The idea was to create an Aqua Terra designed to do anything without its presence being felt, the opposite of the big chunky Seamaster Planet Oceans. It had a bespoke hand-wound movement with all the standard Omega features but was made from titanium which kept the weight off. The entire thing (including the strap) weighed just 55 grams, under 2 ounces for our US readers. The biggest draw about this watch was the mass. The Aqua Terra UltraLight was a technical triumph by Omega, just one that wasn’t well-received by the fanbase or seems to have a particular impact as of yet. Here are our Top 5 Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watches.ĥ – Aqua Terra 150m Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm “UltraLight” ref. With that said, let’s look at what I consider one of Omega’s finest hours.

These are watches that can do daily life even if your life includes some roughhousing with your kids or going up the pub on a Friday night. It’s a happy medium I’ve referred to previously as Smart/Casual Sports Watches. It’s not a full-on sports watch (at least compared to the other Seamaster ranges), but it’s not Omega’s sole dress watch. One of those moments that’s done just right for me is the Seamaster Aqua Terra. It has its shining moments, but it’s better if you turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Expecting anything less than verbal pitchforks and torches from watch forums would be like watching Venom: Let There Be Carnage hoping to see a thoughtful, insightful, well-mannered movie about a regular guy struggling with a life that’s anything but normal. Omega’s taken a beating in the world of horology forums recently. This time, it’s one of Breitling’s main competitors: Omega. Our next Top 5 continues to look at watches from big-name brands. Can’t wait for the next installment (sic) of top watch lists“. I’m not even a big Breitling fan but it’s just dead interesting. So I was reading the comments on the Top 5 Breitling Watches article the other day when I came across this comment: “ I’m absolutely loving this list series.
