The Ollech & Wajs C‑1000A is the most authentic modern recreation of the legendary Caribbean 1000 diver. Its 39.5 × 15.8 mm stainless steel case, complete with short triangular “Vampire fang” lugs and a narrow bidirectional 12‑hour bezel, mirrors the original’s proportions and design cues. A tall double‑domed sapphire crystal, luminous dial markers, and 20‑minute diver’s scale ensure vintage fidelity with modern durability. Rated to 1,000 m, the watch is powered by either a rare NOS ETA 2824‑2 automatic caliber (limited to the first 56 numbered pieces) or the Soprod Newton Precision P092, regulated in five positions for accuracy within ±5 seconds per day and offering a 44‑hour reserve. Delivered on a 20 mm yellow nylon one‑piece band, hand‑finished in Switzerland with brushed steel keepers and a signed OWZ 1956 buckle, the C‑1000A is both a professional instrument and a collector’s homage.

First introduced in 1964, the Caribbean 1000 stunned the watchmaking world by achieving a certified depth rating of 1,000 m — a feat unmatched by Rolex or Omega at the time. Produced in collaboration with Jenny, it became a benchmark of tool‑watch engineering and a cult favorite among divers and collectors. Decades later, NOS Caribbean 1000s remained highly sought after, cementing its reputation as one of the most iconic dive watches in history. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Ollech & Wajs has revived the model with the C‑1000A, a faithful reproduction that retains the original’s distinctive case architecture and bezel design while upgrading materials and movement technology. By blending heritage details with modern precision, the C‑1000A reaffirms OW’s legacy as a pioneer of extreme‑depth dive watches and offers collectors a true continuation of the Caribbean legend.
