Aqua Terra Incoming

Latest addition.

I've maintained the Aqua Terra is not only Omegas best looking watch but possibly the best looking watch in modern mass-produced watchmaking. To me, it's perfect.

I've owned the grey dial but the opaline has a certain something that makes it sporty and classic at the same time

Congrats, that is nice. I have to agree that my next Omega will be the AT. I prefer the blue dial, but yours is right up there as well.

Awesome pickup. I agree with your thoughts as far as looks, only difference to me is it would have to be the blue dial

I own a blue dial AT and am a big fan. The opaline dial would be my second choice. Congrats on a great choice.

All of the ATs are gorgeous. The new one with the orange second hand is very nice

Congrats! I have one with the teak dial. I love it and actually have been toying with the idea of putting it on a strap as 3 of my 4 watches have metal bands.

Congrats! I have the blue mid-size. I agree with you, AT is one of the best modern Omega designs, imo.

I have been looking at this model for quite awhile and as someone who has been critical of Omega in the past I really must agree with you. It is about as perfect looking a watch as one can find for its price. and congratulations!

Congrats, on picking up a great and extremely versatile piece. I bought the 41.5mm 8500 Grey when my second daughter was born. It's a very sentimental piece to me and I wear it on most special occasions. I also wear it during meetings for work, as it's my goto dress watch. All of the dials are nice in their own way as you said, and all of them can be worn down or dressed up. Enjoy it for a long time...
