    I bought this watch last week and I simply can’t get my eyes off it. It is so elegant, classic, yet it can be worn with shorts and flip flops if you wanted to. This is my first luxury watch and I’m more than happy that I decided go to for this one. Absolutely love it and I can’t wait to wear it out to special occasions! Great review btw!

    Went into a AD the other day deciding to pull to trigger on an Omega after coming to terms that a Rolex is out of the quest for the moment. I’ve known a little about Omega but not much. The AT blue dial drew me right to instantly. I love this watch it is truly gorgeous. Went from my first watch a Citizen, to this after 15 years so this is a huge upgrade. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase in this lovely piece.

    Another great video! I traded my IWC Mark XVIII for an Aqua Terra 8900, grey dial. I love it, and it's so much more watch than the IWC, apart from its lume - the minute hand just gets lost in the dial at night. Still, that 8900 is fantastic! The timezone function makes it pretty useful for us aviators.

    I Agree with you completely. This is the perfect 1-Watch-Collection. And MUCH better than the Data Just. The only reason I haven‘t bought it is that I already own specific watches: a dedicated dive watch, a dress watch, a field/aviator watch… but this one could do it all. And maybe I will add it to my collection since this is the perfect travel watch you could wear for every event - beach to blazer.

    My Omega watch's movement is more efficient than my Seiko Spring Drive, although perhaps not as accurate. I tested its resistance to magnets; even when I placed a strong magnet nearby, it continued to run. I performed the same test on my analogue G-Shock, which stopped, but thankfully, it's working fine now. Thank you for your excellent UA-cam video about the Omega Aqua Terra; I own an Omega Seamaster myself.

    Great review, Evan! Couldn't agree with you more. I've only owned my AT since 2019, but it was the first watch that caught my eye when I got into the hobby in 2017. I genuinely think it would be my pick to keep if I had to get rid of every watch in my collection except for one. As you mentioned, it can cover pretty much every single base when it comes to lifestyle, which is a major plus for people wanting a one watch collection.

    It is a phenomenal watch in a unusual colour. But Omega should update the 8xxx movement series to a thinner version with a tad more power reserve, If you see when this was introduced, it is difficult to fathom that a company like Omega has not come up with a newer version of it’s movement. If you look at the speed at which grand seiko is going with their movements...

    I agree - the Aqua Terra is awesome! I owned the black version on the rubber strap 2 years ago. In the end I sold it because it was a little too thick for me and I missed the quick set date as this wasn't my only and also not my travel watch. Additionally I don't like the crown action and perception of it. It didn't feel secure between my fingers while winding the watch after it stopped before. Yeah that's a lot of small pet peeves but in the end all together just prevented me from keeping it. Nevertheless this is more of a personal perception and I also think that the watch itself is one of the best choices in the price range! Great presentation as always!
