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.
