Omega CK 859

Post by pbj204 » Thu Mar 24, 2022 7:26 am

Everyone is focused on the Swatch Speedy, but they also came out with this one:

This vintage style timepiece is inspired by a classic 1939 OMEGA wristwatch that housed the famous 30-T2 manual-winding small seconds calibre.

The 39 mm case is crafted in stainless steel and features a vintage OMEGA logo embossed on the crown. Behind the domed sapphire crystal, the dial is made from Ag 925 silver, with blued hands and all markings transferred in dark blue. There is also a small-seconds subdial display at 6H.

Presented on a brown leather strap with a vintage OMEGA logo on the buckle, the timepiece is driven by the manual winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8926. This sits behind a polished caseback with several engravings including, “NUMBERED EDITION”, “CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER” and “CK 859” – a historic reference to stainless steel and the shape of the case.

I like how it's a simple dial, but the complexity around the markers makes it really interesting. Also love small seconds hand.

This is a really great watch. Usually Omega does something to screw these up, but this would be an awesome alternative to any of the mainstream (PP, JLC, GO, ALS, etc) dress watches. It's a little too big for me, but that's what people want so I can't fault them for doing it.

I like that. Every now and then I try to convince myself that I need a dress watch, but I talk myself out of it. But this would definitely be a contender in that category.

It has a similar feel to the original with the sections, hands, everything.
Would be something to see in person some day, but is ridulously fun to
see in these pictures. :headbang: So thanks a bunch for the look !!!

Looking forward to the Swatch version of it too Paul. :grin:
