OLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII diving watch 1,000m

The OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII Diver's Watch is a product of modern Swiss watchmaking and is powered by the custom automatic caliber Soprod Newton Precision P092 from OW.

COSC variant possible. Please inquire.

The Soprod Newton caliber is independently tested for reliability and durability at the internationally renowned Laboratoire Dubois in Chaux-de-Fonds. The OW customers have praised it highly: many claim it is the most precise movement they have ever owned.

OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII Diver's Watch 1,000m

The movement, modified according to OW specifications and adjusted in five positions, has been refined according to our robust aesthetic. The nickel-plated case back is engraved with the inscription "OW Zurich 1956", on which sits a custom-designed rotor shaped like the OW brand, co-created by us. The unique new movement carries the OW proprietary designation "Precision", reserved only for movements of the highest quality.

The movement

The movement is housed in a 39.56 mm, 1000 m water-resistant case made of 316L stainless steel, which is stamped, machined, and brushed in the Swiss Jura. The OW C-1000 S also features a reinforced case back, an extra-strong, domed sapphire crystal, and a screwed special crown with quadruple sealing. The watch has a rotating stainless steel bezel with a mineral insert for measuring dive times, as well as Super-LumiNova®-coated indexes and hands for better readability when diving at extreme depths.

The OLLECH & WAJS OW C-1000 MkII comes with three different straps:

The stainless steel strap of the OW C-1000 type OW S Mark II was inspired by the straps of earlier Ollech & Wajs models from the precision line of 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 together. This process prevents the stretching common in pressed steel straps and ensures both durability and wearing comfort. The strap's double folding clasp prevents accidental opening and is easy for divers to handle.

In honor of the ocean and Arctic explorers who wore the Caribbean 1000, there is the ever-popular rubber expedition strap. It is made from high-quality, pollutant-free rubber, feels soft, and fits perfectly around the wrist. Thanks to its insulating properties, it remains flexible even at low temperatures, providing comfort during cold water diving. Additionally, it is abrasion-resistant, deformable, heat- and oil-resistant. On the smooth, matte black outer side, a centimeter and inch scale as well as a cartographic scale of 1:25000 are embossed.

On the back are the Morse alphabet and a conversion table for meters, yards, and feet. Made 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.

On the occasion of the launch of the C-1000 MkII, there is also a new solid color nylon strap in RAF style with the inscription "Freediver". The thin white line woven through the strap symbolizes the static line that freedivers use to orient themselves in the darkness and resurface. The strap is equipped with an engraved OWZ pin buckle and two stainless steel clasps. The "Freediver" strap is available both with the rubber expedition strap and the S-type strap.
