The cool CK 859 model is back and pays tribute to the gold, silver and bronze medals.

For Paris 2024, this classic-looking, nicely-proportioned, historically-designed watch is back, with some major updates. Inspired by the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the best athletes of the competition, the new Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition incorporates all three materials into one dedicated model. The 39mm case, with a typical 1930s coin-edge shape – flat central case, raised flat bezel, slightly Calatrava-inspired – is here made of Omega’s exclusive Bronze Gold alloy. Made by adding 37.5% gold (thus hallmarked as 9k gold), as well as palladium and silver, it can be worn in direct contact with the skin and offers a soft pink hue. It is a stable alloy that won’t get verdigris oxidation (like classic bronze). Other than its material, the case retains the same proportions and design as the classic and now-gone CK 859 watch – 11.7mm thickness, 46.2mm lug to lug, and 30m water-resistance.

Hidden under the specific caseback, the Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold is powered by the in-house, hand-wound calibre 8926. Designed as a tribute to the emblematic calibre 30T that equipped the original 1939 reference CK 859, this movement incorporates all of the brand’s modern technologies. Featuring two barrels, it offers a comfortable 72-hour power reserve and runs at a 3.5Hz frequency. It is Master Chronometer certified, features a silicon balance spring, a co-axial escapement and is highly resistant to magnetic fields.

Released as a special, non-limited edition, the Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition is priced at EUR 13,200 or CHF 11,400.
