This brand new line in the Seamaster Collection features an eye-catching design and Omega’s breakthrough technology. Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watches are created to satisfy modern men who want to be stylish and distinctive at the same time.
Distinction comes with the “Teak Concept” – an aesthetically designed dial, with a unique vertical pattern, inspired by the wooden decks on luxury boats. This beautiful face gives the Aqua Terra an advantage over similar hi-quality models (read our reviews of the Rolex Datejust and the Grand Seiko). Raised hour markers with elegant finishes, a minute track that runs over the outer rim, a nicely framed date window at the 3 o’clock position and beautify shaped rhodium-plated hands complete this design masterpiece. White Super-LumiNova coating provides excellent readability.
Earlier Aqua Terra timepieces were powered by the Caliber 2500, which is a modified version of the ETA 2892. New models bring that extra quality by housing the exclusive Omega Co-axial Caliber 8500/8501. A few years after it had been presented for the first time with De Ville Hour Vision watch, as the revolutionary in-house mechanism, this self-winding movement entered the Seamaster Collection.
Its Co-axial escapement provides great stability, accuracy and endurance. It also incorporates a free sprung balance, a balance bridge, a shock absorber and two barrels that increase its power reserve to 60 hours. The highest quality of this mechanism is confirmed with the C.O.S.C. Chronometer certification.
Seven Stylish Variations
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer has a 41.5 mm case, made of either stainless steel (four variations), or red gold (three variations). In either way, the case features an amazing mixture of polished surfaces and brushed finishes, which gives it a nice stylish look. Depending on a variation, the watch matches an elegant leather strap, or a steel or gold bracelet.
Our choice would definitely be the model 231.13.42.21.06.001 which comes with a steel case, a teak-grey dial and a black leather strap. This beautiful timepiece, with an everlasting elegance is available for around $3,500.
For those who like more luxurious watches, Omega created the Aqua Terra 231.20.42.21.06.001 which presents an aesthetic blend of steel and gold, which is more common for Rolex than for Omega. Hour markers, watch hands and the frame of a date window are also made of gold. You can buy this glamorous piece that comes with the teak-grey dial, for around $6,200.
If you want to spend even more, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer 231.50.42.21.06.001 is waiting for you. You need to pay a little over 20,000 dollars, and this hi-luxury timepiece that features a red gold case and bracelet will become a part of your collection.
A teak-opaline silver dial is also a choice in a combination with a stainless steel case and either a brown leather bracelet (231.13.42.21.02.001), or a steel bracelet (231.10.42.21.02.001). All Aqua Terras are protected with domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystals with anti-reflective treatments and have superb water-resistance up to 250 meters (600 feet). As their names suggest, these astonishing watches are equally attractive and functional on land as they are in water.
The model 231.13.42.21.06.001 which is with a steel case, a teak-gray dial and a black leather strap looks very nice. I love elegant and modern watches with round shape. This is my favorite watch.
I agree with Jordan that the model with a steel case, teak-gray dial and a black leather strap looks very nice but the price is high for my budget
It doesn’t looks aggressive. It’s very simple and at the same time very elegant.
Wow! The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer is the most beautiful model in Seamaster collection. I am a big fans of red gold. I like combination of red gold and black dial. This is great watch!
Everybody asks me why I like Omega watches. Honestly, I don`t have the right answer, I just tell them to visit this site and to look one of the great Omega watches and they will know the answer to their question. The design of this watch is amazing, I like it very much. It reminds me of my last Seiko watch, but this one is much better.
I like the watches such as the model 231.13.42.21.06.001. The leather strap is the best, definitely! I intend to order that model. I had a Hector watch which was similar to this one, but I think that this Omega is definitely the better brand and their watch is much better, no doubt.
I don`t like Omega watches at all. For me, the only true watch is Rolex. They are the kings of the watches and they will always be that! Believe me, don`t buy this watches, buy a Rolex watch and you won’t regret it. I had a lot of watches in my life, Tag Heuer, Movado, Bulova, Tissot…. but none of them was as good as Rolex.
This watch is full of quality features. The most important part of this watch is its movement. It’s so precise and reliable and, most of all, it provide a power reserve of 60 hours. That’s incredible! Besides, there is also water resistance of 250 meters, and that’s cool too. I would like to have this watch, it would be a a right choice, that’s for sure!
You’re right, Domenic, this watch has many features which are great. I like the model with the referent number 231.53.42.21.06.001, because I’m a fan of leather straps on watches. And in this case, the brown leather strap looks perfect in combination with a red gold transparent case of the watch. That’s the winning combination, no doubt!
I’ve read some good comments about this watch on some other web sites. I got the impression that this watch is excellent. And I was right. It was March, when I decided to buy this watch. I bought it for a decent amount of money, and I was happy because of that. Until than, every day of my life was filled with positive energy and happiness.
