The Most Versatile Omega Watch for Daily Wear: Aqua Terra Black Lacquer

Ultimate gada that wont have a single scratch : the price

Every watch brand is available on the market, but it's impossible to buy a Rolex. What are these guys' intentions? Mafia types, tacky low-class people have Rolexes, but a businessman like me doesn’t—why?

I wish there were either a no-date version or a cyclops lens over that date window. Small date windows, or even standard size date windows, are difficult to read for those with less than perfect vision.

Went into Teddy’s showroom to see the blue teak style and on comparing “in the steel”, I unexpectedly found the black lacquer to be my strong preference. Gorgeous watch.

TEddy let me tell you. this watch doesnt hold up to the quality and the "GADA"'ness of my Citizen Chronomaster AQ4080-52L... am i obsessed with this watch? yes.. is it technically awesome? yes.. magnificently finished? yes.. only thing lacking is the lack of Brand recognition.. but i also admit.. the aqua terra is a KILLER piece! handled it a couple of times.. but would love to own it one day!

Sadly Omega is almost same price as Rolex msrp and almost 50% off in the preown market..

what a beautiful watch!
hopefully I can afford it someday :)

Shhhhh, I'm about to buy one....don't drive the price up on me.

If only it wasn’t fully polished and the bracelet had micro adjust.

How the hell did you know Terry. I've been looking at buying this exact watch for the last couple weeks.

Got the Omega Swatch all white (Mission to the Moonphase) -- more accurate, less hassle, costs less and looks much better. Also looks way more cool. Don't agree? Ask young women.

A little more imagination in the bracelet please. Too boring.

I love the red dialed aqua terra

Nah the polished links kill its versatility

I own this Aquaterra (41mm) and I absolutely love it! One of the most beautiful and versatile watches out there.

Went to a boutique to narrow down my first luxury piece. At the top of it was the Rolex explorer, and when I saw this and put it on the AT fit and looked better than the explorer (at least for me, don’t come for me explorer fans lol). now deciding which size I’m going with I have a 7in wrist and could play both off luckily. Leaning 41

I agonized over the black lacquer AT and the white dial Speedmaster. While I love the clean look of this watch the all over polish knocked down its “GADA” quotient. Just too much … shine.

Its a beautiful watch that I would love to have in my collection. The next time I trust myself to go to the watch shop I will check it out in the metal.

My grail watch!🙏🏼

As it were…I tried this watch on today…gorgeous watch!

Bought my black lacquer AT in October 2024 and it is my go-to watch. It's beautiful.

in recent months this watch has been growing in me. i've been looking for one for a daily driver, personally I like the blue dial ones.

Oh-MEGA ❌ Oh-MAY-guh ✅

I'm waiting for the white-dial variant. This is because I agree with your final point: you really want to choose something that will work with most of what you wear. Well, I'm light-complexioned (white skin, blonde hair, blue eyes), and so I rarely wear dark colors and never black (I have absolutely no black clothing of any sort, darkest things I've got are blue jeans and navy trousers). I wear a lot of white, blue, red, and pastels. White works a lot better for me.

Although I think the watch is spot on, I chose the Seamaster 300 Co-Axial (old model) because it has more character, in my opinion.

Yes please. That’s just a great looking, understated, elegant watch.

I love the general approach and dimensions etc, particularly for the 38mm, I just don’t like the end of the minute hand.

The only Omega I’d buy

Quite often less is more! 👍😊

If they got rid of the outer AR coating I’d consider it.

I had multiple omegas over the years and they all disappointed me big time quality wise. It simply is not what you would expect from a top
Iuxury watch brand.

My next buy from Omega, really a well thought placement, versatil and stunningly beautiful.

What about an Aqua Terra with a white lacquer dial?

Hold up, that guy’s wrists are my size, and the 41 looked fine. But when I tried even the 38 it looked too big. What gives? I’m jealous! 😂

I just want a no date sport watch with the 8900 movement so I can change the hour hand so easily. I don't care about the date. Also if they could fit it into the 38mm models.

Can’t wait for them to give the 38mm blue teak dial version this bracelet treatment.

Its a beautiful watch, but the date wheel stands out too much. I would be more inclined to buy the older version, although I recognize that the new version has a nicer bracelet.

AT = yawn

Jack of all trades, master of none watch imho... and way overfinished, it gets scratched just looking at it.

Sorry, but I'd rather spend hundreds on a Chinese watch than on this Swiss watch that's worth thousands. The Miyota movements are regulated to one or two seconds per day, and the polish and brushing are just as good on the Chinese brands. They also have new, innovative designs of their own.

They need to release a less polished version of the same watch!

I've had this watch in the 41mm variant for almost a year.
What a watch it is, dress up or down it just quietly goes about its business yet somehow seems to get noticed.
Combined with a high quality movement and a lovely bracelet I don't think there is much on the market to compare even close to the price asked.
I'd buy it again in a second.

Could you do a video on silver dial watches ?

A lot would argue the Speedy is a very versatile Omega too.
Wears smaller than its sounds and is also a strap monster.
The lume on the AT needs boosting too, it's sub par.

Come on, that bracelet clasp gap when extended looks horrendous. How can people scoff this off given the price point of this watch?

I have the previous gen AT and wished Omega would release an extendable clasp that would be compatible with my bracelet, but this must be the laziest solution I’ve ever seen. Bleh

While I love this watch, I think it's insane that it's more expensive than the Rolex OP. (at retail)

I was debating between this Aqua Terra and the Rolex Explorer 40. Unfortunately didn’t care for the Aqua Terra as much as I thought I would. Too polished for my liking and the micro adjust system is sub par.

I have the 2500 series in quartz and I keep marvelling at how crazy the value is. This most recent blank lacquer dial is killer though. One of those rare perfect watches.

Improve the clasp and for god sakes slim it down and make it lighter

Hard to think of a better daily piece. Exceptional execution of the date window gives it a leg up on the Datejust, OP and Explorer I. Those have better bracelets, however. A future classic for sure.
