How to factory reset Apple Watch when it wasn't unpaired with phone before it was reset?

Is there a way to factory reset the Apple Watch if I didn't unpair it before my IT dept re-imaged my phone? I am unable to pair the watch with the new phone image. I can't get into the watch since it was paired with the iPhone before factory reset. Thank you!

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
