Another great video! I think of many brands Omega suffers from their watches looking 'ordinary' in photographs, but when you see them in the case and on the wrist they are fall-in-love beautiful. I say that as an absolutely self confessed Omega fan boy. Now all I need is that £5900...

In the aqua terra shades models, the smaller watch is more expensive because the hands, indecies, logo, and date window are 18k white gold. On the larger model they are rhodium plated steel. I would imagine this new range is the same.

nah. the sam AT in smaller size is also more expensive. Nothing to do with the gold elements. Gold parts would make the watch double price not a few hundred more. Check out the regular AT blue in 38 and 41. smaller is always little more expensive because people dont buy big watches anymore. 38mm is a much better standard size. I am a man with a normal wrist and i bought the 38mm as well. would never touch 41 unless is a diver or other purpose watch.

Great video Gringa. “Always see the watch in person!” Bought mine on sight. Purchased the Aqua Terra 38 when they first came out! Couldn’t be happier! This watch receives more complements and looks than any other in my collection (which includes PP, Rolex, JLC and others). It’s the perfect do anything summer watch. Beach to boardroom. Love the caseback! I also have an open caseback 300 vintage. So I can see the comparison.

A couple of months ago I was choosing between Summer Blue 41mm Aquaterra and 41mm Small Seconds Aquaterra in blue on rubber. And finally got the last one. Its blue is a step to grey compare to Summer Blue, seconds sub-dial makes the appearance brighter. I like that more. But Seamaster 300 (not 300M!) Summer Blue is a killer.

A tool watch featuring a closed caseback= no problem. It’s proper. I’ve got a couple watches with exceptional looking movements and even those, I rarely look at past the first two weeks if that. One is on a bracelet which makes it a little more difficult to see anyway. I wouldn’t begrudge someone for wanting a display back, but in truth there’s lots of watches with a movement on display and nothing to see. A well done engraved or molded caseback can be a very cool thing.
@Kinshasa92009 ай бұрын
Thanks for not begruding. My toolwatch is a Garmin Fenix 6 and I have a couple of G-Shocks as backups. Nothing mechanical can beat those watches, so if I'm spending thousands of dollars on jewelry, I want to see the movement (I'll give Seikos a pass since they're mostly affordable, but the Seiko LX line is complete BS.) For this reason, my fantasy watch is a Santos Dumont with a nicely finished movement on display; that dial is timelessly elegant yet handsome and the only thing holding it back from perfection is a display back. For the money, Omega movements are actually really good looking too, so they don't need to be embarrassed about it.

I understand the commend about wanting “more” for an anniversary edition, but I think they’ve done plenty to make these anniversary versions distinct. In 1998, they did the 50th Anniversary Seamaster GMT 2534.50.00, which added the GMT complication and bezel, but didn’t look all that different from the regular black SMP. I think this series goes way further in terms of making them visually distinct.

I love watches, but we’re talking £6000.00! It’s funny most things in life people can somewhat understand the value of money. But when it comes to watches suddenly £3000 is a bargain, and £6000.00 well it could be worse. Nothing against anyone by the way, just let’s take a step back and think £6000.00 for a watch. £6000.00! Sometimes I think people get drawn into things and suddenly what would have once been considered crazy, suddenly is the norm. And I just trying to help those on the fence £6000.00 is a-lot of money, for most people.
