Precision engineering. Expert craftsmanship. Heirloom quality.
Named for one of the greatest heroes in literary history, ΟΔΥΣΣΈΑΣ—a man of intellect and versatility, strength and endurance. The University of Michigan Odysseus II comes in a 43.5mm brushed stainless-steel case with screw-down crown and is water resistant to 200 meters.
ultra custom design
We go the extra mile with commemorative designs to celebrate – and elevate – what's important to you. Customizations for the University of Michigan Odysseus include the block "M" embossed in a repeating pattern and inhabiting the prime real estate position and "GO BLUE" is featured around the chapter ring at the hour marks.
Timepieces befitting of one of America's oldest universities.
expert craftsmanship
AXIA Timepieces are designed in the US and hand-built by the same engineers who assemble other luxury Swiss watch brands in the legendary Alps town of Alle, where watchmakers have honed their craft for generations. AXIA Timepieces are also powered by the same movements as many of those brands. Premium watches without the premium price.
enduring quality
This isn't your typical piece of commemorative jewelry. We pay painstaking attention to every detail. From our designs and the components we use, to the customer service we deliver, our goal is to exceed expectations in everything we do. AXIA means value/worth in Greek and is at the heart of our ethos. Every Timepiece is built to last. In fact, just like the Parthenon outlasted the ancient Greeks, your AXIA Timepiece will probably outlast you.

These watches are superbly crafted to the utmost tolerances with excellent, dependable Swiss movements.
There are countless companies that produce low quality, high-priced watches. Harder yet, is to find a company that produces a high quality, fair priced watch with excellent customer service, to boot. Axia Time is easily one of the latter. I highly recommend!
The timepiece looks exactly like what is on the website, true advertisement! I appreciate the time, care, methodical and meticulous planning and preparation it took to create this masterpiece.
Amazing and beautifully made watches, very pleasant experience, impeccable customer service!!
AXIA Time was 30 years in the making.
Ever since winning the Lacrosse Ivy League Championship in 1988, founder John Kanaras searched for a high quality watch with a design that matched the significance of his achievements. In 2018, he built his vision, just in time for his alma mater to win again.
