It didn’t feel thick on the wrist at all. Super comfortable (bear in mind I only wore it for a minute tops). A really nice vintage looking piece.

Word is retail will be $6,700. Any thoughts everyone? I think it looks fabulous. If you are a vintage omega fan like me, you will agree that most of Omega's best watches were their past releases from the 40's-late 60's. There are plenty of untapped beautiful references from this era that sorely need reissues!
What does numbered edition mean vs limited ? Does that mean there’s no pre determined quantity that will be made?
It's just like FOIS Speedmaster. Each watch will have an individual number but it'll not be limited. They may continue to produce for certain period irrespective of number of watches sold.
thanks. It's a beautiful watch. I would love to see it in person. So far I have not been impressed at all with the thickness of their Co-Ax movements, so that would be a question for me to see in person. Additionally, the price point is quite high for a time only. Aside from those two points, I love it.
I'm not such a fan of all these bulked up re-releases from Omega's back catalogue, to me they are just trying to hoover up some of the € floating around in the vintage market and from my observations the re-releases seem actually to make the original refs less rather than more desirable.
But the point I wanted to make was that I really feel the strap making team at Omega need to wake up and get with what's going on, the 'vintage look' strap on this new 859 with the side stitching near the lugs is just so 2018 and neither period correct nor what is seen as an acceptable 'vintage look' in 2022
Although I received the call Tuesday that my CK 859 had arrived, I was on business travel and couldn’t take delivery from the OB until today:
The 11.7mm height includes the domed sapphire crystal:
The dial appears to be an off-white color with hints of green:
But in nature lighting, it comes across as white:
Beautiful. Got mine on wednesday and I must say I spend a lot of time looking at the dial without noticing what time it is!
