Omega

My first Omega. And I love it! A big thank you to all my friends and watch enthusiasts here on WatchProSite who encouraged me to acquire this Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer. As I already wrote in my previous thread this watch really stands out to m...  

Makes me want one

I think it would be a good decision. Cheers Thomas

. . . and Noumea. If not, perhaps you'll have the distinction of owning the first GMT to travel to every location on the dial I can think of no grander horological bucket list. ...  

I will make my travels. And I think I will start with ALASKA. 😁

I know, your taste is more towards white metal, which I usually prefer, too. But here I like to make an exception (like with the BP FF). The color combination of dial and case has really charm.

It’s the only way to (really) live.

As nice a World Timer as I have seen. Maybe a little big height-wise. Which might not matter given its diameter. Congratulations on getting this one.

And you are right. This watch has a certain height and presence. But I appreciate and prefer this to a flat watch case. This watch for sure exudes a certain robustness (which it actually in reality). I definitely appreciate that when traveling. And the ov... 

I also have looked at almost all alternatives (some only on the Internet, some also live). And the comparison made me sure. It's definitely the best watch for my needs.

mentally or in real time!!

Due to the COVID-restrictions in Austria but also my immense workload at the moment, it will remain imaginary trips for the time being. But hopefully that will change soon. Which is already certain: I have to smile every time I look at this … magical worl... 

Good looking watch from Omega. It would be interesting to hear how you get on with this one in the future. Enjoy !

Of course I'll keep you posted. Cheers Thomas

☺️

Cheers

And the solid gold folding clasp doesn't make the “overall work of art” any lighter either. But it also makes a significant contribution to wearing comfort. The watch sits really very comfortable on the wrist! ...  

of strap and folding clasp is also quite interesting and increases the wearing comfort. Do you know if this is a standard concept at Omega? ...  

Wear your watch in good health! Quite a piece!

I have never seen a version like this where the folding clasp lies between the two parts of the strap. Thanks a lot for this information! And for you nice wishes!! 🙏☺️

But I am for sure no Omega expert.

It was a pleasure to post my experiences and share my joy. 😊🙏

I was tempted by the nice centerpiece too, but the S/S version, only a little not confident on the watch size on my wrist. Looks great on you....Big Congratulations.

You should gain confidence and be brave: just try this watch again. I think it's a great offer from Omega. Cheers Thomas P.S.: OMeGa…. Hahahahaha. Excellent! P.P.S.: I stored your post “I asked a friend” in my smartphone and send it to my family and frien... 

steering away this AT Worldtime beauty. I'm speechless, and humbled by your kind words. Thank you. Enjoy this nice hobby, hope you travel the world safely, happily with love ones, and of course, this watch. Cheers!

Glad you stuck with it

I am also very happy that I did so. ...  

That’s really good service. Fits your eclectic collection quite well! Enjoy! 🙂

Yes, the service was definitely good. Thank you also for the attribute “eclectic”. ☺️ As a small watch collector, I definitely count myself among the “omnivores”, because I really consume a wide variety of types and styles of watches (and brands). I don't... 

And it’s always a good day when we figure out what we REALLY want.. which is what we see with this WT, your MR, etc. It’s inspiring really. Makes me question my choices, like what am i doing hankering for a sub? Hahaha! Seriously, i like the sub in spite ... 

For me it’s quite simple. VERY simple. Too simple? I just can't get enough satisfaction from just owning something that others badly want but can't easily get. In this case for my happiness I would always need others who admire or envy me. And if they wou... 

The best reason. The only reason.

And yes, I will do so. 🙏

Beautiful magnificent piece!

It’s really a special piece. ...  

The rest follow this week. Enjoy your honeymoon. What a great joy that world timer can give is countless. I thought about the one i want this morning, a wt in stainless steel, Sedna is to expensive. Not the only one, a Cartier Santos is keeping me busy. I... 

Your journey is very interesting for me and I am really curious how you will decide. The emotional criterion is for sure the best one to make your personal decision. The Omega WT is not a limited edition. So there is no pressure and you can keep your time... 

Thank u for the important information. Omega put the steel on their website on E8800. Holland, Austria, France etc the Euro countries. The inflation at this moment is increasing, so the price would go up. If there is a new quartz crisis coming? I hope not... 

(especially on the gray market) reminds me of the development of share prices where the share value mostly has nothing to do with the actual intrinsic value of a company. I wouldn't go so far in saying only buy watches that hold their value. I would say: ... 

and also the one that is least open to debate. 😉

It SHOULD be the only one. If it would always be so, many strange and also repulsive developments on the watch market would not take place at all.

Wish I had the wrist size to pull this one off but a little to large. The stainless version is pretty incredible as well in the flesh... Thanks for sharing and enjoy! -D-

I am or some more on the white metal site but in this case I had to make an exception. The whole color combination is mesmerizing. And yes, the steel version - especially with the steel bracelet - is also stunner. Have a nice day Thomas ...  

I really enjoy this piece. It has a nice wrist presence and also works very well for business. Please forgive the photo quality. The wrist shots we’re taken in a hurry between two meetings. Cheers Thomas ...  

It’s a watch that‘s easy to wear. But not as easy to photograph. In particular, the destinations written in very fine writing are difficult to capture sharply. ...  

Really impressed by Omega with this WT, and with many of their new models, including the speedy and aqua terra 41. Enjoy!

I am still wearing it (honeymoon phase is going on) and am also still impressed, too. Accuracy so far: +2 sec / day, which is not extremely good (my IWC Da Vinci PC Rattrapamte is about +1 sec/ day, my Blancpain FF seems to rununbelievable +/- 0,00 sec pe... 

COSC certified watches have a criteria of -4/+6 per day; METAS criteria has a 0/+5 secs per day. When comparing a Seiko 5 which has -35/+45 secs per day, to a Daytona with -2/+2 secs per day, and a Grand Seiko Spring Drive with +/-1 sec per day. 😆 (all cu... 

And as you mentioned this WT is a MASTER CHRONOMETER and has two certifications: METAS and COSC. Anyhow in the meantime I have become more relaxed when it comes to accuracy. For a long time I had been a real “accuracy freak”. It was extremely important to...
