Description
Born in 1973 and re‑born in 2023, the OW 8001 celebrates the 50th anniversary of Ollech & Wajs’ pioneering integrated‑bracelet sports chronograph, the Ref. 8000. The original Havana‑dial model was among the first of its kind, combining sleek modernist design with tool‑watch functionality. The new OW 8001 pays tribute to that heritage while contemporising it with a more rugged, brutalist aesthetic and uncompromising engineering. Handmade in the Swiss Jura, it embodies OW’s ethos of small‑batch, professional‑grade watchmaking — a chronometer equally at home beneath a wetsuit or paired with a linen suit. The OW 8001 is not just a revival; it is a statement of continuity, precision, and style across five decades of Swiss sports‑watch history.
