I'm 35, and this will be the watch I buy and keep for the rest of my life.

I’ve tried the 38mm it today one at an AD, together with some Rolex, Tudor and Grand Seikos. This watch is in a league of its own, it’s impossible to perceive what I mean from the marketing material, it needs to be seen on your wrist. The level of detail, the shine on every surface, it’s such a sexy watch. I was really blown away by it. If I’m still obsessed in a couple of months I’ll treat myself to one.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Nice review on a true classic! I have been a fan of the Aqua Terra and owned a few over the years, this 38mm in my opinion is the perfect size. 😊😊😊

[@wadecarroll3572]

I'm really considering this a my first big luxury piece

[@guitarjamforu]

This watch is a banger! 100% better than Rolex DJ. Well done OMEGA!

[@davidr2802]

Sure, lower power reserve, weaker lume, inferior bracelet, changes design every 4 or 5 years and lower value retention. Sure 100% better than a DJ. Sounds like Trump math.

Finally, the watch I've been waiting for for years. My Explorer can go out the door..

[@JaxWatchesandEDC]

Just wish it had a better clasp

​@@OHJAJOH Of course nobody *needs* one of these, nobody made that claim here.

[@enriqueacosta1235]

Appears to be same clasp as the Railmaster which I don't like because it squares off at the bottom of my wrist. It doesn't conform.

[@thebestoffools]

I can't believe these go for CA$9000 here in Canada which is way too expensive considering a Datejust is only CA$450 more. Omega isn't the bargain it used to be over here. Still a beautiful watch. But I wouldn't pay that much for one.

[@Glenlivet1955]

The list price in C$ is $9,000, but I was quoted ~C$7,800 here in B.C. They just don't have them in stock!

[@alexsdg3441]

Timeless classic, elegant and sophisticated. However, another butterfly clasp. Is it some sort of unspoken rule that they have to use butterfly on this type of watches? Why can't they use something more practical clasp? I just wonder....

[@Area_man115]

Have you experienced a butterfly clasp popping open and the watch falling to the floor?

[@alexsdg3441]

@@Area_man115 popping open, Yes. falling to the floor, no. I have a square, fat hand 😁

[@iceberglounge]

Curious but what would you do with the clasp instead, not have butterfly?

[@alexsdg3441]

@@iceberglounge for a dress metal bracelet, butterfly is a kind of unspoken rule for the clasp. For me, it is just a personal choice to have on the fly adjustable clasp since my wrist size changes quite a bit depends on weather and time of the day.

[@MikeRochac]

I have a Tissot PRS 516 from back in 2006 (quartz) it still works perfectly and has a butterfly clasp which has never failed me, ı don’t use it daily anymore but did for about 10 years straight nd as I said before, the clasp never failed.

[@Tdawg0620]

Another classic

[@uncles2000]

I own the 41mm w/8900 (reason to get 41mm). Videos and press photos do not do it justice. It needs to be seen in person and tried on. Incredible GADA watch.

[@devisiveone]

If the case wasn't all polished I'd have one by now. Needs some brushed surfaces on the case.

[@TheThrill007]

I own the 41mm aqua terra and I am not gentle with my watches. The polished sections on the case are actually not as much of an issue as you think it would be. The problem is the bracelet. The polished middle links are huge and scratch easily. Mind you, mine has the flat link old style bracelet. But I don't think curved links are going to help that problem too much

[@siddhant46s54]

@@TheThrill007the thing is we’re not worried about the scratches, the bushed sides of the case and inside of the lugs bring out the beauty of those twisted lugs polished bevel running along the side like in the normal teak dial versions

[@macguyverson9370]

Sport watches are refreshing.

[@ComeOnPelican91]

I like the look of these on straps.

[@JaroslavJerryHyll]

I am really considering buying this watch but with Rubber Omega strap. But my wrist is 19.5 cm so probably 41mm watch.

[@ConstantineDenison]

38mm great!😊

[@1310marc]

I tried both of 38 and the 41 on. I have a pretty average wrist and the 41 sit pretty much perfect on my average size wrist. I would recommend a 38 unless you have a really small risk at least try the 41 on.

[@NicolasMiari]

In an age when dive watches are ubiquitous, an Aquaterra or similar is almost "a dress watch". I wouldn't wear one with a tuxedo, but it can go with any business suit.

[@daveschreiber2749]

Bond wore it with a suit just sayin

[@expertreviews1112]

Drawn to dive watches??? I love watches but I'm never excited about big dive watches... I'm happy with sports pieces or dress ones... and this one is a sports piece that I absolutely love

[@JCampbell91x]

This is more or a dress watch based on looks

[@igormoloko1]

It’s very loud due to all polished surfaces unlike previous iterations.

[@lamentate07]

The black dial is stunning in person and looks three dimensional, but the watch is too polished and 'blingy' just like the previous Shades releases. It completely changes the the whole concept of the AT.

[@bigidiot123]

Idk if I’m crazy but I’ve been seriously considering trading my Rolex OP for one of these. I really like the white teak dial version.

[@CymInUA]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is there no lume on the minute hand? I've reeled myself back in from watch buying for various reasons recently, but I'm a fan of the more 'normal/plain' sports watches like the Aquaterra - I have a Tudor Heritage Ranger and have always hankered after a Rolex Explorer. But the Aquaterra, I like very much indeed and if I was going to treat myself, that would be it.

[@Tdawg0620]

It’s on the arrow tip

[@1310marc]

I picked one up all the indices as well as the hands have lume

[@grahamwallace]

41mm is my grail watch. Maybe one day 🤤

[@michaelriera6277]

Rob, this Aqua Terra is tone the same price as the no-date Sub you used to own . Honestly.if given the choice which would you want on the wrist.

[@kiroD4]

Oméga devrait la sortir en cadran blanc du moins je l’espère. J’ai la version noire cadran tech 38MM et je la préfère à celle-ci car la mienne brille beaucoup moins et donc plus discrète.

[@lion5352-z1s]

How many watches do you have in your collection Rob ?

[@pannan80]

I really want a first gen quartz Aqua terra,unfortunately they cost twice what they should now.

[@JamesSnell-rc5xt]

Case height? C'mon, we need that too.

[@lx95020]

Come on white dial!!!

[@motaz1975]

not a fan of what they did with the bracelet at all.

[@FightGenius98]

Yea for $9000 CAD this butterfly clasp and the way they did the micro adjust is just unacceptable

[@richardlau2447]

Two points: I would like to see the face without date. Second, an inferior band.

[@iceberglounge]

In your opinion, what's wrong with the bracelet as designed?

[@OHJAJOH]

Cant you think for yourself? ​@@iceberglounge

[@iceberglounge]

@@OHJAJOH I can, just asking an opinion here

[@wheelsandwatches]

Sadly I think the AT is going on the wrong direction. Fully polished case, PCL, horrible cupcake shape crown, awful tool less extension system. Fundamentally for me it’s becoming too dressy and less sporty. I have an 8500 golf edition and I still think that is the sweet spot for the AT.

[@serifdincer208]

Stunning watch but to small for your wrist

[@MegaBlackley]

The AT is probably the best all around Omega. The 38 is too small for a man, and the polished links on the bracelet are off-putting, but that dial.... man, straight F'ing beautiful.

[@quantttum]

Too shiny for my taste
