Introducing the Kennett x Ollie Ollerton Solaforce; a limited edition Swiss-made solar chronograph built in collaboration with former Special Forces operator and survival expert Ollie Ollerton. Engineered for those who demand precision, durability, and purpose, this timepiece is restricted to just 500 individually numbered pieces worldwide.
At its core is the RONDA Solartech Cal 2040.D, a Swiss solar chronograph movement that converts light into energy and never needs a battery change. One full charge delivers months of power, even in darkness; built to keep moving on operations, expeditions, or everyday wear without missing a beat.
The 42mm stainless steel case is finished in tactical matte black, paired with a black sunray dial and luminous hands and markers for legibility when it matters most. A unidirectional rotating aluminium bezel adds functional precision for timing and tracking, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal stands up to the elements. The orange rubber strap, with a spare black strap included, uses an Easy-Click quick-change system, letting you swap straps in seconds with no tools required.
With 100m (10 ATM) water resistance, date indication, and an individually numbered case back marking its limited status, the Solaforce is engineered to perform under pressure. Every watch is backed by a 2-year international warranty.
Key Features:
Born from a shared belief in resilience under pressure, the Kennett x Ollie Ollerton Solaforce is more than a chronograph — it's a tool built for those who push limits and never look back.
Kennett has joined forces with former Special Forces operator Ollie Ollerton to create the Solaforce; a Swiss-made solar chronograph engineered for those who refuse to stop, even at their limit.
Limited to just 500 individually numbered pieces, this collaboration brings together Kennett's precision Swiss watchmaking and Ollie's relentless mindset, forged through six years in the Special Boat Service and a lifetime of pushing past breaking points.
Matthew "Ollie" Ollerton is a former UK Special Forces operator, bestselling author, and founding Directing Staff member of Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Ollie's career began at 18 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos, serving operationally in Northern Ireland and Iraq. After completing a gruelling six-month selection process — one of just seven candidates to pass from an original 250 — he joined the Special Boat Service (SBS), where he spent six years on missions spanning counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, homeland security, and humanitarian operations. He also trained as a combat frogman and submersible pilot.
Since leaving the Special Forces, Ollie has become one of the UK's most recognised voices on resilience and mental performance — a multiple Sunday Times bestselling author (Break Point, Battle Ready, Scar Tissue, and others), founder of the BreakPoint training programme, and a fixture on screens worldwide through SAS: Who Dares Wins and SAS Australia.
His philosophy is simple: everyone has a break point — and it's in pushing past it that we find out who we really are.

Very fortunate to have purchased this watch and it does exactly what I was thinking. Very legible, great time keeper . No battery required due to solar charging and longevity of the rechargeable battery. Solid timepiece
