Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Watches omega watches guide
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer is a luxury timepiece that is really growing on me. While it’s always been a good watch that has seen a lot of popularity among Omega fans, this year represents a new high point for the Aqua Terra–and people are talking about it.omega watches guide What’s the reason, you ask? A very sharp yet modest redesign that wraps itself around Omega’s sensational in-house 8500 caliber movement.Let’s review the differences: The new 8500-equipped Omega Aqua Terra models–in the 41.5 or 38.5mm case sizes–are styled much like the older models, and both have angles and polishing commonalities with the legendary Speedmaster Professional chronograph. Polished and brushed surfaces converge nicely to create a watch that works well for nearly any situation. Still present is the elegant polished bezel ring, and the large, slightly curved sapphire crystal.
The biggest obvious change is to the dial; in place of the glossy or silvery rhodium dials, there is the so-called “Teck Concept”. Inspired by the wooden decks on premium quality boats, this pattern adds just the right amount of visual interest, without creating clutter or unnecessary frills. Beautifully crafted triangular hour markers and faceted hands in 18K gold with tips reminiscent of a chisel (white gold for the stainless steel models) brings yet more sublime points of interest to the new Omega Aqua Terra line.omega watches guide The quality of these components are absolutely top notch, and speak volumes about Omega’s rapid upwards progression as a luxury watch manufacture. Also worth mentioning, because it’s an answer to the requests of many Omegaphiles, is the improved bracelet–gone are the friction pins, and in their place are superior, stronger, and far more elegant screws; an nicely constructed triple-folding deployant with two opposing button releases keeps the fit comfortable and secure, as well as low profile.
