In their own words:

We are excited to present the new OW M-52 ‘All Units’ (AU), a watch that draws on the archive of Ollech & Wajs military watches used by US soldiers, pilots, sailors and divers from the early 1960s. Highly water resistant, durable and multi-functional, these watches were equally popular with civilian professionals working in challenging environments.
