Ollech & Wajs (Switzerland) Ref. OW C-1000 A – On NATO, Rubber or Steel Bracelet

> THIS IS A PRE-ORDER. THE WATCH RELEASE IS EXPECTED IN DECEMBER 2024 <

“The Ollech & Wajs C-1000 A – marks the 60th anniversary of the first 1000 m dive watch. In 1964 the Ollech & Wajs Precision Caribbean 1000 set the standard by which all other dive watches would be measured with a certified record-shattering depth rating of 1,000m (3,300ft). The single biggest leap forwards in the evolution of the dive watch was thanks partly to the revolutionary 702 mono-block case with its distinctive pointed lugs. It was worn by commercial and military divers and tested by ocean explorers in the Red Sea, the North Atlantic and under the frozen Arctic ice pack. To mark 60 years since the Caribbean 1000 entered dive watch folklore we have created a special C-1000 Edition that reinterprets several design features of the iconic inaugural reference. The 60th Anniversary C-1000 A evokes the unmistakable abbreviated triangular lugs, affectionately referred to as ‘Vampire fangs’ by collectors. Caribbean 1000 enthusiasts will also appreciate the familiar tapered hour and minutes hands and the 12 hour bi-directional bezel with 20 minute diver’s scale, also inspired by the original. The C-1000 A is just as impermeable as its antecedent though thanks to advancements in materials and manufacturing it achieves this with the convenience of a screw down case back.”
