Thanks guys. Actually today I replaced the battery. I tried to measure the o-ring but it is kind of difficult so I can't know for sure. It should be M1.5*27 (1.5mm cross section, 27mm internal diameter) or M1.5*27.5 (1.5mm CS, 27.5mm ID) or M1.6*27.1 (1.6mm CS, 27.1mm ID - this is kind of odd size for metric o-ring but according to the charts it exists and it is the only 1.6mm CS with ID anywhere near these numbers).

The picture shows the diameter of the groove where the o-ring sits. T
he diameter of the hole where the whole assembly (including the ring) is inserted is 30mm

@rsingler I've been a very bad student. After I took these pictures, I realized what damage these calipers could have done to the o-ring grooves I hope it is not too late.
I need to write it down100 times: Never touch sharp metal tools to metal or plastic o-ring grooves
Locally I fount M1.5*28 very cheaply and gave them a try but they won't fit.
Actually the previous o-ring looked in great shape so I just cleaned it, lubed it and re-use it. I am still interested to find out the real size for next time.
Thanks for your offer Robert to post me the rings. I think I can get them quite easily. Finding the real size will be more than enough help. Thanks anyway
(Apologies for not translating all the above to Imperial but it is too late for me - got to go to bed).
Just as an update, I changed the battery of my Cressi Newton DC again and this time I used a new M1.5*27 o-ring (1.5mm cross section and 27mm inner diameter). It fits perfectly and I already did two test dives (down to 30m/100ft) without problems.
All the best
