Sector dials: Longines vs Omega CK859. Which one do you prefer?

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 19th, 2022-13:43

After getting the Longines sector dial yesterday, Nico suggested to see both the Longines and the CK859 side by side. When I first got the CK859 earlier this year, I thought these two reference were too similar to get them both. However I could not get th...

Hi Chono, After having lookied at a whole range of sector dial watches, I went for the Longines. It may not have an Omega or JLC movement, but the dial, the dial is just nicer!

Well the Longines dial has something special for sure with the outer ring being silver. The overall dial has a simplicity to it that is very different from the Omega. Thanks for commenting...

Both great but the Longines pips it for me. Just like the contrast I think.

Very cool indeed that contrast!

I like the omega

Ah yes i agree for the bracelet! Like this:

Oooohhh! More info on that bracelet please! -John

No this is the normal Longines bracelet that comes with the black dial version of this same reference. My AD ordered the bracelet separately

Thanks! I saw the black dial w/bracelet on Longines website, but not the silver.

It only comes with the black dial but can be preserved separately

I am a big fan of Omega, not as much of Longines

Thank you Andrea, so 3 to 1 in favor of the Longines dial so far

Big congrats on your new addition to your collection dear friend Yacomino. Not easy to choose one or another as though both have a sector dial they are different. I like the flat bezel of the Longines so much.

Thank you dear Abel! Indeed in my case the only option was to get both! :-))) Cheers!

Ha ha ha! You are welcome my friend!! I can well understand you!

I would choose the Longines for more attractive dial, slightly thinner and much more affordable. Though the Omega is technically more sophisticated.

Thank you Bill. You are right on all count :-))). 5-2 for the Longines then!

I prefer the Omega

Thanks. 5-3 for the Longines...

I thought the Omega had me, but sIde by side I have to say Longines. Enjoy! Lars

Thanks Lars! Clearly both are appealing for different reasons. 6-3 for the Longines

Both very nice. Both different and difficult to compare. Both have their pros and cons.

Thanks Markus! You can't go wrong with either one really! 6-4 for the Longines

Omega !

Thank you Captain! The Omega does have a lot of character!

I would be proud to own either or both …

I will! And as a bonus both are really incognito which very useful for me

We all need an “incognito” watch 😎

:-)))

Omega for me, here.

Thank you Nicolas! This brings us to a tie! 6-6!

Time for a good tie break, then. ;)

hihihi! Shall we play a 7 points tie break then? Or do you prefer the 5th set Wimbledon format with no limits! ;-)

Ala Winbledon, of course!

Wimbledon it is then! :-))

:)))

I guess the tie break is no longer needed with the omega pulling away 19-13! ☺️😉

I think so. Curious victory. ;)

😏 at the risk of sounding cheesy, everybody wins here! 😎😎😎

LOL, my cheesy friend.

Hehehe … Hope to meet you in Paris one day soon! I for sure need to bring my daughter eventually

That would be with great pleasure. Remember, France is the Country of Cheese!

And wine! 🤣🤣🤣

Also. ;)

It’s a mater of taste of course, not bad to have both, however my preference is Longines to the point that it might be my next watch. Congratulations wear them in good health!🥂

Thanks! You want regret it I am sure! Its a great watch and it feel great on the wrist

Thanks for the feedback, I had it on my wrist way to many times, but something else always came on my way... But now, the temptation is getting bigger, as many times I see it!😜

Well in that case here is another temptation

Wow, what a shot! This strap makes it even more attractive! Superb choice, but now please stop because I feel the need to get it;-)))

I tried to resist on this one but eventually I had to get it! You will likely to I hope 😎

Close call…

Thank you Myles. Close call indeed! 7-7! The Omega is a great choice and a joy to wear!

I've been looking at those two sektor dial watches lately. Choosing between those two, it's a draw for me: Omega qualitywise, and the Longines dial wise, but... I 'hate' eaten numbers on a dial🤷‍♀️. Baltic has a nice sektor dial watch, for almost

Both great choices!

Omega over Longines because

Thanks for commenting!

Remember this

😱 beautiful!

yes but not mine 😆 unfortunately

Cool! HAGWE!

No contest here.

Thank you dear Gatsby, the Omega is pulling away with a 9-7 lead!

I like both but would have to pick the Longines

Great choice! Thanks for looking!

CK for me

My pleasure Jerome! Both great watches for sure. The CK leads 10-8!

Both look good.

Thank you George. You are correct the Ag dial is quite nice on the Omega! 11-8 Omega

I'll take the Omega

12-8 for the Omega then. Thanks for commenting!

It's a close call.

IT is a difficult choice for sure! 12-9 for the Omega!

I prefer

The clean dial is what stroke me when I first saw it in the flesh. I love my CK, but the Longines has different attributes that I love as well! Cheers!

Both are cool ! But I’d choose the Omega only because I don’t like the eaten 6 of the Longines (which has a very nice strap btw).

Thanks Boris, that eaten 6 is bothering a lot of people it would seem 13-10 for the Omega then

Omega for me!
