The Omega CK 859 is a re-edition that draws inspiration from a historical Omega model from 1939, specifically a 30.10 caliber chronometer. This modern interpretation aims to capture the aesthetic and spirit of its vintage predecessor while incorporating contemporary manufacturing techniques and materials. It represents Omega's commitment to revisiting its heritage designs, offering collectors a piece that bridges historical design with modern watchmaking. The reference is notable for its faithful recreation of a specific vintage dial layout and case profile.
The case of the CK 859 is crafted from stainless steel, measuring 39mm in diameter. It houses the Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 8926, a manual-winding movement that offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The watch features a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides, protecting a silver-colored dial. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, showcasing its finishing and technical specifications.
This reference appeals to collectors who appreciate vintage-inspired designs and the technical advancements of modern Omega movements. Its limited production run enhances its collectibility, positioning it as a distinct offering within Omega's heritage collection. The CK 859 provides a blend of historical aesthetics and contemporary performance, making it a significant piece for enthusiasts of both vintage and modern Omega timepieces.
it's a handsome timepiece anyway you 'slice' it . Congrats, Filip
Many congratulations! You must take some macros of the movement next!
Thank you and let’s enjoy!
Having said that, I have been rather lazy these past few years and have not bothered to use my own SLR and macro lenses at all. I will definitely need to change this coming summer. 😆
Easy and convenient 👍🏻
