    Major detail missed - Caliber 8900 (41mm version only) has a jumping hour hand in place of the quick-set date. Handy feature for frequent travelers that's also on the Globemaster. The downside is that Cal 8900 is thick AF, making this watch a chunker compared to earlier A-Ts. The Caliber 8800 in the 38mm version makes it a fair bit thinner, though it's still thick overall compared to pre co-axial Omegas.

    I love my white 38mm Aqua terra. I bought it preowned for half the price as new, at the time that used OPs were about the same price. Trying out both watches, it was clear that the AT offers much more for the money in terms of having a date, a nicer dial, and better resistance to magnetism. Great video, I you could have gone into more specs and even a side by side comparison . This felt a little like an AD to go to your website.

    You are definitely correct….. this is an unbelievable beautiful timepiece. I’ve had this exact watch for three years among other timepieces in my collection. Although, I love every single one in my collection, I wear this one the most. This Aqua Terra is underrated and quite frankly no one really talks about it. It makes it really special that not a lot of people having this one. The blue dial is really beautiful and the hour markers on the dial luminate in the dark. I can not say enough about this timepiece. It’s a “must have” in any collection.

But every time I throw it on my wrist, it will catch the light and I will wonder why I don't wear it more often. It is an amazing watch and hasn't lost a second over a solid couple weeks.

    Great watch overall. My main gripe with it is the clasp. There should be an option for clasp with micro adjustment. I tried all combinations of removing links and half-links but it is impossible to achieve comfortable fit with the stock one. Another minor gripe is that the omega logo on the crown never aligns nice. It is always sideways when you screw it down.

    While I still prefer the OP, I wouldn’t spend $10k+ on one. At retail, I’d rather have the OP than an AT even though the AT is technically better. The OP is thinner, smaller and I much prefer the design. I never liked the AT dial, it’s too thick (13mm+) and even the 38.5mm version wears closer to 40mm. Compare this to the 36mm OP that wears like a 38mm and is around 11mm thick but wears thinner. For me, I’d rather spend half the AT and get a Black Bay 36. That has most of the great qualities as the OP, a dial I prefer over the AT and is much cheaper. Sure the movement isn’t in house and the finishing isn’t as nice, but I much prefer it for myself.

    The Rolex is a great watch, but double the price of the AT to us mere mortals is crazy (this used but in as new condition). I have the green dial and love it, the dial is fantastic and the hands and indices are insanely reflective in the best possible way. It's a little large at 41mm, but then so is the OP, but it's also slender and wears superbly on my fairly average 6.75" wrist. Only slight complaint is the lack of micro adjust on the bracelet with the butterfly clasp and the fact Omega haven't released a green rubber to match it (black and blue are catered for though). The perfect GADA luxury watch imo.

    I wear my 41mm chrome dial/blue hand AT day and night. It fits every occasion from pool day to date night. It’s also keeping about 0.3 seconds fast per day on wrist and off. My only complaint is that the lume on the minutes hand can blend with the lume on the outer track at times, making it hard to pinpoint-but the lume is bright as hell all night, so a tiny imperfection on an otherwise awesome watch. My favorite aspects are the slightly (double) domed and flush crystal and how the case is not perfectly slab sided-you can’t see this in the videos, but it tapers inward a little from top to bottom. So many subtleties make this watch really fun to own! I got mine for $4,000 lightly used! And since I want a date window, I would want a Datejust, but I could buy 3 aqua Terra’s for the price of a comparable datejust 41 with money left over. If you’re on the fence, just buy the AT!

    The main draw of a Rolex vs an equivalent Omega is the lack of planned obsolescence. With a Rolex, you are assured of a watch that would look current even 20 years down the road. Omega however has put into place planned obsolescence and will drastically change the design every 5 years or so.

    Depends on how you look at it. Planned obsolescence also means more scarcity. If you want one that looks like x you need to buy used ones. Also means more evolution and less likely looking old fashioned and archaic. To me you buy a Rolex because it retains its value more and there’s enough people out there who will buy your watch solely for the brand name.

    Most Rolex designs look old fashioned, the font on the Submariner's bezel looks like it's stuck in the 1950s. Omega's do hold value well. The Seamaster Professional and Aqua Terra's from the previous generation cost the same on today's second hand market as they did when first released.

    I bought a new 41mm black aqua terra about a year or so ago, love it. Best watch I own, comfortable (got it on the rubber strap), lovely looking dial, great movement, power reserve is awesome, for me fits all scenarios, looks good with a shirt and tie or shorts and t-shirt and a display case back. I also managed to get about £800 pounds off rental price which was the cherry on the cake!! The only thing for me is the screw down crown is small for my fat fingers!! :)

    You missed out on the fact that the co-axial movement requires far less service and will last longer as the movement has far less friction wear than a traditional pallet fork movement. Rolex says 5 years, Omega ADs have told me 8-10 years is about right. That means less frequent service, which can be had for $550 for a full service by Omega, a massive cost difference from Rolex, plus they send you your old parts, something Rolex will never do. Rolex is expensive jewelry that tells time. Omega is an awesome time piece at a reasonable price.

    Yup; agreed! And I'd say the same thing for similar reasons of the SMP300 over the Sub, and the Speedy or even Speedy 38 over the Daytona. (And yeah, I own both Omegas, and would add I got both AD for less than the GM price of a Sub). Rolex though wears the crown on the President, and also the Datejust...both way beyond the Constellation imho. DeVille over Celleni but honestly Grand Seiko head and shoulders over both (and yeah, own GS). With Omega, the METAS is hard to beat, the dials and especially the ZrO2 dials under macros just look spectacular, the display backs, the co-axials with 10 year service intervals, etc., etc...

    I went shopping, I tried on few stainless steel Rolex such as submarina, then I came back home with Solid rose gold Aqua terra with annual calendar(still sealed) because it was almost the same price or even cheaper than the SS rolex that I tried on. (I paid 127000USD equivalent by exchange rate on that day) I think it's crazy considering it's a great watch and the gold material cost itself would worth a lot,probably around 8-9000USD) So I think it was a great buy of an underated watch for Non Rolex enthusiast like myself

    This is my daily driver. I am still smitten with after a month. This is what I got from it so far. It is a very good looking watch and very comfortable. I'll say the micro adjust doesnt bother me since I wear my watch loose. The thing I wish it had was better lume. It really not good at night. It helps with low light though. Water proof is great thing to have and not too chunky like dive watches. I have a dress watch and a G shock, but the AT can be my only watch.

    Err, but the aqua terra has a bracelet with neither micro adjustment or on the fly adjustment so the bracelet option is pointless for people that don’t want their watch to flop about loosely on the wrist. The omega also has too many polished surfaces making it look blingy. I would love some omega's but with poor bracelets and dismal clasps I don’t give them a second look. I really love the look of the railmaster but I’ve discounted it as the bracelet won’t work for me.
