All about the OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII Diver's Watch 1,000m
The OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII Diver's Watch is a product of modern Swiss watchmaking and is powered by OW's custom-made Soprod Newton Precision P092 automatic movement.
COSC version available. Please inquire.
The Soprod Newton movement is independently tested for reliability and durability at the internationally renowned Laboratoire Dubois in Chaux-de-Fonds. OW customers have praised it highly, with many claiming it to be the most accurate movement they have ever owned.
OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII Diver's Watch 1,000m
Modified to OW specifications and adjusted in five positions, the movement has been refined to align with our robust aesthetic. The nickel-plated back is engraved with the inscription "OW Zurich 1956," above which sits a custom-designed rotor in the shape of the OW brand. This inimitable new movement bears OW's own "Precision" designation, reserved only for movements of the highest quality.
The Movement
The movement is housed in a 39.56 mm, 1,000 m water-resistant 316L stainless steel case, stamped, machined, and brushed in the Swiss Jura. The OW C-1000 S also features a reinforced screw-down caseback, an extra-thick domed sapphire crystal, and a screw-down special crown with quadruple gasket. The watch features a rotating stainless steel bezel with a mineral insert for measuring dive times, as well as Super-LumiNova®-coated indices and hands for improved readability when diving at extreme depths.
The OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII comes with three different straps:
The OW S Mark II stainless steel bracelet for the OW C-1000 is inspired by the bracelets of earlier Ollech & Wajs precision line models from the 1960s, including the legendary Caribbean 1000. Its links are individually milled from a solid block of 316L stainless steel before being carefully hand-brushed, assembled, and screwed. This process prevents the stretching common in pressed steel bracelets, ensuring both durability and comfort. The bracelet's double-folding clasp prevents accidental opening and is easy for divers to operate.
In honor of the ocean and arctic explorers who wore the Caribbean 1000, the ever-popular Expedition rubber strap is available. Made from high-quality, pollutant-free rubber, it is soft to the touch and perfectly conforms to the wrist. Thanks to its insulating properties, it remains flexible even at low temperatures, ensuring comfort during cold water diving. It is also abrasion-resistant, deformable, heat-resistant, and oil-resistant. The smooth, matte black exterior features an embossed centimeter and inch scale, as well as a 1:25000 cartographic scale.
On the back, you'll find the Morse code alphabet and a conversion table for meters, yards, and feet. Manufactured by an Italian rubber specialist with 40 years of experience in strap development and handcrafted in Switzerland, with two brushed stainless steel clasps and a pin buckle signed "OWZ 1956". This strap not only keeps your watch in place—it helps you calculate, translate, and navigate.
To celebrate the launch of the C-1000 MkII, a new monochrome RAF-style nylon strap with the inscription "Freediver" is also available. The thin white line woven through the strap symbolizes the static line used by freedivers to orient themselves in the dark and ascend. The strap features an engraved OWZ pin buckle and two stainless steel keepers. The "Freediver" strap is available with both the rubber Expedition strap and the S-type bracelet.

My personal view on the OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII Diver's Watch 1,000m
"Eine Ikone kehrt zurück – und wie! Ollech & Wajs stellen die OW C-1000 MkII vor, die von einer der wegweisendsten Taucheruhren aller Zeiten abstammt. Im Rennen um die größte Wasserdichtigkeit setzte die Caribbean 1000in den 60ern neue Maßstäbe. Ihre Gene trägt auch die C-1000 MkII in sich. Nicht nur die hohe Wasserdichtigkeit ist geblieben, auch optisch erinnert die Taucheruhr der Schweizer stark an die Urahnin – ohne sie zu kopieren. Dennoch reichen Optik und Wasserdichtigkeit allein nicht aus, um eine Ikone wiederzubeleben. Ollech & Wajs verstehen es, uns mit der OW C-1000 MkII ein Gefühl von Wertigkeit, Handwerk und Tradition zu vermitteln. Mit drei verschiedenen Armbändern kannst du den funktionalen Taucher flexibel einsetzen."

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No answer received?
You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.
Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong
Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.
