Any idea when this one will be officially announced? Did not see any official info about it

Curious about this one too.

CK859 officially announced finally according to Monochrome.

Finally something else to talk about besides the MoonSwatch.

How thick was the CK 859 re-issue / sector dial? I'm hoping it's not super thick.

the green on the Seamaster looks much different. Not a copy of the hulk but it looks like they may have missed the mark a bit.. would need to see it under sunlight

I've always had a soft sport for the two register 57 speedmaster, these new thinner models with the handwind look very nice, and am looking forward to seeing the new AT dials in the flesh, I was never fond of the teak dials

Was fortunate enough to go to the Omega Novelties event at Claridges yesterday. Apologies as I didn’t take any photos of this watch. It was a beautiful piece and very slim. IMO a top watch!

That's the motherload there! Thank you for taking/ sharing all the pics.
That silver sector dial with those cathedral hands is the winner for me- my only gripe with it is that for something that is clearly modelled on the vintage aesthetic, the size seems to be a bit overwhelming, no?

As I said earlier I apologise for not taking any photos but here’s something to ponder on regarding the size of the watch. I have very small wrists (15.5cms). I usually need several links taken out of bracelets and when I tried this watch on it was definitely not too large (IMO). But then again I don’t mind wearing 44mm watches and am trying on a Z-33 in a weeks time.
The other thing that helps with this watch is the very slim case so it’s not sitting so “proud” that cuffs of shirts catch on it.

That's the only one I find interesting and might enjoy, until....

I didn't ask, but they will know about it. I did ask the price...think it was round 8k...

Ouch... Unreal price for a simple time-only model. Hard pass.

I think someone else corrected my bad memory : its around 6kCHF.

I had looked it up myself online, wasn't reacting to the specific value you suggested but just the price level in general. It's not unlike the Seamaster 1948, just another data point reminding me why a modern/new watch is not likely in my future.

I recently was invited to a preview evening of the new models in the OB in Zürich. The golden
panda Speedmaster and the Ultra Deep were clearly my two favourites (the rest ain‘t bad either).

Has anyone in the US been able to see the Novelties 2022 pieces at their local boutiques? I asked my guy at my boutique (southern California) and he said that he's expecting them to land sometime during mid- to late- April.

This is in line with what I've heard as well. Sometime in April.

Compared today the SM1000 and the Ultra Deep , definitively an appealing watch , super light in titanium now wait and see 12K positioned like the Deep Sea in terms of budget , will see if the market will follow .

was thinking the Ultra Deep bigger or in the seventies when they do the SM1000 was a giant.

Was that just a sample piece or did your dealer already have it available for purchase?

That was the samples presented on the 31 , but they are still in the OB and was able to wear it and compare, now there is no planning when they will be available , maybe for this summer.

Very cool. I still want to see the green Sea master for myself. Probably won't be this year or the next. Nearest boutique is a day's travel and I'm not sure what the AD's availability will be like but the ADs are a couple hours distant, at least.

I don't know what to call it and I can't remember the name, so I henceforth dub it the Aqua Terra 'Aperol-Spritz'

Perfect - deserves to be re-broadcast on all WIS channels henceforth, plus a special award from Bienne's marketing guys. Really want one now, it will trigger some of the sweetest times of my life!
