Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra has always provided the perfect balance between sophistication and ocean spirit. In the new Master Chronometer collection, some of the most popular features have been enhanced or subtly transformed to give the timepiece an added edge of style and a refreshing new look.
The first notable change can be found in the Aqua Terra’s teak concept dial. Modelled after the decks of luxury yachts, it is one of the watch’s most defining features. For this collection, the teak pattern now runs horizontally, as opposed to vertically. The date window has been moved from 3 to 6 o’clock to add symmetry to the design and also in tribute to the design of the Automatic Seamaster Calendar from 1952 - the first Omega watch with a date window.
To maximise this idea of symmetry, the cases have been reshaped for a beautifully balanced look. If the dial appears cleaner and simpler, that’s because Omega has taken away the “water-resistance” wording and engraved it on the caseback instead. A new conical crown completes the makeover, inspired by the wave-edge design found on the caseback.
For now, three of the new models are presented. The first is a 41mm model made from stainless steel and 18K Sedna™ gold. It features a silvery dial with black hands and indexes as well as a black rubber strap, new to the Aqua Terra, which is aesthetically integrated into the design of the case by an 18K Sedna™ gold link.
