OMEGA Adds New Seamaster Aqua Terra Models In Green And Blue
The Seamaster Aqua Terra pays tribute to OMEGA’s maritime heritage. Now, this collection gets an extra colour upgrade with new dials in blue and green. The symmetrical 41 mm case is made of stainless steel, with a wave-edged design featured on the back. They are available from now with a stainless-steel bracelet or matching-coloured leather strap.
The blue or green dial is sun-brushed and is distinguished by a horizontal “teakwood” pattern which is inspired by the wooden decks of luxury sailboats. There is also a date window at 6 o’clock and rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova.
The new models Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41 mm are powered by the OMEGA Master Chronometer calibre 8900, resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gausses. It is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) and has a power reserve of 60 hours. The self-winding movement with Co-Axial escapement has a free sprung-balance with silicon balance spring, two barrels mounted in series and automatic winding in both directions.
All OMEGA timepieces have a 5-year warranty that covers the repair of any material or manufacturing defects. With a stainless-steel bracelet, both executions cost 5,300 euros each. With a matching leather-strap they come at 5,000 euros.
