The Best Value Swiss Watch - Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Review (2503.50.00) 

I prefer this version over the new ones.

I recently picked up the 2503.33 and was blown away by the comfort. Most beautiful watch I’ve ever owned. Incredible value.

I have the next generation up from this in blue (with teak deck dial), but I've been looking at this for a nice black dial watch. It's just so clean and near perfect.

That is a real nice example you have right there. When I find one like that with the full set I'm going to snag that one up.

Love the model... and agree with you're assessment with the shape and size

This is really a fantastic watch. Since the current series is not available in 36 mm I will buy one of these!

Beautiful piece. Congratulations

Having this exact version since around 2007, I’m hooked forever. When its new version came out with vertical lines on dial, I asked myself why not horizontal which will look much better and finally it came, around 2017.

Good to see you’re making videos again. You took a long break

Just bought a 41.5 mm and got it for under $3k off eBay. Super stoked because I was thinking about the BB41 but already have the black Bay black and was wanting something different.

I have this exact watch. It's a 2009 model that I purchased in 2009. I believe it was discontinued that year. It is currently going through its second servicing right now after 7 years. You should be servicing it every 5-7 years.

I have always wanted a Rolex day date/ day just...but the first gen Aqua terra has replaced it on my wish list, I've watched and read alot of reviews of people who own this watch and they seem pretty happy with it..I've been saving a few bucks hear and there and I'm about to pull the trigger and own one my self, I'm veeeeery excited!

I like this Aqua Terra. Good looking watch.

Blue sunburst one here. 2503.80 auto 39 mm. Bought it full set 8 years ago under 2K preowned. That watch isn't going anywhere. Beautiful piece.

Thanks Mike, nice watch and very thorough video! Could you let us know where you buy watches as nice as yours? It is difficult to know which used watch reseller to trust. Thank you very much!

Bought the blue one (2503.80) for around $2k used in 2015. Still have it today. Saw these going for $4k+ these days? Super all round for a one watch collection. Custom made some proper alligator straps for dressy occasions. Looking for some new casual leather straps to spice it up and wear casual. Metal bracelet feels a little old.

I love the bracelet on this model with the omega logo clasp

If I didn't have a 39mm Explorer, I WOULD buy this watch. Love the lugs, dial hands and the low profile

This is by far way better than the current Aqua Terra. Going from a 20mm to 19mm lug width is ridiculous.

Im looking at getting one of these currently! Will it hold it's value well?

Great video. And, great looking watch. You're right, this watch is better looking than the current AT. Very elegant look. Classic design that will never become out-dated. Killer bracelet.

Will oyster bracelet fit on this?

Great watch. I have the blue 2503.80, the dial is stunning. Fits perfect on my 192mm wrist and the price was very reasonable, US$1800 and $450 service and $100 for a strap. Still looking for some links for the bracelet to make it fit.

The business 👌

I am awaiting to receive this watch this week. I was weighing whether to get this or the 36mm. I would’ve gone for the 36mm but it was 1K Eur more expensive and that was a deal breaker for me. Anyhow I can’t wait to sport it. My left wrist is ~1mm shy of 17cm and I do hope it’ll make a great fit to kickstart my one watch collection 😅

Awesome. perfectly proportioned watch to my eye. bracelet maybe needs more of a taper. But in person might be different

the times when Omega had reference number that made sense...

wrist size?

Perhaps someone could weigh in on my question. I currently have the next generation Aqua Terra skyfall 38.5mm, which is 13mm in thickness. I do find the watch too thick to wear for daily use. I quite like look of this first generation Aqua Terra, and thinking about seeking out a 36mm version of it which has an 11mm thickness. Would a difference of 2mm be much of a difference? I continue to hear the more simple and smaller case (thickness) on this first generation is more appealing from a comfort perspective.

butterfly clasps are a crime, I have to wear watches overly loose with them :(

What were the years of production of this reference?

I’ve been looking into these older models. My main reason... The new ones have polished mid links on the bracelet. I’d scratch it up a lot if I got one. My man concern with these though, is the lack of micro adjustment. Even with half links, I’m not sure I’d get a good fit on the bracelet.

Silver dial is a winner for AT 2500. 8500 maybe a better movement but having day window on the bottom just doesn’t feel’s right

I have the 36 mm one and it's the perfect watch.

You selling this?

whats the difference between this and the 2504.50?

Owned the 2003 version and sold it unfortunately Have tried many watches since then (3 years ago), and decided to buy it again next year This is just the perfect omega

The 2500 Seamasters were all superior to their successors. This is the finest example of the Aqua Terra - not least because it doesn't have the wave dial. It's a much cleaner aesthetic.

Omega I 🇨🇭🌍🇮🇶💪🙂👍روووووووووووعة

This old school Omega AT is perfection, the new design is inferior aesthetically IMO. Old AT is like Liz Taylor 1950s New AT is like Liz Taylor 1980s

Gen 1 aqua terra were so much nicer than the gen 2.
