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

I tracked down mine to an AD in Santa Clara. Every OB I have been to (Singapore, Malaysia, Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt) all did not have it and I only found it at 3 ADs. One in Scotland One in US and another in Belgium.

I love it, manual wind, 39mm, double barrel, great finishing and silver dial. But at this price point, non enthusiasts / collectors will find it hard to buy. First thing I did was to order a new strap and deployant from my local OB and they were all so excited to see the CK859 as they didn't get many to sell.

what strap did you order and please post pics! Mine's still on the original strap but I don't really like it (apart from the buckle) but suffering from paralysis analysis in terms of a replacement. A deployant sounds great.

No surprise - „normal“ people don‘t even know it exists, as Omega somehow did 0 PR/ Social around this piece. It‘s a weird release to me.

completely agree, it was such a weird silent release. Would love to heard someone from Omega give some background as to how this piece came about and their plans for it.

There is a technique. Push the buckle back on both sides which creates room and strap opens easily.

Why the thing is difficult. Look at the tongue angle, Compared to a regular Omega buckle tongue:

I ordered the 20mm vintage brown strap from Omega with the deployant.

Here are some photos. The stock strap was taken off immediately as it creases too easily and the size wasn’t right for me. Looks complete on a deployant although I want to find a thin strap as the supplied strap with the deployant is a little too chunky.

Thanks for posting all that. Strap looks great!

I got low no. 49X with Numbered Edition on top caseback from OB in OZ. Love the vintage look and vinatage omega text and logos. It is actually bit weird to wind this movement after 10 rotations. Can someone tells me what are those little pin like poking out? Looks like those little pins are the ones that gives it a tension while winding the movement. Cheers

Are you saying you can fully wind the movement in 10 rotations? If so that doesn't seem right to me, it takes me ages to fully wind mine from fully unwound. Not sure how many rotations that is as I haven't specifically counted, but it's a lot more than 10!

Since I only wound it 20 times and it will last about a day and half. I can feel the tension after 10 wounds. Then I saw those little pins as per my photo.

The tension is weird, I agree. Different from all my other watches.

My father owns this watch and may sell it b/c the winding feedback and tiny crown are so unsatisfying.

Agree you can feel tension after a few winds but there's still a lot of winding to do. There's a definite hard stop when fully wound.

Also agree the crown is harder to wind. I like the look of it though so I'd rather that than a bigger crown which I think would look wrong.

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

hi, mine is 112!
