A Discussion around the Gloss Black Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra and why it is the Very Best and Worst of Modern Omega. From the variety of sizes to being simple, elegant & utilitarian. The New Micro-Adjust clasp system and the stunning jet black dial that'll offer a lot of versatility. This watch has it all but it also lacks the big innovations to elevate this piece to a higher standard.

The Blaqua Terra! So many great improvements with this new micro-collection (especially the clasp micro-adjust finally) What are your thoughts on this new range? That 38mm is going to be a winner... imagine it in Titanium?

The Terra Cotta was the one I have been eyeing, though the new summer blue is a contender. The Blaqua Terra though may be the one as it would be the most versatile

@mightymage27 3 дня назад

The micro adjust is horrendous. Maybe having a huge gap is all that can be done on this style of bracelet, but as a fellow engineer I think you are letting Omega off the hook rather easily on this point. I like to see you give a detailed review on the microadjust.

@dukes70 2 дня назад

That new extension is terrible! It leaves a big gap in between the links that looks atrocious!!! I wouldn’t take that bracelet if you gave me one for free. Pure laziness on Omega’s part. Definitely NOT the best of them!!!

@Valera_Scotland 3 дня назад

Just to add, my old first generation 39mm was 11mm thick, had the same glossy dial, a much more tooly mix of matte and polished finishes, gorgeous date window.. to be fair, the bracelet let it down a little bit, but apart from that - for a watch that's still around £2700, I would be tempted..... I do like this new one very much though

@achuck4321 3 дня назад

For me, an AT needs a teak dial. It elevates the watch through an “aspirational” narrative of enjoying it on one’s yacht. Omega also needs to innovate more as you mentioned. The 8800 and 8900 are amazing but becoming long in the tooth. The next leap is. Taking those movements, keeping the robustness, and increasing power reserve and making them thinner.

@miabeatz80 2 дня назад

Thinner without increasing the price????

@user-qt5xh9mt7x 2 дня назад

It's not the movement that makes the watch thick

@dannyg6592 3 дня назад

Kudos to Omega for finally giving us an adjustable clasp (takes them forever to catch up). I see this fully polished AT to be a competitor to a smooth bezel Datejust on an oyster. And the color dial ATs compete with the Stella dial OPs. But I don't see any ATs competing with an Explorer. BTW, the full polish is a deal breaker for me - I don't like polished bracelets, PCLs or fully polished cases. Too blingy, too dressy and they are all scratch magnets. Bring on the titanium ATs! Cheers to another great episode!

@markdickerson3486 3 дня назад

Exceptionally well done! I have two Aqua Terras - the "Skyfall" as it has been called, with the blue teak plank dial and then just a month ago I added the saffron Aqua Terra shades version. They are so alike yet so different, and both of them gets noticed by the enthusiast as well as the casual compliments from everyone else - NICE WATCH! The black dial is stunning, and I see your point in the area of "the next step" for Omega. Total fan boy here with 5 in all, but, your commentary is spot on. Thanks as always for insight and thought-provoking candor!!!

@BigFerg-hf6uv 2 дня назад

Omega Railmaster silver face on bracelet. The watch is entirely brushed. One of the best watches in Omega's line up. Amazing watch similar to the Aquà Terra but without all the blingy shine or date window.

@martintanz9098 3 дня назад

Indeed. My gen 1 AT is 39 mm with a glossy black dial. But for the date window at 3:00, you can’t really tell it apart from the current model.

@DeanoTXR53 3 дня назад

I see your point. But I think Omega still deserves criticism for being slow to react, or slow to understand how this watch should be a staple of this collection. It should be the constant. The color dials might come and go, but this watch should have always existed. So strange to me that they killed it off. When I look at this entire collection, past and present, it's the silver and black versions from more than a decade ago that make me want to spend my money on them

@mikemush9741 3 дня назад

Great video! I think you are the first to review this watch. My first impression was "oh that looks really clean." Then I was impressed that they made it in three sizes. I like the colored dials, but 38mm is too small for me. So I'm glad they made it in 41 also. But most importantly, I am shocked that Omega finally had the restraint to make it in one dial color. Historically they bring out 478 colors on day one. Bringing it out in one color makes it more special and allows them to bring out a new color next year.

@ID-Guy 3 дня назад

@clyde2801 3 дня назад

It used to be that when it came to altering watch designs, Rolex was steering the Titanic making slow gradual changes, while Omea was like following a drunk driver at 1 am and watching the weave all over the road. Omega is trying to be more like Rolex, but a necessary prerequisite is finding the right designs in the first place.

@ID-Guy 3 дня назад

Rancher, that "following drunk driver line" , brilliant 😆 It shows that they are taking the foot off the gas a bit (too often with their modern pieces they seem to add complexity for complexity's sake) and trying to streamline these. Quite an interesting direction... but with these inflated prices? Oof 🥃

@hobokenarts 3 дня назад

Wonderfully insightful as usual. Myself, I think it’s a step back. And you illustrate that in this video. My problem with the AquaTerra has been with its one arrow hand-get rid of it Omega…and a non-orienting 12 o’clock makes my eyes swim all over the dial. The Planet Ocean also has this problem when reading it in the dark…at least both its hands have arrowheads keeping the balance. One more nitpick is the floating date window…almost want to see a partial marker underneath it. Keep up the great work and thanks!

I own both an omega Seamaster 300 professional and speedmaster yet the aqua terra never speaks to me due to its pointed hour markers. However I can see why it has mass appeal. Cheers to another successful week ID Guy. You are my favorite RU-vidr whom I see once a week.😊

@stevens1041 3 дня назад

I've always wanted an Aqua Terra, for many years. But I always end up with different Omega models--Speedmaster, Planet Ocean, even Seamaster 300m Professional for a while. My favorite Omega is and always has been the Planet Ocean. The black dial with orange bezel model from the 2000s decade is the watch that brought me into this hobby. Aqua Terra is always an almost. This one you showed, for instance--its incredible in most respects, but I can't stand the date wheel.

@solverxd 3 дня назад

The full polished case and bracelet feels like such a noob trap. Looks marvellous in photos and under the lights of the boutique when you see it in store. Only later to realise its a fingerprint and scratch magnet. I'm sure its an intentional design decision to appeal to the masses.

@PanuTiihonen 3 дня назад

Back to its roots. The original AT didnt have the teak pattern way back when. The micro adjust also was first in the propably most underrated range of Omega, Constellation. Looks amazing though.

@al-knows-nothing 2 дня назад

Superb vid, as usual :) It’s very similar and a kind-of reissue of my 36mm 2518.50 quartz (and the automatic they released near that) which I love..moreso than this actually as mine is 36mm and doesn’t have the numbers around the minute track which is a pet peeve of mine on watches like this). I do like the date being in the centre-line on this though… Anyone in the market should _consider_ the neo-vintage model and save on the bucks. It’s kind of like buying a neo-vintage Datejust…

@markthespark25 2 дня назад

I think that the Teak variants are more unique relative to the Shades collection. Quite frankly I am a fan of a watch having its own design motif - the shark tooth indices coupled with the teak dial is iconic. When Omega transitioned to the Shades collection, to me it came across as too similar to an Oyster Perpetual. Rather than shifting its dial design, I would prefer that Omega released the AT in an updated 38/39 and 40/41 case with a thinner movement leading to a case height in the 11-12.5mm range. As for the bracelet, it should be given a proper clasp - I'm sure Swatch group has the capital given its Moonswatch success to invest in a new bracelet. In short, while nice, the new 38 ATs have lost their originality. Whether it is vertical or horizontal, to me the Teak motif was and is the AT's identity, and shifting away from that is ultimately a mistake.

@tuccobuibui 3 дня назад

As always, a briiiiiiiilliant exposé on this model. I fully fully agree with your analysis.

@nicholaszeppos9371 День назад

I don’t understand everyone’s obsession with watches needing to be brushed. The best part of these watches is there pretty well rounded u can get the beautiful polished shine but also the accents/durability of the brushed. Everyone hates on the buttery fly claps but it nice to have a watch with a different clasp system. I have three omegas aqua terra, Seamaster and speedmaster. I like each for different reason and because of their differences. To many people want everything to be the same and in the end nothing will have it’s own character or charm.

@salty5402 3 дня назад

It's an awesome update in terms of dials - and harks back to the ATs of the early 00s. While Iove Omega and this new model, I might go with the older, thinner quartz take on this type of dial on an AT.

@jerryglasses2229 3 дня назад

Im glad he pointed out the Railmaster. If you dont like the all polish get a black railmaster. I wanted a GADA. And went back and forth for a while with the AT. Since discontiuing the prices have plumeted on the railmaster. 2500 brand new. The railmaster doest photograph well but is amazing in person. More field watch than sport watch. Hands down the most underrated Omega of all time. Love field watches and have a ranger and alpinist. And may others over the years. The Railmaster is a clear winner.

@UltraDoug 3 дня назад

Reminds me of my GS SBGA467. Very similar overall style and black is underrated. This Omega ticks all the boxes for all the reasons you mentioned, Mr. Guy, and more. As I’m sure you’ve said, “simplicity is difficult. It leaves the watch nowhere to hide and everything needs to be perfect”……I dunno, maybe it was John Cleese who said it, but still true. You Britts are a clever bunch. 😉

@mkyhou1160 3 дня назад

Who needs the other 100 AT models now? Heck, there are almost more ATs than Rolex total catalogue. If they dump all the others, Omega will finally be on the right track. Quick adjust looks a bit cheap with the big gap it creates.

@Valera_Scotland 3 дня назад

Gorgeous. I've always liked these, as you know.... had the first generation 39mm and that was lovely, and 11mm thin too Saving a few grand and then will likely decide between Sinn 556i, Longines Spirit 37mm or something else. Likely to be in the 36-38mm range. My issue with modern omega is pretty much the simple price complaint.. for me at the moment the sweet spot is watches around £1000-2500 mark. I kind of feel wrong wearing anything more fancy or expensive if I'm too treat it as a daily As somebody said "find a watch that you wear, and one that doesn't wear YOU" so a watch that I'll be constantly worried about, and always aware of, will wear me.. I prefer a balance of tool / versatility / stress free So yes... I'm not sure about omega these days man I hope you're well

I own 5 Omegas, but not the Aqua Terra. First, the assymetric hands. Either put the arrow head on both hands or remove it entirely. The second problem is the pastel colors. I prefer the bolder colors like Rolex or the Citizen Tsuyosa dials. If Omega would make a green dial in 40/41 MM, I would ignore the mono arrow hand and buy it.

Ironically, this comes very close to the first ATs with cal.2500. Those are still the most graceful, with the best overall proportions. There was an AT Chrono back then too. The black dial was stunning under any light, really deep, liquid and glossy, all at the same time.

I like the Aqua Terra a lot, 38mm is such a nice size too. However, why are the smaller ladies models available with a quartz movement and not the 38mm? I'd love to see a gents sized HAQ Aqua Terra in a titanium case.

As an Omega guy I love the Aqua Terra. Have 2 of them.

My God that full titanium render❤️ But I’d remove the polish from the bracelet center links and put some on the case instead, like the World Timer AT, and maybe a power reserve indicator at the back🤔. Also like 35k less, thanks Omega😊

We also have to remember when Sir George Daniels went shopping for a suitor to his Co-axial escapement with the likes of Patek and Rolex; both companies turned him down. It was Omega that needed the innovation in which to bring them back from the brink of Quartz annihilation, that gave him a chance. George Daniels posthumously was given the title “Greatest Inventor in 250 years of Watchmaking”!

Rolex is more style over substance. Ever worn a modern Rolex submariner? Glidelock is effing terrible how you can get a thumb under the back of it and then the whole thing slips out to full expansion. Terrible design. But it allows the bracelet to fit in with the design of EasyLink clasps. Style over substance. Also the coaxal is 3.5hz instead of 4hz. Even though coaxial is more rugged and requires less servicing than swiss lever escapement, Rolex wanted people to see the smoother sweep of 4Hz vs coaxial 3.5hz. Again - style over substance.

I think dress watch when I see this, I t’s interesting that it has an adjustable clasp but when omega describes it as a comfort setting I’m imagining something that will be lacking adjustability. People seem to like buying shiny watches so it looks like that’s what will continue to be made but I love the idea of a titanium version with a good clasp. I

@dukes70 2 дня назад

Love the dial choice and new style bracelet but agree on why the need for an all polished case. Plus that micro adjust is horrible. It leaves a gap between the links that looks like a $50 watch. As a design guy I’m stunned to hear you say it’s brilliant!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ It’s a huge miss for them. Credit for trying but they missed badly where they could have put some effort into it. Who on that team looked at this and said “yes, this is it”? Also I don’t see this as competing with the Explorer, but more with the DateJust. Just when I thought I’d buy one, I’ll wait…again!

The way they lumed the hands bothers me but otherwise a fine watch.

@JamesAlexander14 День назад

I like it, very much, yes very, very much❤️. I have to say, I prefer a matt black dial. Provides better contrast with white hands.

2:38 The date window on the 38mm sits too high compared to the 41mm version and it really, really bothers me. It utterly ruins the 38mm for me.

@NicolasMiari 3 дня назад

btw I would totally buy this if I wasn't so convinced that black is really hard to combine with other colors in your attire. I still think I'll get the Shades Sandstone. Love the "presidential" style bracelet; such an improvement over the flat one in the 41 mm models...

I own an AT Teak Dial in 41 mm and it‘s my favorite watch in my collection although it‘s not the most expensive one by far. I’d buy this watch immediately if I hadn’t bought it yet - maybe even in this new monochrome version. Because its look is so brilliant and excellent. It doesn’t need any innovation (unless the new quick adjustment, which I appreciate a lot, but which I honestly did not miss yet due to the comfortable wear of the former bracelet). In my view the comparison of the AT to the Rolex Explorer isn‘t quite accurate. The explorer is an elegant field watch, the AT an elegant sport watch. Its elegance is more comparable to the Datejust on an oyster bracelet. And although the DJ is one of the most iconic watches at all I prefer the AT.

I own the Aqua Terra with the white dial and orange second hand. The only thing I don't like is the crown...the taper forms a "sharp" edge that digs into the fingers and makes it pretty uncomfortable to operate; it's unfortunate they didn't address that.

@ID-Guy 3 дня назад

Their "Muffin Crown" was an interesting choice to say the least 😆 You're not the first person to complain about how its difficult to operate (maybe that's why I want to hide the crown altogether on these pieces?) Haha! Thanks for sharing Dale 🥃
