# Omega Specialties CK 859 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Omega Specialties CK 859 is an elegant vintage-inspired dress watch reissuing the iconic 1939 model with a distinctive silver sector dial, blued feuille hands, and applied indices, powered by the manual-wind in-house Calibre 8926 featuring Co-Axial escapement, 72-hour power reserve, and METAS Master Chronometer certification, perfectly suited for sophisticated collectors who appreciate historical fidelity blended with modern horological excellence in a limited edition of 859 pieces.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.7/10.0

**Dials & Design Metric (9.7/10.0)** - The stunning sector dial with meticulous vintage detailing and superlative finishing rivals the aesthetic mastery of a Patek Philippe Calatrava 5196.
**Material Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Grade 5 stainless steel construction, domed sapphire crystal front and back, and exquisite brushing/polishing earn a elite 9.4, matching Rolex Oyster Perpetual standards.
**Movement Metric (9.3/10.0)** - In-house Omega 8926 manual calibre with Co-Axial escapement, 35 jewels, superior decoration, and METAS precision delivers a benchmark 9.3 comparable to A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia movements.
**Rarity Metric (8.9/10.0)** - Limited to 859 pieces at a $15,200 price point, it secures a high 8.9, akin to scarce Omega boutique exclusives like Paris Seamaster variants.
**Brand Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Omega's prestigious luxury heritage and innovation legacy command an 8.8, on par with Omega's own Speedmaster Moonwatch in brand equity.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Faithful recreation of the 1939 CK 859 with pioneering manual Co-Axial tech scores 8.5, echoing the cultural impact of vintage Omega Observatory winners.
**Versatility Metric (7.9/10.0)** - Excels in formal, vintage, and collector scenarios but limited for active use, achieving 7.9 like a Cartier Tank Louis.
**Complications Metric (3.9/10.0)** - Sole small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock yields a straightforward 3.9, typical of purist dress watches such as the Breguet Classique.
**Functions Metric (3.2/10.0)** - Core hours, minutes, and sub-seconds functionality provides a basic 3.2, standard for minimalist time-only pieces like the Nomos Tangente.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 9.4

## WM Collector Grade: A+

## Performance Insights: Exceptional strength in dials, materials, movement, rarity, and design offset modest complications and functions, delivering outstanding collector value well above the $15,200 price versus a $11,500 implied fair value.

## TPS Interpretation: Excellent Value: This limited-edition reissue punches far above its weight in heritage, craftsmanship, and exclusivity for the price.
