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.

I got the call yesterday but had to wait until today to pick up.
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.
Thank you!

Seeing it in person is pure joy.
Congrats!👏👏👏

Hopefully, this means I won’t be waiting much longer for mine!🤞
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! 😩
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.
Many thanks!!

You won't regret it!

You were lucky to get it soon.
Very cool.

Sincere congratulations, Filip
Much appreciated!

It was difficult to find many photos online.
Thank you!

Winding is smooth with just enough resistance and noise to feel fulfilling! I was also pleasantly surprised by the quick hour set. ...

Thanks.

I quickly measured and I got around 45mm. The back is pressure fitted. I will share some back shots soon.
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.
Thanks.

The case is much thinner in person.
Thank you friend!
By: dhendolan : April 7th, 2022-00:02
I believe I'll have to buy one.

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
By: LemaniaChrono : April 7th, 2022-00:16
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!
By: KCLQMULKU : April 7th, 2022-06:16
They was also kind to give me a travel case to keep it separate from the box.
A little more info…
By: LemaniaChrono : April 7th, 2022-17:42
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...
Interesting.
By: KCLQMULKU : April 7th, 2022-19:41
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.
Thank you!!!
By: KCLQMULKU : April 6th, 2022-17:28
Here you go! ...
Another piece of useful info
By: LemaniaChrono : April 17th, 2022-03:50
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
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
