Ollech & Wajs Ocean Graph Review: 1960s Dive Watch Redesigned for Today
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- The original, 1964 Ollech & Wajs Ocean Graph built on the first 1000-metre dive watch, the Caribbean 1000, and gave the world a brand-new type of bezel which enabled divers to calculate their dive duration and decompression at increasingly perilous depths. Relaunched last year, the new Ollech & Wajs Ocean Graph takes all that was brilliant about that original watch and replicates it for today’s users with modern construction and specifications. The question is: is such a specialised dive watch still useful today?

I’m a professional explorer, and I’m actually sponsored by Ollech & Wajs. I just came back from a polar expedition, and the C-1000 fought the -20C and the snowstorms like it was nothing. Really reliable watches !
So great to see this brand on your amazing channel !
Merci et félicitations pour la qualité de tes vidéos, je les dévore toute le jour même de la sortie.
Hahahah, gotta love the real deal, Im getting spammed with Luminox ads and suggested vids atm, now there's a fake mil spec wannabe wnkrs watch.
Did you wear it over or under the clothes ? I assumed a Metal case and -20C will give you frostbite ! Maybe i'm wrong here.
@@markusf6964 You’re not wrong. On polar expeditions we wear our watches over the clothes to avoid the metal case touching our skin, and also so we can see the time without removing any clothe, so we don’t put any bit of skin at risk when it’s too cold.
The oceanogprah has a nice color scheme and that's about it. Squarish hour markes dont look good at all but unfinished and lazy. Compared to the shown older models that look isnt even a throwback, which might then serve as some kind of excuse. the dial is flat colored giving it no further dimension. there is no lume on the bezel which is a clear oversight. Why is it 100 atm with a decompression bezel, but no lume on the bezel. At least be consistent! the beauty of the size of the case is debatable but imho the size is neither here nor there. most people will find this watch either too small or too large. Manufacturers must be willing to disappoint one group to satisfy another. Otherwise you offer a compromise both dont hate but dont love either. Obviously nobody is actually using this for diving and most likely not even keep it on in the shower. so while the 100 atm is a nice gimmick, I'd rather have 10-20 atm, a 12 hour marker bezel, and a sapphire caseback with a nicely skeletonized movement. at the price it is now (1800€ for the steel wristband version) it's a definite no-buy. It's a brand with little history even before it was revived under new owners. For about 2000€ there is a lot of competition out there. Ultimately, it looks like too many people were allowed to give their input into this model leading to a compromised watch.
@@DylanTrekking Salut Dylan ! La Ocean Graph a telle les mêmes capacités de résistance que la C1000?
I just bought one! Can't wait for it to arrive this week.
I bought one. I was attracted by the overall design, robustness and vibrancy of colour, but the legibility in the end meant it had to be moved on. I would love to see this one with a simple dive bezel.
Great video! Can I ask what camera you are using for the first few close up shots? Love how the view doesnt have such a wide open aperture. Love seeing all of the watch and not having some blurred out. Keep up the amazing work!
I love this watch, yet another one for the list!
Great review , BEAUTIFUL WATCH !
I've just purchased a DOXA 300T Caribbean. I like this O&W and although a little less than the DOXA I'm happy with my decision. That said it will be interesting to see what deals could be done in the future. Nice review as ever.
@2:54 Thanks for showing such awesome colour - yellow & orange! I like it better than the otherwise lovely orange/blue combination that is getting overdone.
Nice watch. I like the color combo of this one. Good vid
Keep at it!
This is a beautiful watch with a very interesting design. The bezel makes it feel a little bit like a decluttered Navytimer.
Interesting piece. Regards.
Beautiful watch, may get one someday. One thing, is the date off centered slightly to the right, notice it on the 6, or is just the angle I'm viewing your excellent video on? I just went on their site, their prices are inclusive of delivery and customs. Since they're hard to find, you know if you buy from them all will be well. I actually like the OW C-1000s a bit better, less clutter on the bezel and like the green on black.
legit stunner!!
O&W - très cool! Wish they reissue their field watches: the M 10 and M 65.
My favorite O&W is the P-104.
I like it, very cool. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
These really remind me of Muhle Glashutte another mil spec issued tool watch that I love
its a thing of beauty
Good watch but I would probably go with the P101 and a Doxa for the duver.
Bond should be wearing this brand
It’s functional , tough well made & under the radar Only the pros who use this need know. It’s not bling a d it doesn’t need to show off
This piece has that X-factor!
nice text, well done
incredible watch.. expensive but worth it
For that price it is a steal of a watch.
I prefer the look of the C-1000 ocer the Ocean-Graph. But the 15.8mm height and 1000m is overkill for me. The P-101 with the 12h bezel to track a second timezone and the slimmer case is more practical to me.
The CW 1000 Elite Pro, much better orange/blue combo for the money I reckon. Good review tho...
nice
My goodness....this is more Doxa than Doxa.
Who receives the paid promotion? if Watch Chronicler, then this video is an advertisement and not a review, right? Or does paid promotion apply to Dylan Trekking?
Quite good watch but there is a better swiss option for that price point. This is the new Titoni Seascoper 600 with with an inhouse movement COSC. Better looking and better specs in every way.
I dont know about the specs, but it certainly isnt better looking. It's merely a submariner clone.
@@maxmeier532 Then you know nothing.
I don't like the indices at 3 & 9 being placed opposite orientation of the one at 12
Too bad you weren't supplied the watch on the bracelet : ( - on the strength of your review I purchased the Ocean Graph. Very disappointed. Can you believe for a watch priced this high that the bracelet has a pressed clasp!! It feels like a cheap Aliexpress watch bracelet. The packaging was equally unimpressive for such an expensive watch. WARNING - to anyone who thinks this watch resembles the quality for which it is priced you are in for a rude awakening. For SFr 1,700 I expect quality at least equal to and probably better than Oris, Hamilton, Mido, Certina, etc. This watch is an inferior low quality production. If I could return it - I would in a heartbeat. Avoid this watch and brand.
I don't see the value over a Doxa
