A little more info…
The boutique said there around 2K of these being made. She told me the number…but I forget if she said 1,900 or 2,300 or 2,500.
She also said allocations are sent to boutiques with priority sent to boutiques where customers have made request for the watch. This explains why after my initial call to the boutique I received an email a few days later asking if I’m still interested.
Thanks!
Still cannot believe I got a call after less than a few weeks on the waiting list. The boutique only had one allocation too, so must have been very very lucky.
Yes, I was waiting for someone else to post, but luckily I did not have to wait too long to do it myself.
I needed to fill a void after parting with another sector dial.
I dont think you will have long to wait!
I contacted the boutique less than a few weeks and got a call. They only had one allocation too so I am guessing not many people know about this piece.
I just got the call from the OB!🎉🎉🎉
I contacted them at the beginning of March based on a photo I saw on Instagram. Unbelievably, my piece just arrived today as you posted your beauty! Unfortunately, I’m out of town with a client on business! 😩
This really is a major catch of this w and w
So many things right. One of the best sector dials imo
Congrats!!! I saw the prototype today…
… and put an order right away ;-) Hope to join you soon as a CK 859 owner! Cheers Henrik ...
You will very soon. I'm sure of it. :)
Never bought from this particular boutique, yet I contacted them via email, got on the list, and received the call soon after. Quite a whirlwind experience.
Thank you!
Winding is smooth with just enough resistance and noise to feel fulfilling! I was also pleasantly surprised by the quick hour set. ...
Beautiful. This makes me contact my Omega boutique.
Do you know how thick the case is? It seems a bit thick to me, so hopefully it is still less than 10mm.
Sweet. That is a beauty. Best release from omega this year
The lug to lug seems a bit long. Could you help to measure it? And could you make sure that the caseback is screwed in or pressure fitted? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.
I quickly measured and I got around 45mm. The back is pressure fitted. I will share some back shots soon.
Thank you for the help. Size is very wearable. Pity about the caseback.
I guess they want to save thickness as much as they can. Lovely watch. Congratulation.
Love it!
Would you mind please sharing a picture of it in profile? I'd like to get a sense of the contour of the crystal.
Congrats!
I got the call today to see it at the boutique after inquiring on the day it was launched. Really want to see this in person. I see you or someone else posted it's 11.7mm thick which is fine but was hoping it was 10mm or less. I see this as a possible com...
Confirmed 11.7mm
Limited to the plastic calipers I own. Picture includes bad photo next to 39mm Explorer. Nevertheless I measured: 11.7mm Total height including domed crystal 8.5-9mm Case height without crystal 46mm Lug to Lug ...
Yes I did.
I pulled the trigger. They gave me a single watch travel case while I was pushing for a complimentary extra strap. I was impressed with the Omega straps but I don’t think they include quick release spring bars. ...
Beautiful!
They was also kind to give me a travel case to keep it separate from the box.

Interesting.
The last part makes sense. I did not think this was a limited edition, but I would assume numbers are not finite for speciality pieces anyway.
Many thanks! The thickness of the case is perfect
The crystal however is quite a bit domed and not many may like it. Hardly noticeable due to the double anti-reflective coating.
Looks like we have another Omega community watch . . .
. . . with three confirmed and more in the offing ;-) . . .
Don't think so, Mach. I'm committed to adding a modern manual wind Omega . . .
. . . to my collection, but hoping for a more personally relevant reference as the basis. For example, a faithful homage to ref 2272 . . . . . . which could easily accommodate their cal 8926 movement would be more in line with my preferences. Best, Art ...
Another piece of useful info
I asked Omega how many turns of the crown will fully charge the mainspring and they said about 65 full 360 clockwise turns of the crown will ensure a complete power reserve. Cheers
That is good to know. I wasn't sure and had been experimenting.
For reference 40-45 turns a day did not help and had increased this to 60. It is a shame the caliber is not in the generic manual.
agree
The manual provided with watch was an old one not including references to caliber 8926. The online manual I found has info on caliber 8926 but as far as I could tell did not mention winds to fully charge. www.omegawatches.com
