Omega 2518.50 Aqua Terra Quartz 3 Month Review

As with all of my watches, this one did eventually go recently, but it was probably still the best watch overall that I've ever owned. So accurate, so easy and fun to use, and just always there.

Piece of advice, a video about watches isn't complete without wearing it!!

[@HH60gPaveHawk]

Interesting thought

[@w.m.aslam-author]

A wonderful timepiece and one I hope to wear one day. People who 'poo-poo' quartz don't know anything about watches. Thanks for sharing.

The seconds hand doesn't line up with the indices. That would drive me crazy

[@frankdelecate9579]

Really nice review man. Where can i get one of those really cool black straps? Could you help me out with a link please? Thx & cheers from Hamburg/Germany

[@yaaxarr8977]

Nice review and thinking to buy one of these bad boys. Do you know the reference for the modern longine thermocompensated module?

[@jaredcoffin3907]

0.1? How exactly is that measured?

[@HH60gPaveHawk]

The watch is set against the atomic clock and then compared either weekly or monthly. An average rate is back- calculated from the total difference.

Good review. I brought this watch last night and Picking it up tonight. I heard the accuracy is + 0.01 sec a day... But it's almost 20 years old... I guess the accuracy drops over time. Only I noticed is that the glass is very reflective and makes the hour hand hard to see.

Sadly I couldn’t get on with the poor lume and I sold it. I did have the part sourced and in my shopping cart, but never got around to finishing the order

Torn between the 39mm version and this one, what is your wrist size?

[@jordancavanaugh8521]

Hi Tadashi, fwiw I have the 36mm version (2518.80) and it's the perfect size for my 6.75" wrist

[@HH60gPaveHawk]

Sorry for the late reply on this, for some reason the first time I got notified was for Jordan’s response. I’ve got a 6.6” wrist

[@TadashiChoy]

​@@jordancavanaugh8521 @Yankee Rider i ended up getting the 36mm automatic version almost a year ago now, great size.

[@henkebengke]

Does it have a loud ticking noise? If you put your ear to the watch, can you hear the ticking sound? Btw, great looking watch!

[@HH60gPaveHawk]

No louder than a mechanical watch, but sure you can hear it. Thanks!

What is the leather watch brand ?

[@HH60gPaveHawk]

It’s a custom piece by a Slovakian leatherworker named Jan.

[@alexfrost8645]

@@HH60gPaveHawk how do you get one of these then ?

[@HH60gPaveHawk]

If you do a search in omegaforums you’ll find his listing, which gives you the instructions on how to contact him.
