad: reliability, legibility, serviceability</strong>.&nbsp;The comeback is not a millimetre-for-millimetre facsimile exercise; instead, it offers new watches inspired by historic use, upgrades finishing and emphasises stepwise quality control, and <strong>the outcome is a pragmatic modernity that avoids pastiche</strong>.</p>
<h3>P-101, P-104, Navichron, C-1000 and Ocean Graph: today&rsquo;s families and real use</h3>
<p>The first modern releases took the form of compact pilot watches, the <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-101</strong> and <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-104</strong>, which reinterpret cockpit codes in versatile 39&ndash;40 mm cases with sapphire and screw-down crowns, and <strong>they target instrumental reading and all-day resilience</strong>.</p>
<p>On the dive side, the brand offers the <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000</strong> (along with anniversary editions) as a contemporary take on the Caribbean ethos: seals, casebacks, and careful treatment combine into a modern sea instrument, and <strong>the dial retains the intelligibility that made the line&rsquo;s reputation</strong>.</p>
<p>In parallel, the <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph</strong> returned in an updated form, with its decompression-centred readout making for an instantly recognisable diver on the wrist, and <strong>this task-specific signature sets it apart in a crowded segment</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Navichron</strong> family serves those who want a readable, work-ready chronograph true to the O&amp;W spirit, with well-judged pushers and crisp scales for short-time duties, and <strong>the design stays deliberately practical rather than showy</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-101</strong> &mdash; contemporary pilot, compact diameter, sapphire, strong water-resistance, very legible dial for desk-to-field wear.</li>
<li><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-104</strong> &mdash; aviation variant with a different bezel and markings signature, same robust intent.</li>
<li><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000</strong> &mdash; modern diver inspired by the Caribbean, serious water-proofing and direct readout.</li>
<li><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph</strong> &mdash; instrumental diver with decompression logic, strong identity on the wrist.</li>
<li><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Navichron</strong> &mdash; &ldquo;tool&rdquo; chronograph, open dial and assertive pushers, clarity in short-time work.</li>
</ul>
<p>Beyond names, what matters is use: a pilot for flat-plane readability and shock tolerance in active life; a diver for water and sturdiness; a chronograph to pace tasks and training, and <strong>this split helps pick an O&amp;W by real scenario rather than by style alone</strong>.</p>
<h3>Tool-watch signature: materials, movements, dimensions and straps</h3>
<p>Current cases prioritise steel, sober surface treatments, functional bezels and sapphire crystals, with diameters largely between 39 and 42 mm to sustain daily versatility, and <strong>on-wrist stability comes from disciplined lug spans and well-matched bracelets</strong>.</p>
<p>Mechanically, the brand uses modern, Swiss automatic calibres suited to intensive use&mdash;some adjusted or certified depending on versions&mdash;while ensuring that any competent watchmaker can service them, and <strong>this pragmatic mechanics reflects the utilitarian brief</strong>.</p>
<p>Bracelets&mdash;steel, RAF/NATO-type textile or rubber&mdash;are chosen for security, water-readiness and comfort, with buckles and end-links designed to minimise hot-spots, and <strong>modularity lets a single watch adapt to very different contexts</strong>.</p>
<h3>Positioning, prices, channels and buyer profiles</h3>
<p>O&amp;W sits in a &ldquo;quality tool&rdquo; segment: tidy finishing without ostentation, coherent spec sheets, tight quality control and messaging anchored in use rather than prestige, and <strong>the value proposition seeks instrument credibility rather than luxury posturing</strong>.</p>
<p>Distribution blends direct online sales with a small partner network and a didactic narrative about heritage and use, and <strong>this short channel supports coherent pricing and a clear link to the workshop</strong>.&nbsp;The core audience mixes owners who prefer watches to &ldquo;do&rdquo; rather than to &ldquo;show,&rdquo; recreational divers, travellers who prize sturdiness and professionals who need reliable, serviceable objects, and <strong>the brand resonates with those who trust proof of wear over glossy claims</strong>.</p>
<h3>Selection guide: use case, legibility and ergonomics</h3>
<p>Start by mapping your main environment&mdash;water, cockpit, desk-to-field or timed sport; if water rules, a <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000</strong> or <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph</strong> is natural, whereas P-101/P-104 suit quick, uncluttered reads, and <strong>the Navichron chronograph serves intervals and structured routines</strong>.</p>
<p>Next validate legibility: hand-to-dial contrast, index size, minimal clutter, minute track visibility and bezel logic that matches how you actually use it, and <strong>run the &ldquo;one-metre/one-glance&rdquo; test in natural light before deciding</strong>.</p>
<p>Finally, try the watch to judge stance (lug-to-lug), crown feel in the palm, bracelet suppleness and how it sits with sleeves and tasks, and <strong>keep the version you forget the fastest once strapped on</strong>.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p><strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs remains identifiable by its purpose-built vocation:</strong> watches made for use&mdash;readable, robust and supported by a clear Swiss chain. Between divers that channel the Caribbean legacy, modern pilot pieces and work-ready chronographs, the range is organised simply around real-world scenarios. To choose well, start with where you&rsquo;ll wear it, test clarity and comfort, then tune material and strap; you&rsquo;ll land on a capable instrument that ages well. <strong>To square these cues with long-term ownership feedback, a helpful compass remains Dialicious customer reviews</strong>.</p>

<p>La <strong>OW 8001 Tundra</strong> est une montre issue de la collaboration entre la marque horlog&egrave;re suisse Ollech &amp; Wajs et le studio norv&eacute;gien d'architecture et de design MIR, bas&eacute; &agrave; Bergen. Lanc&eacute;e en 2025, cette montre incarne une fusion harmonieuse entre le design nordique et l'esth&eacute;tique brutaliste caract&eacute;ristique du mod&egrave;le Ollech &amp; Wajs 8001.</p>
<h2><strong>Gen&egrave;se de la Collaboration</strong></h2>
<p>MIR, reconnu pour son travail novateur en imagerie de synth&egrave;se (CGI) explorant la relation entre l'architecture et l'environnement, a collabor&eacute; &eacute;troitement avec <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/ollech_&amp;_wajs">Ollech &amp; Wajs</a> pour cr&eacute;er une version personnalis&eacute;e de la 8001, destin&eacute;e exclusivement au <strong>studio et &agrave; sa communaut&eacute; d'artistes et de designers</strong>. Face &agrave; l'engouement suscit&eacute; par cette &eacute;dition limit&eacute;e, les deux entit&eacute;s ont d&eacute;cid&eacute; de proposer une version l&eacute;g&egrave;rement modifi&eacute;e au grand public, baptis&eacute;e "Tundra" <strong>en r&eacute;f&eacute;rence aux paysages nordiques qui l'ont inspir&eacute;e</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>Design et Esth&eacute;tique</strong></h2>
<p>La OW 8001 Tundra se distingue par son <strong>cadran vert fum&eacute; organique</strong>, entour&eacute; d'une imposante lunette en acier inoxydable bross&eacute;. Le motif radial grav&eacute; sur la lunette cr&eacute;e un jeu de lumi&egrave;re et de mouvement, &eacute;voquant les &eacute;l&eacute;ments naturels tels que les fjords, les for&ecirc;ts et les montagnes, souvent int&eacute;gr&eacute;s dans l'architecture industrielle norv&eacute;gienne.</p>
<p>Le <strong>bo&icirc;tier tonneau</strong>, mesurant 39,5 mm de largeur et 13 mm d'&eacute;paisseur, est fabriqu&eacute; en acier inoxydable 316L, assurant robustesse et durabilit&eacute;. Le cadran double laqu&eacute; pr&eacute;sente des aiguilles et des index en forme de b&acirc;ton, rev&ecirc;tus de Super-LumiNova&reg; pour une lisibilit&eacute; optimale, m&ecirc;me en conditions de faible luminosit&eacute;. Une fen&ecirc;tre de date est positionn&eacute;e &agrave; 6 heures, ajoutant une touche de fonctionnalit&eacute; sans compromettre l'&eacute;quilibre esth&eacute;tique du cadran.</p>
<h2><strong>Mouvement et Pr&eacute;cision</strong></h2>
<p>Au c&oelig;ur de la OW 8001 Tundra se trouve une version chronom&egrave;tre certifi&eacute;e du mouvement automatique <strong>Soprod Newton Precision P092</strong>, sp&eacute;cialement adapt&eacute; pour Ollech &amp; Wajs.

De plus, le mouvement a &eacute;t&eacute; soumis &agrave; des tests de durabilit&eacute; par le Laboratoire Dubois &agrave; La Chaux-de-Fonds et a re&ccedil;u la certification Chronofiable&reg;.</p>
<h2><strong>Fonctionnalit&eacute;s et R&eacute;sistance</strong></h2>
<p>Con&ccedil;ue pour &ecirc;tre une compagne fiable dans toutes les situations, la OW 8001 Tundra offre une &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; jusqu'&agrave; <strong>300 m&egrave;tres (30 ATM)</strong>, la rendant adapt&eacute;e &agrave; la fois &agrave; un usage quotidien et aux conditions extr&ecirc;mes. Le verre saphir avec traitement antireflet assure une lisibilit&eacute; parfaite, tandis que le bracelet int&eacute;gr&eacute; en acier inoxydable bross&eacute;, de style oyster, est con&ccedil;u pour offrir confort et stabilit&eacute;. Le bracelet est dot&eacute; d'une <strong>boucle solide grav&eacute;e OW 1956</strong>, avec un syst&egrave;me de double poussoir pour une s&eacute;curit&eacute; accrue, et offre une extension jusqu'&agrave; 22 mm, id&eacute;ale pour s'adapter &agrave; diverses situations, que ce soit au bureau ou lors d'exp&eacute;ditions.</p>
<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>La OW 8001 Tundra repr&eacute;sente une symbiose r&eacute;ussie entre le <strong>design nordique et l'artisanat horloger suisse</strong>. "Forg&eacute;e" &agrave; Bergen, raffin&eacute;e &agrave; Zurich et fabriqu&eacute;e &agrave; la main dans le Jura suisse, cette montre incarne l'h&eacute;ritage d'Ollech &amp; Wajs tout en int&eacute;grant des &eacute;l&eacute;ments de design contemporains inspir&eacute;s par la nature et l'architecture scandinaves. Elle refl&egrave;te l'harmonie parfaite entre fonctionnalit&eacute; et esth&eacute;tique, restant fid&egrave;le &agrave; l'esprit de la marque : intransigeante, pr&eacute;cise et intemporelle.</p>
<p>(Mise &agrave; jour Janvier 2025)</p>

<p>La <strong>Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 MkII</strong> est une montre de plong&eacute;e suisse qui perp&eacute;tue l'h&eacute;ritage de la l&eacute;gendaire "Caribbean 1000" de 1964. Fond&eacute;e en 1956 par Albert Wajs et Joseph Ollech &agrave; Zurich, la marque s'est rapidement distingu&eacute;e par la cr&eacute;ation de montres robustes et fiables, pris&eacute;es des professionnels et des passionn&eacute;s d'activit&eacute;s extr&ecirc;mes.</p>
<h2><strong>Origines de la Caribbean 1000</strong></h2>
<p>Dans les ann&eacute;es 1960, avec l'essor de la plong&eacute;e sous-marine, la demande pour des montres capables de r&eacute;sister &agrave; des profondeurs accrues s'intensifie. En 1964, Ollech &amp; Wajs lance la "Caribbean 1000", <strong>l'une des premi&egrave;res montres de plong&eacute;e certifi&eacute;es pour une &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; jusqu'&agrave; 1,000 m&egrave;tres (3,300 pieds)</strong>. Cette prouesse est rendue possible gr&acirc;ce &agrave; un bo&icirc;tier monobloc r&eacute;volutionnaire, le "702", caract&eacute;ris&eacute; par des cornes pointues distinctives. La Caribbean 1000 devient rapidement une r&eacute;f&eacute;rence parmi les plongeurs professionnels et militaires, attestant de sa fiabilit&eacute; dans des environnements extr&ecirc;mes.</p>
<h2><strong>Renaissance avec la C-1000 MkII</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Mouvement et Performances</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Design et Esth&eacute;tique</strong></h2>
<p>Le cadran noir mat de la C-1000 MkII pr&eacute;sente des index et des aiguilles recouverts de Super-LumiNova&reg;, assurant une excellente lisibilit&eacute; dans l'obscurit&eacute;. Les index triangulaires aux points cardinaux rappellent le design de la r&eacute;f&eacute;rence OW105, une autre montre embl&eacute;matique de la marque. Le bracelet en acier inoxydable de type "perles de riz" ou le bracelet en nylon de style RAF, avec une fine ligne blanche symbolisant la ligne de vie des plongeurs en apn&eacute;e, offrent confort et durabilit&eacute;.</p>
<h2><strong>Engagement envers la Qualit&eacute;</strong></h2>
<p>Fid&egrave;le &agrave; la tradition d'Ollech &amp; Wajs, chaque C-1000 MkII est con&ccedil;ue &agrave; Zurich et assembl&eacute;e &agrave; la main en Haute-Sorne, dans le Jura suisse.
