Omega's annual calendars are my favorites, too . . .
. . . and I came close to acquiring a SM Aqua Terra when it was introduced a dozen years ago.

I would've gone for the two-tone red gold / steel version on a strap. As it happens my attention was drawn elsewhere so the Annual never entered my collection. As a retiree now the last complication I need is a perpetual (or annual) calendar so my interests have changed accordingly. But if a compact AT Annual popped up at a local boutique I'd still be sorely tempted.

Brought one out from hiding. I think it’s elegant.
What I really love about it is the rose indexes and hands on a white gold case. The lines on the black dial give it some formality. Feels great on the wrist; heavy. Enjoy! An oldie but a goodie! ...
There seems to be a problem with
the mobile website. It posts all the photos sideways. They are upright photos. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s a glitch of some sort. Just started happening. Sorry.
I like my Aqua Terra way more than I ever expected when I picked it up almost on a whim
Mine’s just a steel quartz and not precious metal but the look is consistent, even with the day in front of the date (which I also like). What reference and size is that one?
That model would have been great as a day date
I think it has an annual calendar complication. I rarely forget which h month it is but day or date can sometimes be a challenge, a month date display doesn't make sense to me without the day. Lovely otherwise.
It's not only an annual calendar . . .
. . . but has an instantaneous changeover as well. That's special.

The model in my photos is solid yellow gold . . .
. . . which ain't half-bad, either. 😉
This is the Aqua Terra . . .
. . . that pulls at my heartstrings: Compact 38.5 mm steel case with red gold bezel, dial furniture, and crown. List was > $13K; I've seen them private party for less than half that. Problem is it's a model I'd only get from a boutique (or dealer) with a ...
That is one heavy-duty monster . . .
. . . of an Omega, Ed. [photo credit: Dr No, 2012] My photo but not my wrist . . . a boutique associate served as wrist model that day. Never knew you had this one 'til now . . . if you still have it when I move to your neighborhood it would be a pleasure...
