The Best New Omega Of 2022: Why The CK 859 (39mm) Watch Is So Important & Their Greatest In Decades

Today I'm excited to share not only one of the best releases of the year, but one of the most significant and beautifully realized watches from Omega in 2022. In a never-ending sea of limited-edition Speedmasters and 007 Seamasters, the CK 859 is a refreshing Art Deco capolavoro and tribute to one of the most important in-house calibers from Omega. Not only did the legendary 30T2 calibre lay the foundation for what the brand is today, but it also helped mankind during some of the world's darkest hours. Join me for an unboxing and mini review where I share the positives, negatives, specifications, analysis of the style, design evolution, history, and everything else you need to know about this world-changing watch.

I'm seriously starting to enjoy modern interpretation of vintage styles!

[@willlake8759]

Agreed, reduces the risk of the mechanism breaking lol

[@tancreddehauteville764]

So much more interesting than the usual divers! This is an Omega with a Longines soul - wonderful!! Unfortunately the price makes it unaffordable for me unless I sell at least 7-8 of my watches, which I won't do, but I can dream.........

[@theurbangentry]

YESSSSSS!!! A refreshing change indeed! Thank you my friend, I am glad I am not alone there. Best regards, TGV

[@tonygiles1841]

What a great description!👍👍👍

[@watchnerds]

Or get the vintage one complete with patina

[@danielthompson803]

@@theurbangentry can you review one of the longines heritage collection as its price is much easier to justify.

[@davidb9531]

Do you own the Longines Sector bud, that clearly has the “Longines Soul” 😂 and surely don’t need to sell your collection, if you don’t own one already?

[@timbaker4879]

Stylish, elegant and cool, (Enough about TGV), Omega have knocked this Art Deco scorcher out of the park. And the real bonus is that you can actually buy one - for now.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Tim, flattery and kindness will get you very far in life. You are an absolute gent. Best regards, TGV

[@henkvandebeek7921]

What a spot on review. This channel just keeps smashing it out of the park! Fantastic video as ever TGV

[@Joe-xo3xy]

Thanks for your videos as always; The distance you go to educate and entertain is unappreciated, even by myself. Keep it coming TGV, thanks again.

[@spazz27]

Easily one of the best releases of the last few years, let alone this year… this watch lends itself to so much potential when considering flanker releases (like a 36mm or 37mm alternative), etc… hopefully this can almost grow into a new line of watches for Omega…

[@andrewstorm8240]

Flanker?

[@spazz27]

@@andrewstorm8240 by flanker I mean a watch that is similar to the first original release and “flanks” it in a lineup… providing an alternative but still related to the original… such as same watch but at 37mm, etc…

[@DeepDownRadio]

Nice work as always! Beautiful piece. Thanks for teaching us about it 😎

[@johnrighiniotis4088]

Well presented! To someone as old as I am (59), my engineering background, and a serious collection of watches, I have to say that its brilliant. Its the golden rule intersection between a casio g shock and a gold daydate president. To be worn on building sites, meeting rooms and fancy restaurants. Well done Omega and well done you on your presentation!

[@GuyVanderAa]

Finally a decent review of this wonderful watch. Should have known it would be from you TGV 👌 This Omega was the most refreshing release this year imo. I love the design and class this watch has. I own a CK2292 and this is a perfect reference to that style watch.

[@nuckbee6284]

Amazing watch and brilliant review. Intro blew my mind, kudos!

[@paulsutphin6703]

Excellent context and history-rich review, TGV- and what consistently sets your work so positively apart in a growing ocean of watch videos. Fully agree this one is an (unexpected) retro home run (hit for six ?) from Omega-and can foresee it living in my watch box next to my vintage pie pan Constellation! Molte grazie!

[@Ashfielder]

That’s beautiful, really captures the 1930s and 1940s elegant styling perfectly. My great uncle’s 1940-something Omega is still in the family and is a beautiful small seconds piece a lot like this. Also, it’s fantastic for Omega to be releasing something other than a ‘Limited’ Edition Speedmaster for once.

[@drnick40]

A terrific watch. Definitely part of my collection at some point in time. Thanks TGV!

[@THX-C]

This release was a pleasant surprise. Omega’s contribution to the war effort will never be forgotten. I wish they would release something sized like their 1960s Seamaster Deville line.

[@willibrord785]

Man that is some serious video editing in the beginning. Looks stunning!

[@youbeautwatchchannel4777]

Wow this intro with the mirror image is insane! The Art Deco feels are strong in this one. Great watch too, very much enjoyed this episode. You also seemed more excited about it than your last video I watched the one comparing new and old Explorer.

[@vincebrickner5529]

Great review love that intro music I can sit and listen to that all day.

[@ruanof7]

Great review, thanks.

[@32189djsddk]

Great video as always TGV!

[@DustandPiers]

A tremendous watch, and something I absolutely did not expect from Omega. So glad you covered it - this watch deserves more attention. But I'll hope it doesn't get any til I pick one up!

[@vicvictoras6071]

Such an elegant piece, you turn your wrist to see the time and you travel to a past, romantic era with more finesse. Bravo TGV you always make the difference to watch reviews and the others just following you...

[@djomanchester]

Super video. Love the style, music, content 👍

[@Nathan.Guthrie]

I don't often get exited when new watches get released but this one made me read the article I saw about it. Its such an understated offering from Omega, it wont sell well but the omega catalogue is much better for having this in it. If I didn't have the Stowa Marine Classic this would be pretty high on my list right now. For a brand steeped in history they don't often look back, aside from the naming. (Some may say thats a good thing) Sure there is the Speedmaster, Seamaster, Ploprof and museum ranges but there is soo much more out there in their back catalogue. Id be all up for a reissue of the 60s Seamaster with a manual wound calibre and some dark coloured dials similar to the Cartier tank dials from the other year.

[@diavalus]

I second, I also have a Stowa Marine Classic and now I am doubting if I should replace it with the Omega or have both.

[@BondUpNorth]

Love the soundtrack to this video. There is something special about this era, the music, the cars, the style !

[@christophergan71]

Thanks for making a video of one of my holy trinity of watches! Excellent.

[@grattof]

Beautiful watch. And as always, TGV, the best watch reviews on KZbin.

[@subeijekalo5884]

Makes me want to buy it and wear it with double button suit all day long 😊. I love the vintage vibe and I am glad Omega is pulling all these beautiful watch designs from their archives.

[@paulgraham1465]

Absolutely brilliant intro montage! 🙌

[@ryanmead3939]

Good evening tgv I hope that this finds you well; ahhhhh this piece really is a bit of me so understated and yet so classy yes please 💯 all the best my friend; regards Ryan.

[@HarryCollett]

Excited to see this video. I bought the solid gold vintage watch that inspired this one last year as an engagement watch. Really lovely.

[@jacobtaylor7506]

Have to say, I walked in a AD. Saw the Ck859 and another watch. Debated with myself and remembered your video. Bought it on the spot and the lady was surprised. Said it was too small for my size. Looked at her, said "It doesn't matter!"

[@theurbangentry]

👏👏👏👏 Nicely done Jacob, congrats and enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing that, it put a big smile on my face. Best regards, TGV

[@merkhet9328]

Was lucky enough to try one of these on at my AD a few weeks ago and it’s simply stunning. Omega have always been my family’s watch brand of choice at least from as far back as the fifties. Personally I have flirted with other more exotic brands, but more and more I find myself drawn back to the brand.

[@gavinluckyfq3609]

Fantastic intro TGV 👏 👌 and what a cracking piece 😲

[@kylepave5567]

Love this video and all your content! Just a beautiful watch, very jealous you picked up that “spitfire” years ago! Keep blessing the watch world

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Kyle, Best regards, TGV

[@josephpeppard561]

Hi Tristano, what a stunningly gorgeous watch that by the way looks great on your wrist. As one of my favorite luxury watch brands, I'm so glad to see these extremely well designed and beautiful new releases from Omega. It seems they have found their voice and design aesthetic yet again. Thanks so much for the great content.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Another excellent video my brother! This release from Omega is so underrated and I absolutely love it ❤️ I hope I get to see one in the metal.

[@henrywest7217]

A fantastic review of this eminently interesting piece. And a definite feather in the cap of Omega.

[@andreaiacolina]

Beautiful piece!

[@WNYfellow]

A very imaginative opening! You are 'delivering the goods' - aesthetically - for your viewers.

[@-chris-n-lucy]

You should have a television show on history or discovery. I could listen to you discussing history and style every day man. I don't comment often but you really put so much work into these videos and I really learn a ton every time. Thank you and keep up the great work. It is appreciated.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Chris, you are very kind. I am deeply flattered, but more importantly, pleased that you found it informative. Hearing that makes it all worth it. Best regards, TGV

[@MichaelG1986]

Absolutely gorgeous intro. You've outdone yourself.

[@NO-TRUCKS-GIVEN]

Great video TGV

[@river1duck]

Love the review TGV! Keep up the good work. Couple of weeks ago while I was getting the new 57 from my AD, I mentioned seeing the upcoming CK online. A week later my AD called to tell me he just got one in stock. Even though I was not in the market for a “dress” watch, he told me to come by to see it. Have to say, it gave me a bit of a Patek feel when I wore it. Which is very nice 👍 in my opinion. While I didn’t get it, I can see this being an everyday at the office watch.

[@kennethMblake]

TGV, thanks for the review. My wife Chantel actually caught me watching this review and beamed "that is a beautiful time piece", sat down and watched the review with me. The Art Deco influence is something she and I want to upgrade in our home and that watch is certainly a motivator (and a grail piece).

[@mattys1467]

As an Art Deco fan, I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful introduction. The Omega is stunning and a great antidote to the vulgarity of the Swatch collaboration.

[@kevinhawthorne5257]

Great Video!

[@JonathanLimWeeLeng]

Congratulations on the watch! I could not verbalise just why this watch looked so beautiful to me when I first saw it, your video was perfect in helping me understand why this watch is so special.

Why would you congratulate him?

[@oliverkorten6390]

Great video as always TGV. Love the context and history that you provide around the watches that you review. Always been a big fan of Art Deco myself. What do you think of the Sedna gold version of this for Beijing 2022?

[@mantyisbad]

Great review and beautiful watch!!!

[@red75v67]

What a watch. This thing is stunning. Thanks TGV

[@tatwood93]

Freaking awesome intro. That's why I keep coming back!!

[@merc7paul]

Forget you did a review on this, i got this watch and your review made me fall in love with it again😂❤

[@duncani3095]

The way you theme your intro's is always such a joy to watch. This timepiece is very classy, and surely one for more chique occasions. And to no surprise, the intro is perfect. No wonder you have attacted the attention in showbusiness, your style and effort are among the best on KZbin. Still lusting after the Fortis Bicompax chrono, its finishing and easthetics tick all my boxes. Pulling the trigger will be postoned somewhat, but for good reasons. Supporting my Ukrainian stepbrother defending his country has taken priority. Let's hope they win soon so they all can move onwards and upwards. ❤

[@puravmody]

Thank you for amazing video and all the work you do. Would love to hear your thoughts on the more affordable longines sector dial the heritage classic. Thank you again !

[@rebeccawarren2976]

A few weeks ago I did mention this Omega in your review of Dan Henry 1945. And here you are! Thank you very much for this review!

I saw this today and said that’s a watch for TGV to review, well look at that, great minds truly think alike. I think it’s cause our birthdays are a day apart haha. Looking forward to watching as always

[@omarmb1539]

love the intro , this my favorite relise of this year

[@shanephillips8735]

Certified pure class! Agree with you on the size for this type of watch, I have the Stowa marine 36 with the small seconds and it fits beautifully! I know a lot of people don't like the 36mm size judging by all the macho comments on Facebook groups, but if more people give it a proper try I'm sure they'd love it.

[@alexreina1167]

Your intros are from another century, awesome!

[@dchalkdc]

Very very nice piece, the second dial reminds me of a deco elevator floor indicator dial...which is a good thing. Great video intro too TGV!

[@paulkukula6541]

Love the Omega. I have 8 watches & my 1985 Omega (Dress) Seamaster(21st birthday present) is my favourite. On my 7-1/2’ wrist,this little 31mm Seamaster is a treat. Smallest of all my watches as I also love my Gshock & Edifice watches. Thanks for renewing my interest in watches in my late fifties. Cheers from Australia. Paul.

[@CoronaTheVirus]

007 goldeneye omg the nostalgia!!! Epic

[@everydaypatriot1083]

Stunning release. Good on ya, Omega.

[@franciscolopez8331]

Great video ! One of your best! Love the watch Can wait to try one This is pure classic I understand your preference for a smaller diameter but need to admit I don’t share it I think Omega put the spirit of the Art Deco style with a contemporary view of what the watch enthusiasts want to wear so 39mm was the right choice But that’s just my take Keep on the pristine good work and looking forward to your next video

[@lorenzomandrelli2168]

Such a good intro, congrats 👏

[@conradbo1]

Great watch. Very good and detailed review. My favorite part of the watch is the blue hands, they look amazing.

[@jaybee1196]

Great stuff

[@notyourgrandadswatch7705]

What a beautiful watch. It has a perfectly balanced dial and those blued hands are just stunning. I can't remeber ever seeing a watch with same ability to set the time so accurately, of course I am not as knowledgeable as most when it comes to movements so please excuse my lack there of. All in all this is a great looking time piece. Cheers and as always, great informative review.

[@niksoncutts]

I can't believe you mentioned Command and Conquer! That was literally the RTS game I grew up on, such a blast from the past!

[@americanlegendswatches]

Love me a small seconds manual wind watch and that view of the movement is just gorgeous. The dial reminds me a lot of the Dan Henry 1937, which would be a good alternative for those of us without 6k to spare!

[@tomsmith70]

Hello! An absolutely stunning watch I think. A beautiful addition to Omegas catalogue :)

[@Javi_C]

[@DaveMGmovies]

Great video as always TGV. I know exactly what you mean about new releases. But I have to say that into that underwhelming void microbrands are really raising their game. Monta, Astor + Banks, Direnzo, Tuseno and anOrdain to name but a few are making quality pieces now -- and if they had Omega on the dial we'd be paying three times as much for them. (Loving my Safari BTW).

[@andrpers14]

So happy with mine. Works with croc strap, other colors, nato. Whatever I throw at it

[@BJWGooner]

Incredible and absolutely gorgeous! I'm such a sucker for domed glass and Art deco. And a NYC shout out to the Chrysler Building!

[@johnsantilli6776]

Beautiful watch, just love it. I cherish my father’s 1963 Omega, cal. 611 36 mm mechanical watch. It’s my “birth year” watch… whenever Omega introduces a new, mid-century, style watch, I do my best to save up and buy it. This watch certainly fits the bill…

Sublime opening sir. Could almost imagine myself in a cocktail lounge in New York in the 30s drinking and listening to the piano 🎹. As you know I'm a huge fan of Art Deco myself. Gorgeous watch, great video as always many thanks

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Chris, I wish I was in that lounge too, that kinda music/setting and cocktails, my kind of place. You have great taste my friend, I struggle to think of a style better than Deco. Best regards, TGV

[@patrickjean-philippe7679]

The Art Deco period had always been my all time favorite since childhood. I enjoy its apparent simplicity, the superlative materials, its functionality over ostentation. Yet it is extremely expressive. This watch oozes understated discretion and class. That’s the way for the quiet gentlemen…
