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

The clockwork

The movement is housed in a 39.56 mm, 1,000 m waterproof case made of 316L stainless steel, stamped, machined and brushed in the Swiss Jura becomes. The OW C-1000 S is also equipped with a reinforced case back, an extra strong, curved sapphire crystal and a screw-down special crown with a quadruple seal. The watch features a rotating stainless steel bezel with mineral insert for measuring diving times, as well as Super-LumiNova® covered indexes and hands for better readability when diving at extreme depths.

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

The stainless steel bracelet of the OW C-1000 type OW S Mark II was inspired by the bracelets of earlier Ollech & Wajs models in the precision line from the 1960s, including the legendary Caribbean 1000. Its links are individually milled from a solid block of 316L stainless steel before being carefully brushed, assembled and screwed together by hand. This process prevents the stretching that is common with pressed steel bracelets and ensures both durability and comfort. The bracelet's double folding clasp prevents accidental opening and is easy for divers to use.

In honor of the ocean and arctic explorers who wore the Caribbean 1000, there is the ever-popular Rubber Expedition Bracelet. It is made of high-quality, non-toxic rubber, feels soft and fits perfectly on 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, malleable, heat- and oil-resistant. A centimeter and inch scale as well as a cartographic scale of 1:25,000 are embossed on the smooth, matt black exterior.

On the back there is the Morse code and a conversion table for meters, yards and feet. Made by an Italian rubber specialist with 40 years of experience in bracelet development and handcrafted in Switzerland, with two brushed stainless steel clasps and a pin buckle signed "OWZ 1956". This strap doesn't just keep your watch in place - it helps you calculate, translate and navigate.

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