I purchased the champagne 36, last week and could not be happier. The dial is fantastic. Once in a while it pops of silver. Champagne color comes to life under lower lights like when at a bar or restaurant at night. This watch subtly shouts quality and class.
Omega finishing is next level. So you pay for what you get. Dimenions both are perfect. Micro adj on Tudor bracelet is great. That said omega did a great job with the bracelet of aquaterra shades . It is very comfortable even without a micro adjustment. I tried blue Black bay 36 and omega shades several times and finally choose omega as it fits perfect with rest of my collection.
Does "everything" include thickness, legibility and lume ? The Omega has a better mechanism but it's not a better watch and it's definitely not worth 2 of those Tudors.
Same. I was in between these two and went to an AD to try both on. The Aqua Terra looks sooooo much better in person that it’s not even a fair comparison. It’s on a whole other Level than the Tudor tbh. Even the bracelet looks much better on the Omega. Tudor has just one advantage and thats the micro adjustment.
I'm interested in both of these watches and have tried both on (though not in these colors). Both are appealing. The Omega, as you show, is more substantial, finished to a higher standard, and has a more conservative look. I like being able to see the movement through the back. The Tudor is sportier, playful even, despite the absence of the curved "smile text" of the previous generation. I'd really like to see the Omega in Saffron-do you think you'll have a chance to show us that one?
On the fly bracelet adjustment is a must for me. My wrist changes size a lot during the day especially in hot weather. The AT will always be a pass for me because of that. The new BB36 is nice, but a little boring to me. Also a little too close to a Datejust rip off now. I’d go with a newer Tudor diver with a T-Fit clasp over both of these, though not really the same thing.
@@HRM.H And the current range of Kinessi Tudors is pretty good : but both these watches will have their fans and detractors. Having said that Tudor and Rolex bracelets are leading the industry at the moment. 🙂
Really nice comparison. The minute hand on the Tudor makes it look more old style, almost like the end of the 1970s, and at least in the quick lume shot shines brighter. It's very nice. The Omega looks more expensive, shinier, more polished and has the Co-axial movement. I guess you get what you pay for.
Great comparison and overall the Tudor is the best option IMO. Hard to beat the bracelet of the Tudor with the micro-adjust. Not sure why the aqua terra costs so much, and more than even a SM 300 Pro.
The best value is 1st generation Aqua terra. It comes in either 36mm or 39mm. It can have a silver dial like this. It is 10mm thick so thinner than the new aqua terra because it uses the 2500 co-axial movement. It is matte finished not polished which I prefer. You can get one for $2,000 if you are a savvy watch enthusiast which is a much better value than either of these two watches. I have a black dial reference 2504.50. Buying these new models is for non-enthusiasts and casual watch wearers and they will pay the extra money. An enthusiast will be able to find the better value first generation Aqua Terra.
Plus i really enjoy the “teak” dial on my older version. Like u said…secondary market. Bought another 39mm in light great dial and quartz movement. Still less than brand new gen.
Not a fan of the Tudor's indicators and hands on such an elegant color scheme/polish; they scream "diver watch" a bit too much IMO. Omega dial wins hands down.
Wow great review.I like the Omega but overall the Tudor wins.This Tudor watch doesn't get anywhere near the love it should get in the Tudor line up and if you buy it in the silver dial it can be your only watch that you wear everyday.
hello brad! do you think you could do a side comparison between the bb36 and a bb54 ? im really into these two watches and only have the budget for one of them, im really torn between the bb36 and the bb54 and want to see the size diff and the bezel vs fixed bezel look, thanks
This was a great compare and contrast, as I'm sure some in the market have been thinking about it already. I love the Co-Axial movement in Omega, but I can't get over how much more masculine the BB looks with its sharper lines on case and bracelet, and the blockiness of its hands and indices. And then that $2700+ price diff.... ouch! When they look to be about the same finish quality on camera 🤷. But then again...that co-axial movement 🥰
Omega, baby! Looks a million bucks. BTW, on-the-fly adjustable bracelets are so frikin over rated. In my more than a decade of collecting and hundreds of luxury watches, I barely ever use the feature and never miss it on my watches without it.
Nice one Brad: aesthetically the Omega just wins for me. But: the Tudor also looks great, has better lume and has a much better bracelet. It's also considerably cheaper and you could buy a Seiko ProSpex or Presage model with the change. But: I do love a display case back and a date window is a functional advantage. I'd probably buy the Tudor and wish that I'd bought the Omega in the first place. Or maybe I'd learn from my mistake in the making and buy a Rolex OP 36 silver dial instead. And imagine: I used to be decisive... 😢
And thinking of movements, doesn't this AT also have the twin barrel that adds some power preserve, but it's still less than the BB? And yes I know I'm not normal, I like the polished links on bracelets ☺️
These watches play in two different tiers. A datejust or Explorer would be a better comparison. Omega is the better built watch. But i would prefer the Tudor. I have a new Tudor BB 41 grey dial and its a perfect GADA watch. I had a few Aqua Terras, actually several of them. No quick adjust is a deal breaker for me living in Florida. I have a IWC XX i just picked up and the quick adjust on IWC is the best in the biz. Omega still doesn't have one for the Aqua Terra is maddening when they know their competition have them, and their customers want them.
As an aside, I note that the dinky, cute Aqua Terra is more expensive than the 41mm garden fence variety with it's (for me, anyway) much more useful movement. Just saying... 😊
Easy to choose....the Tudor for sure. Micro adjustments bracelet Tfit, not and the Omega. Who cares today about a date on the dial 10% of the users and Omega price is more or less double of the Tudor watch with 15hours less on power reserve....it's en evidence the Tudor won.
Omega all day especially when jomashop has them in the 5k range, 1000-1500 more for better movement bracelet and overall design. No brainer no shade to the Tudor (see what I did there) but I love the Tudor as well
Omega alllllll day bro come on, Tudor is at a better price point if budget is more important so it’s a comp but I’d have to save a little more for the omega
I purchased the champagne 36, last week and could not be happier.
The dial is fantastic. Once in a while it pops of silver. Champagne color comes to life under lower lights like when at a bar or restaurant at night. This watch subtly shouts quality and class.
Congrats, enjoy wearing it!
Love that you're giving the measurement across the dial! Underrated dimension that helps on these models with a narrow bezel.
The Omega crushed it 👍

I have this Tudor (in 41). It’s amazing, slimmer than the AT, better second hand sweep, and better bracelet with T-fit. Cheaper too.
Nice comparison. For me everything but the clasp and price points to the Omega.. it's just gorgeous
Does "everything" include thickness, legibility and lume ?
The Omega has a better mechanism but it's not a better watch and it's definitely not worth 2 of those Tudors.
Thinkig about getting the Omega. Looks amazing irl

Definitely the Omega 🤩
Just picked up the AT in Summer Blue… loverly
Congrats, enjoy wearing it!
The Omega really stands out here.
That Tudor just speaks to me. Gotta have one!!
No doubt... Omega >... Co axial mouvment, details are the best !
Low beat and modest power reserve 😬
What a great video, this is the exact side by side I was looking for. Thank you.
Thanks for viewing, hope it helped!

Good call, Mr Winding. 😊
The omega lacks quick adjust but costs nearly double... no thanks
@@HRM.H And the current range of Kinessi Tudors is pretty good : but both these watches will have their fans and detractors. Having said that Tudor and Rolex bracelets are leading the industry at the moment. 🙂
Omega needs to drop the polished center links, and get a deployment clasp with on the fly microadjust. That butterfly clasp is awful.
Seriously genius comment and I hope they are listening
Omega, thank you !
Close one for me, price considered I would go with the Tudor BB36
I like them both but Tudor for me
Got the tudor 39, but a blue aqua terra is close on the acquisition list
I like the more compact and lighter Tudor with better power reserve and clasp but it doesn’t have a date.
Really nice comparison. The minute hand on the Tudor makes it look more old style, almost like the end of the 1970s, and at least in the quick lume shot shines brighter. It's very nice. The Omega looks more expensive, shinier, more polished and has the Co-axial movement. I guess you get what you pay for.
There is no comparison, that Omega is on a higher level and super hot.
Omega 4 sure
Tudor all day.. looks so much better on wrist
Tudor, in Quality no much difference, but in price it is, both loom great, but tudor is more affordable
I’d take the champagne-dialed Spring Drive Grand Seiko.

Omega dial wins hands down.
I thought the same thing the minute I saw Tudor, the dial markers are totally dive watch.
Omega for me
I don’t understand why Omega insists on using a butterfly clasp on a sports watch.
Just pathetic.
Wow great review.I like the Omega but overall the Tudor wins.This Tudor watch doesn't get anywhere near the love it should get in the Tudor line up and if you buy it in the silver dial it can be your only watch that you wear everyday.

The next time we have both in the store I'll see what I can do!
Slight edge to the Omega - simply because I like the larger watch. 36 too small for my wrist. But both really lovely watches.
you can get the tudor in various sizes
Tudor has the same watch in 39mm. I have that with the Anthracite and gilt dial and it’s great
This was a great compare and contrast, as I'm sure some in the market have been thinking about it already.

Omega comes off too shiny for me

The Aqua Terra is PRICEY!!! Well, not that I can afford the Black Bay either :P
Both are beautiful.

And imagine: I used to be decisive... 😢
There is always another one waiting for us around the corner!
Could buy a pre-owned Grand Seiko with the money you save by picking the Tudor.
@@HRM.H Now that's a thought!
And thinking of movements, doesn't this AT also have the twin barrel that adds some power preserve, but it's still less than the BB?
And yes I know I'm not normal, I like the polished links on bracelets ☺️
Correct on movement, but still 55 hours power reserve compared to 70 if that matters.
The 8909 has the 60 hours in the 41 version.
Tudor wins easily. Omega bracelets are still bad and the clasp is unacceptable. The Omega has a low beat movement with a modest power reserve.
Tudor 💪
i think the Tudor won this time.
No date watches > date window watches
Omega has to cpr with rolex yo….
These watches play in two different tiers. A datejust or Explorer would be a better comparison. Omega is the better built watch.
But i would prefer the Tudor. I have a new Tudor BB 41 grey dial and its a perfect GADA watch.

Tudor looks like a children’s watch.

Luma on Omega is so bad.
tudor wins here easily

Tudor's bracelet is bit heavy to wear. So I'd rather choose Omega.
Aqua terra 36 better
Omega is close to double the price. 😂

Day when we’re
Comparing omega to Tudor :(
Butterfly clasps 🤮🤮🤮
Omega looks like a $200 watch from China
You have issues sir.
@@sensible202 Oh sorry, please allow me to correct myself. That Omega watch looks like $175 watch from China.
Spec's don't lie tudor is better
Omega alllllll day bro come on, Tudor is at a better price point if budget is more important so it’s a comp but I’d have to save a little more for the omega
Price wise... rolex is there too? Right?
