Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition

https://monochrome-watches.com/intro...d-specs-price/

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.

The Clous de Paris is a crowning touch as eponymous recognition of the venue.

Very nice. IMHO, best of Omega's Paris Olympic models (even if I'm not 100% convinced about the strap choice).

Nice looking Omega. I am not a fan of the 300m Olympic watch.

Seriously, these straps aren’t it, even though they keep trying.

Luckily easy fix on a beautiful watch!

Generally I agree about this, but have you tried this strap out before? I assume this is the same strap as the bronze gold 300M. If so, it is extremely comfortable. One of those forget you're wearing a watch type of straps. For a watch like this I think it's a good choice. But obviously, you can always change it out.

That´s a beautiful watch! I wish it was 37-38mm instead, but still a great look!

Not a fan. Too expensive for what it is and the metal looks a little off.

Meh, the steel one was better and no case back like that. The movement was actually nice to see in an industrial way. Unless I’m an Olympian or involved in the games in some material way, I just don’t want all that branding

I love the dial, I do not like the closed case back. I would like to see the movement.

Tried one on the other day. If I was looking for a dress watch I would consider it. The material looked lovely to my eyes. Strap comfortable as well but I do think those straps look a little plasticky.
I like the medal idea as a case back. Loads of other omegas with see through if that’s what you like.

I agree completely! And it's a shame that for the money one has to deal with a pin buckle. Not having a deployant clasp is a showstopper for me.

Outside of the caseback, this is a fantastic looking release. I am still very happy my steel version.

I tried this on a couple of days ago. Really beautiful watch, I just think it's a touch too big for a dressy piece.
