Hipsters don’t go to Starbucks. I know; I am one.

The two things you have to remember about the thickness of Omegas versus say, their Rolex counterparts. 1. A display caseback will always add around 1mm to the thickness and; 2. Their current base movement architecture of having twin mainspring barrels is going to take up more horizontal realestate on one layer of the movement, meaning that this will usually require an increase in verticality. But this twin barrel architecture certainly has its benefits - you get an increased power reserve without having to decrease the thickness and there robustness of each spring (Eg. Tudor, Rolex). Running them in parallel also means that as power is released, the movement maintains a much more consistent amplitude (and therefore accuracy) as the torque differential between the movement at full power reserve vs depleted power reserve is decreased. But as you stated, thinness is clearly not Omegas focus otherwise a very quick win would be to have no exhibition case back, like Rolex, but I much prefer to be able to see their beautiful movements.

@@TurnRiver Absolutely. Even if an Omega is the same thickness as a Tudor, the slab sided Tudor will always wear thicker. Omega always seems to aim for the “rule of thirds” - 1/3 for case back, 1/3 for the mid case and 1/3 for the top case and bezel. It really visually breaks up the height.

I love a ceramic bezel diver myself, but this is still a watch that I will get one day. Beautiful in its simplicity. Great watch and excellent review, thanks.

You hit the nail on the head: I owned an Aqua Terra before (the previous 8500 version) and it ended up not being worn much BECAUSE it was too "in the middle". I much prefer spending time on the opposite sides of the spectrum with sport and dress watches. But with that said, the AT is still my most recommended watch for those sane people who only want 1-2 watches in their life.

Agreed. But I'm starting to steer away from all of the major brands as they're starting to make their sports watches as glistening/shiny and sparkly as their dress watches. I'm leaning more towards a few lesser known brands (with products that give more utility/function whilst still looking nice) and I'm (surprisingly) quite enjoying my shift in watch preference.

I love your sense of humor!! Your right, a watch for everything means your other watches will be unloved!

Just came across your channel after looking for Monta videos. I can confidently say this is my new favourite watch channel! The voiceover and video style feels more like a minidocumentary series than video reviews. Oh there's a certain raw-ness to your script that doesn't feel whitewashed or 'trying to please the brands', making it come across more genuine. Or maybe I just like the sass thrown in throughout the video.

I owned a black version of this exact AT as well in the past, also on the rubber. And I can agree to all of your points! It's a damn versatile watch but imho it's way to thick what just bothered me long term. I also didn't feel the need to pull this off because I always had 'more fitting' timepieces for the day. I guess I'm just to deep into the hobby what makes such a great everyday watch like the AT obsolete. But my main concerns with the watch were the hard to grip crown (Omega is guilty of that on pretty much every Master Chronometer watch!) as well as the combination of plane hour and arrow minute hands. In total these are just little details but if you sum it up it was enough for me to finally sell the piece. But if these things are nothing you may complain about it's an awesome watch and definitely one of the best allrounders at this price point!

Got the AT with a blue dial a month or so ago, I do love it, but like everyone else I would also have wanted a microadjust feature.

You have said many great, hilalrious, interesting things on this channel in its entire history. And honestly, “because my brain is broken I have many watches” is one of the funniest and most “you” sentences that sou have even said on this channel. You never cease to amaze me with your videos. Kudos my man, you are amazing at what you do!

I hear ya on the whole I have other watches for occasions but those aqua terras are really nice

same strap they use for the AT Worldtimer, which is the main reason I bought my Worldtimer with the strap, not the bracelet. Most comfortable strap I've ever had on.

I agree 100% with all your stated benefits and flaws of the watch. If I had to get rid of every watch in my collection except for one, I'd keep the AT. More lume, a thinner case, and microadjust on the metal bracelet (mine's on the rubber strap so less important) would make this the king of the 'one watch collection' genre of watches in my opinion.

I went in to buy a Planet Ocean, and walked out with the AT. Every facet of the indices is beveled so it catches the light, and the whole dial just sparkles with seemingly no crystal at all. I was dismissive of the rubber strap but it just looks and feels so natural. I didn't take it off for a month after I got it. It was my first Omega, and now I have that Planet Ocean on their black & orange striped NATO and this, and I have a hard time deciding which one to wear. Also, I financed the AT at 10% off and 18 months No Interest.

I love the looks of these... just wish the great diver clasp w/macro-adj was an option as a bracelet for these. That weird butterfly clasp SUX for a watch like this when they already have a very nice clasp available on many of their divers. Probably why I keep looking at these watches but never buying one. I want a White dialed Milguass so bad it's crazy... but crazy is what the prices are on those and I'll likely never own one.
