I’m pleasantly surprised to see that coming in (just) under 40mm - a very accurately measured 39.56mm apparently!
Though those lugs look pretty long...

Those are both superb. Extremely appealing.
Oooh I like those! The P-104 appeals most (today anyway).
How will the P-101 compare the Eddie's upcoming Caribbean I wonder?

Ah, but will they use cyclopes on non-date watches!?

Nice post!

The top one looks lovely. Decent price too.
It’s nice to see the brand back in production
Both watches are nice, I look forward to seeing what they release next.
Really like the bottom one, what is the price in UK pounds?
1056 CHF - the GBP price would be misleading at this point in timeOriginally Posted by Tetlee
(but it's about £850). Top one cheaper at 956 CHF.
I wish at least one quality focused watch manufacturer would make genuine front-loading/screw-down crystal monocoque Jenny Caribbean case design divers and heavy-duty pilot/field/tool watches instead of just more homages that may nicely replicate the external aesthetics but pack it all into the, I think (for whatever the hell that's worth), extremely mediocre and pervasively (i.e. grossly) ubiquitous frontally press-fit&gasketed sapphire crystal w/standard screw-on back "modern sport diver" case that could not in any way compare or compete for intelligent technological design with a 60 GBP Vostok Amphibian from Russia, much less one of the original Ollech&Wajs' old 60s era Caribbeans unless never having a scratch appear on the crystal is the highest aspiration you expect of your watch.

I like ‘em both
The minute hand on the P-104 is a good idea and neatly executed!
Sorry I don’t like either of them.
Excellent!
Neither of the watches are my thing, but I am happy to see that the O&W name is back. I first came across the brand on Magnificent Bastard but I didn't know they made anything except field watches.
Me too. Form a queue!!

Good to see an older brand with a good history getting a new lease of life - hopefully they are in safe hands and do well.
I can’t decide which one I like more, preferred the P-101 at first, but the more I look at them, I’m not sure which is better.

Really like the P101 and the fact it isn't stupid money like my beloved brand Seiko seem to like to charge now. I might have to save for that one, love the minute hand dial. Thanks for posting.
Very nice. I like them both. Time to do some research!

The first one looks really good.
A great old brand that I have a soft spot for... I have 2 Mirages and 1 Cougar. They are superb tool watches.
I ended up in a long running email correspondence with A Wajs some years back and he is a gentleman.
Top one for me , unfortunately they are directly sold from Switzerland. The tax man will want his money.

I assumed the same, but:
https://ow-watch.ch/ow-p-104.html
So it looks like it's all included in the price.Delivery time: two to three weeks from ordering date.
The price of our watches includes all costs related to their purchase, including import taxes, customs duties, customs clearance fees, handling charges, sales tax, VAT and shipping costs with Federal Express.
They are both for sale on Page and Cooper
A company who have a very poor reputation on here though.
Edit: Also buying direct looks to be about £150 cheaper than buying from P&C

Yes, I know of the issues with P&C highlighted on here I was just pointing out they can be bought in the UK.
You should probably factor in the exchange rate is pretty bad at the moment and the overall price may end up closer to the P&C price than you think. That is assuming all taxes have been paid.
I have a watch with an O&W M6 as a base (12 hour bezel). I still use it as my standard travel watch. Very useful. They were very very good value.
Best wishes,
Bob
Had the P-101 and P-104 on wrist today - I went wanting to buy the 104, and it does look great on wrist, but the bezel (which I thought I would love) is just too impractical for my uses. The bezel on the 101, being 12hr and friction, would just irritate me too much also.
They had a selection of 1000m ones on display about which they said more info would be released soon, but the crystal made the dial look bulbous through distortion. Not my thing.
Their old 7750 chronograph pales in comparison to the Sinn 103. I can see why it was so much cheaper when it was available.
I see their new diver is out:
To my eye it does a great job of bringing together the styling cues from their '50s and '60s divers with features from their rebooted range. Love it personally, but not as much as my P-104!
They should fire the guy who is responsible of choosing the lume colours
Like these new watches very much
I’ve had a dozen + O&W and every one was a nice watch.
The P-101 is very nice. Price seems reasonable at under £1k too
Their new diver is stunning .
