Built for Adventure. Designed with Purpose.

ONVA was born from a simple idea: a watch should be a trusted companion—built to last, designed with intention, and crafted to be serviced for generations. Many modern watches are costly and likely to stay at home, safe from the danger of real adventure. I wanted to make a quality watch that was priced for the quality of its materials yet able to actually be worn and enjoyed. ONVA is for making authentic memories on rugged adventures.

I’m Mitchel Thompson, the founder of ONVA. Before launching ONVA, I spent years consulting for watch brands—helping them refine their production, improve their materials, and create better watches. But through that work, I saw a disconnect: many watches were designed without long-term serviceability in mind. I set out to change that by creating timepieces that balance durability, performance, and repairability—without compromise.

A Watch for the Journey

ONVA isn’t just built to last—it’s built for adventure. Whether you’re trekking through remote landscapes, navigating city streets, or setting sail into the unknown, your watch should be ready to go wherever you do.

At the edge of a cliffside trail, the wind whipping past as you check your ONVA, its precise movement ticking away, undeterred by the elements. Or maybe you’re in a bustling city, your watch catching the golden hour light as you glance down before stepping into your next meeting. Wherever life takes you—from mountain peaks to boardrooms—ONVA is designed to keep up.

A Watchmaker’s Perspective

Most watch brands start with an investor; ONVA started with a workbench. That foundation gives us an edge. While many brands outsource everything from design to servicing, we integrate watchmaker-level expertise into every detail of our timepieces.

Before ONVA was a watch brand, it was a consulting firm specializing in manufacturing and movement assembly. That experience shapes every design decision we make, ensuring that ONVA watches are not just beautiful but also engineered for reliability and ease of service.

Purpose-Driven Design

“Built for adventure. Designed with purpose.” is more than just a tagline—it’s the heart of ONVA. We believe a great watch should be reliable, repairable, and ready for anything.

That means:

• Thoughtful Engineering – Every ONVA watch is designed for longevity. We use robust movements, quality components, and a construction that allows for easy servicing.

• Uncompromising Functionality – Whether it’s a high-performance movement or a well-balanced case, our watches are made to perform under real-world conditions.

• Lifetime Serviceability – We design our watches with the same care and technical knowledge that goes into for more costly timepieces.

Why ONVA?

ONVA isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about creating a lasting impact. We design watches meant to be worn through every adventure, serviced when needed, and trusted for years to come. From the summit to the city, ONVA is with you every step of the way.

This is what sets us apart. This is ONVA.
