      Jomashop has allot of new for $4500-$5500 shipped and $6150 shipped with diamonds!😁😁
      This is an awesome watch and size(38mm) but Omega is way to proud of the price. It should have micro adjustments for the price.

    I'd probably go with the sandstone or the green or blue, it's very enticing to go for the red or yellow but it's much harder to wear that in an everyday situation, and then the watch starts collecting dust as you're more likely to reach for your watches that are a bit more restrained.

    Really like these too! And I’m very glad Omega added that facetted metal frame to the date window. It was my only major gripe that they were initially introduced without it. As for color choice…that’s really tricky.
    Initially I thought my favorite was the saffron followed by the terracotta. But now I’m seeing the Atlantic blue and sandstone variations again, I can’t conclusively decide.
    I suppose I’ll have to see them in the metal before making a final choice. 38mm is just my perfect size watch as well! My current daily is a 38mm Seiko Alpinist ‘Ginza’ which I purchased a few years ago, and still love to this day.

    These AT’s look amazing! I’m not a huge fan of date complications for watches but I agree that framing the date window was an improvement. For any watch in that price range or above, there’s not really a good excuse for the bracelet to be lacking a quality on-the-fly adjustment. I really like those dial colors though!

    I love my Aqua Terra 41, so I’m glad you made a video exclusively for the new 38mm Shades lineup and focused so much on the dials. The Terra-cotta reminded me of the video you did with Kevin O’Leary. He mentioned putting a red strap on it of course, and I got an idea: you should create a red strap challenge - a nod to Mr. O’Leary. Select watches with dials that really pop with a red strap. Let’s see which ones get the most enhancement from this move. This could be done in a wide set of price ranges…

    The change to the date window is possibly a perfect retrofit. Usually when companies change things based on feedback, the result feels 'pasted on', as it was, quite literally, an afterthought from the original design. In this case (ahem) Omega really made it feel like it was supposed to be this way all along.

    These watches are near perfect for my liking. I’d prefer a bit lower alignment of the date window (centered on the same circle on which the hour indices are centered), micro adjustment of the bracelet, and a bit more power reserve.
    None of those are deal breakers obviously, but Omega should continuously improve these things in the coming years if you ask me.

    I think the date wheel is better off in white than color-matched to the dial. First, even at the same color it would be solid and would never fully match the sunburst dial, and second, it's standing in for the missing 6 o'clock marker, which should be silver and white (lume), so white background with silver frame is the perfect choice.

  • @LanguagesWithAndrew
    @LanguagesWithAndrew Рік тому +4

    Re. micro-adjustment: Teddy, the issue is not getting the watch perfectly sized *initially* , it's being able to adjust it throughout the day as your wrist swells and shrinks. I'm in Texas where, for 6 months out of the year, it is properly hot, meaning that when you go from an air conditioned vehicle/building to outside or vice-versa, you're experiencing a temperature change of around 20-40 degrees Fahrenheit. This inevitably causes your wrist to swell and shrink (and also eliminates leather straps as a possibility for most people).
    I refuse to buy a watch on a bracelet that does not have tool-free micro-adjustment at this point, I just won't do it.

    This is a great release for sure. Even with the date frame addition (an improvement), I don't understand why it took so long after announcement to start showing up at ADs/boutiques. I've been able to try some of these on at my local boutique and was really impressed, including with the comfort and finish of the bracelet. The lack of micro adjustment is definitely a complaint of mine when it comes to this line, and is one of the reasons I did not get the Railmaster, which wore beautifully on my 7.25" wrist. Even I really like the size of the 38.5mm ATs on wrist, so they can work with a wide range of sizes.

    Beautiful watch range. Adds a lot of youthful style to the Omega range that to be honest overall has a more old man watch feel to it that puts off younger buyers and even older buyers wanting something stylish but not the typical old mans watch look. Almost feels like they looked at Grand Seiko in some areas. Love it and might look at getting a green dial.

    Definitely nice watches that I think will be popular. The dials are beautiful and the colors should fit a lot of taste. I have the blue Globemaster and love it. So a few things I would have liked to seen on it and it would have kicked Rolex's behind. One the clasp you mentioned, two at least another .7 to 1 mm off the thickness for more symmetry for the 38 mm case, and three the 8900 movement. In my opinion one of the reasons Rolex has dominated is because of the symmetry of the case sizes in so far as width, thickness, and lugs. They have a athletic style but with a slim classic look. Nice watches non the less and those dials are sexy! Good job as usual Teddy!

    Would these bracelets work on other 38mm aquaterra models? If so, does anyone know where I could buy one?

      If the lug width is the same then it will work. You should go to an Omega store and ask them to order you a bracelet.

    Has Omega released the latest AQ 38's bracelet for the AQ 41mm?

    Love this watch. Were some of these used? Noticing a healthy amount of scratches on the macro shots.
