The return of the Selectron – The new OW P-104 Selectron
It is with great pride that Ollech & Wajs brings the legendary Selectron name back into the collection – in the form of the new OW P-104 Selectron. This model incorporates design features from later Selectron watches, in particular the “Selectron Calculator” Ref. 004, which was released in 1969. This historic watch was supplied by Ollech & Wajs to the General Electric Co. and was specially developed for its aerospace engineers and test pilots.

Precision meets tradition
In keeping with its historical predecessor, the new OW P-104 Selectron is also equipped with a bidirectional bezel with logarithmic scales. This allows numerous mathematical calculations to be performed with just one turn – faster than any so-called smartwatch. It also requires no battery and remains fully functional even under water up to 300 meters. A truly intelligent solution!
The high-contrast dial, inspired by the minimalist instrumentation of a cockpit, guarantees optimum readability. The ivory-colored indices and the hands coated with luminous orange Super-LumiNova® ensure optimum visibility even in poor lighting conditions. The design is completed by an RAF regimental strap, a tribute to the close connection between Selectron watches and military aviation.
Swiss precision on the inside
The watch is powered by the Soprod Newton Precision P092, an outstanding automatic movement specially modified to OW’s specifications. This caliber is independently tested for reliability and robustness at the renowned Laboratoire Dubois in Chaux-de-Fonds. It has been adjusted in five positions, engraved with a distinctive OW Zurich 1956 on the nickel-coated movement plate and fitted with a specially designed rotor in the shape of the OW logo.
Limited edition with COSC certification
To celebrate the return of the Selectron, Ollech & Wajs is launching an exclusive special edition of just 56 numbered pieces. Each model in this limited series is identified by an individual engraving on the crown (number/56) and also has official COSC certification from the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC). This confirms the highest rate accuracy and underlines the exceptional quality of this timepiece.
A watch for true connoisseurs
The OW P-104 Selectron comes with a regimental-style RAF nylon strap and is available for CHF 1,656. Additionally, an OW S-Type “Beads of Rice” metal bracelet and a handcrafted black leather strap are available as accessories.
While digital technologies are increasingly replacing traditional instruments, the OW P-104 Selectron proves that slide rule watches are far from obsolete. This model combines mechanical intelligence with timeless elegance and makes a powerful statement against digital change.
