Omega CK 859 Re-Issue Owners: Numbered Edition Tracking?

S savagehotdog

Interesting. Thanks. I got a call from two boutiques in nyc to grab one now. But it took months of waiting. Can I ask where you shop for your Omegas? I can't find a good source that offers discounts.

I just checked that website you mentioned and it just has a link to join their wait list. Other big name online vendors have said the same. I thought it was the case, but Omega emailed word for word "The CK 859 timepieces have not been discontinued at this time. The timepieces are a number series, which is currently under limited production. You will see the timepiece showing up from time to time on our website, due to the production count."

Yeah, very popular it seems.

Boutiques are pretty notorious for not discounting. Same with the online website, I’ve asked multiple times and been told no.

Give Al a call at Armstrong Rockwell in Hartford. He’s a true WIS and might be intimidating at first, but he’s one of the old guard. Great guy. He might be able to help you out. Last I knew he had one in the case. Good luck!

Owners here, how is your CK859's power reserve holding up?
I'm winding the watch to full (strong resistance of the crown), been getting at most 34hrs out of the advertised 72hrs.
Understand that PR varies and not asking to get the full 72, however 34hrs for a 2 weeks old watch is alittle low. TIA

I thought these were discontinued but just got an alert from Omega that they’re back in stock. I wonder if they were just pausing production for some reason?

I own a CK859 and want to replace the tiny crown with a larger crown that's easier to grip and wind. Does anyone on the forum have any suggestions? My thoughts are that this is not an impossible job, just a matter of finding the right parts and watchmaker to assist. Thanks!

I’ll just ask again, since there might be some new owners: anyone notice that the design of the tongue on the buckle makes it challenging to undo the strap unless you really bend the leather to an acute angle?

Hi Guys!

Just a little survey that we can keep going on:
I just got the CK 859 Re-edition, super hyped about it! As you know, this is a numbered edition, it has been launched in March this year and Omega confirmed that production is already stopped.
I wrote to Omega to ask them how many watches have been produced and they replied to me that they have no information from the manufacture about this.
Therefore the only way to try to guess is to see who has the highest number!

I'll start!

Mine is 2499

I agree. The interest in this also apparently has waned, after initial response from the collectors. There is a piece sitting at Delhi boutique for more than 6 months.

It's a splendid watch otherwise to own and wear.
