Ollech & Wajs C-1000 MkII Owner Review : Adventurous, concise and professional

A watch ready for adventure, cold, heat, the sea (1000m waterproof!!!), the mountains, the metro, running, hiking, etc. etc. Yes, but all this with style, precision and radical design. I have become a true fan of the brand, its history but also totally convinced of the seriousness of the relaunch by its buyer, Charles Le Ménestrel. In terms of case, its 39.5mm suits me perfectly and its rather long lugs allow to refine the overall balance of the case which is, it must be said, very thick (between 15 and 16mm). You have to try it to realize the very good balance of this watch which is not at all clumsy in my eyes. Note that the watch runs impeccably, powered by a perfectly coherent ETA 2824-2 movement and well adjusted by the watchmakers at OW. Bought second-hand (almost new) via Chrono24 for barely 1000 euros, I don't see many serious competitors that can compete with this watch that is both logical and classy. A small downside that was quickly rectified: the glass insert that overhangs the graduated bezel was damaged after a few weeks in a very urban environment and without me realizing it. Once contacted, the after-sales service answered me, in French, quickly and took charge of the repair (still under warranty). The watch was returned repaired in less than 4 weeks. This hassle, although it surprised me a lot, confirms the seriousness of the OW house, from whom I had not bought the watch new.
