The AT’s instantly recognisable striped finish is still there, only now it’s horizontal rather than vertical – a decision Omega explained by saying it was intended to evoke yacht decking. The most obvious cosmetic changes have been applied to the dial.
I don’t have much personal experience on that front, but I had no issues with this one. Omega have flared it ever so slightly, giving it a more conical shape, simply to improve the ergonomics, which was apparently an issue on older versions. One change you might notice is the crown. It’s a combination of casual style and dressy finish that helps the Aqua Terra’s chameleon-factor.Īll models are offered in 38 or 41mm widths, a slight reduction from the previous generation, in line with changing tastes and sized to please pretty much everyone. The case of the Aqua Terra hasn’t changed too obviously - it’s still the same classic shape, with sporty, swooping, twisted lugs and polished surfaces aplenty. This year the collection levelled-up to Master Chronometer status and we thought we’d take this sparkly 41mm rubberclad model for a spin. Since it first surfaced in 2003, Omega’s Aqua Terra has been a versatile everyman: stylish and sartorial, but tough enough for the real world. Meanwhile my favourites from Omega for the time being is Planet Ocean 600m deep black GMT ref 215.92.46.22.01.001 (exiting active summer), and (still) the Trésor 432.53.40.21.02.The story in a second: The Aqua Terra recently received a major upgrade, and now we’re seeing Omega’s staple in a whole new light. Disregarding divers, that’s a void slot within the Omega Sphere, and after som house cleaning, Aqua Terra would a good place to make room for it. I have no knowledge of sales figures, but with the plethoria of variations, I assume Aqua Terra is a bread’n butter thing for Omega.Ī rugged version is actually a very good proposal. I would assume that for more complicated versions there are just as good or better alternatives elsewhere. Watchesswiss that the Aqua Terra universe is rather crowded, but again, that makes it possible to find a few that i belive are really good, and that’s some of the “standard/plain” ones with leather straps. Otherwise I easily buy into the idea of this one as a summer watch. The strap seems to be the weakest link as far as I’m concerned. Let Lex tell you everything else you need to know in the video and tag along on his journey to “embrace the beige”. But is the watch versatile and a lot of fun? You bet.īut that’s enough from me. Let’s say if you are a fashion-forward kind of person, you can give it a shot. Beach to boardroom? Well, maybe not quite. Is certified by METAS and housed in a 150m water-resistant case. Omega’s self-winding in-house Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 8916 offers the signature magnetism-resistance of over 15,000 gauss. That means the specs are as rock-solid as they get. It helps, of course, that this is still a Seamaster Aqua Terra at heart. I still feel that way about some versions, yet this beige specimen has managed to get my attention and change my mind. I was always a fan of the Seamaster Aqua Terra collection, so at first sight, that new dial layout seemed rather cluttered to me. Just like Lex, I wasn’t immediately won over by this new collection of Seamaster Aqua Terra watches with a small seconds sub-dial. Meet the beige Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Small Seconds. When that happens, it’s good to have a watch that balances classic styling and vitality perfectly. With such a strong presence, such a watch can grow tiresome before you know it. However, wearing a bright statement piece can also lose its luster quickly. I always get the urge around springtime to put some bright and colorful watches on my wrist. Our mood brightens, and the desire to reflect our upbeat demeanor comes with it. Spring and summer are just around the corner. Such is the case with the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Small Seconds 41 MM, ref. Timeless watches don’t have to be boring, no! They can even be fashionable.
