A customer emailed us a photo of his Ocean-1 Classic watch at the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 Races, and we would like to share the photo with you. To view his complete review of the Ocean-1 Classic watch (read now).

Update to the Ocean-1 Classic watch. We are changing the movement used in the Ocean-1 Classic to the Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement. We have 30 watches en route (estimated arrival date is June 20th). The case of the Ocean-1 Classic is 42-mm but the dial has a distinctively different design than the standard Ocean-1 in that it uses larger markers. Check out the upgraded Ocean-1 Classic.

Purchase the Ocean-1 Classic

Santiago Villa is the 2007 CCS / Florida Expert Overall Motorcycle Champion. He also won expert championships in 2007 for Ultra Light Superbike, Unlimited Superbike and Unlimited Supersport. He finished 2nd in GTO and Unlimited Grand Prix and finished 3rd in Heavyweight Superbike. After the CCS Champion's Ceremony, held in Miami this past weekend, Alldaron delivered to Santiago an Ocean-1 Classic watch for his excellent performance and endurance during the 2007 race season. Santiago had to prevail through unbearable odds to claim the title and the 1st place championship.
Alldaron with Santiago.

Santiago Villa - CSS Champion.

Colombian racer, Santiago Villa, was badly burned when a fire erupted during a routine pit stop during the ASRA Team Challenge, Oct 19 2007, at Daytona International Speedway. He was airlifted to a burn center in Orlando, Florida. Recovering in the hospital, Santiago was first in points in the race season, and would take the title if no-one passed him. The rider holding the second place in points saw his opportunity to take the lead, pushing extra hard each race to over-take Santiago and claim the title. Being the driven individual he is, Santiago replied by checking himself out of the hospital (against doctor's recommendations), getting suited up and racing the last three races in the season to win the Championship and take the 1st place title.

When we heard about this amazing display of endurance, and an uphill battle against all odds, we decided we had to reward him the best way we know how... with a Swiss Debaufre watch. We contacted the director of the CSS organization, Henry Degouw and arranged the informal presentation, much to Henry's appreciation.

"When I spoke with Santiago, I was impressed by his humility and gratitude towards his family, friends and other riders on the circuit. He possessed such a calm and appreciative attitude, not common in someone who just took the first place Championship. I was over-whelmed by his manner and was proud to be giving him a Debaufre watch." Alldaron Knewitz

We just received a limited quantity of 50 of the 42-mm Ocean-1 Classic watches for $435, after many of you have requested that we produce this watch once again. Featuring the SW-200 Swiss Automatic Movement, the Ocean-1 Classic uses the same surgical stainless steel case construction, as you have come to love with the standard Ocean-1, however the dial has the Classic design.

Water resistant to 1000 feet; screw down crown and case back; sapphire crystal glass and solid stainless bracelet makes this watch rugged and durable, yet the sexy classic dial design has larger, more dominant, markers. We only have 50 on the way, so get yours quickly as this watch has the tendency to sell out rapidly. - Order the Ocean-1 Classic
