Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m: Where elegance meets sportiness

Omega unveils the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m with black varnished dials.

When it comes to iconic timepieces, the Omega Seamaster stands tall in the upper echelons of watchmaking designs. This quintessential dive watch, born in the depths of 1948, has evolved into a family of like-minded watches, including the Diver 300 and the vibrant Aqua Terra Shades collection. Each of these timepieces carries its unique characteristics, but they all share a deep connection to the Omega Seamaster, a heritage that spans decades and continues to inspire. 

Simplicity meets sophistication as Omega unveiled the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m collection with a black varnished dial. Though black dials are one of the most common watch dial colours, this execution is Omega’s second-ever amongst the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m. While its horizontal teak dial counterpart gave the watch a sporty appearance, this iteration’s glossy appearance lends the watch a touch of elegance and sophistication. Alternating polished and brushed links on the integrated bracelet further enrich the look that takes one from the boardroom to vacation getaways. 

Elegance Meets Sporty in the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150mThe glossy execution is applied across the 41mm, 38mm, and 34mm Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m. Aesthetically speaking, nothing separates the 41mm and 38mm models, bar their obvious dimensional differences. Classic Seamaster touches such as the sharp triangular hour indices, outer minute track, and trapezoidal date aperture give a touch of familiarity.

The 34mm iteration bears a distinct difference with its sailboat-shaped hour indices and circular date aperture. Omitting the outer minute track gave the watch a greater element of elegance than its other two counterparts. Beyond the collection’s good looks, Omega ensures top-class performance, precision, and magnetic resistance with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 (41mm) and 8800 (38mm and 34mm) movement visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
