Beautiful piece! 38mm was the right call for your wrist. I’m also happy to hear to are wearing it daily. It’s sad when people don’t wear their watches because they want to keep them perfect. Screw that....life is short. Wear it, use it, enjoy it!
Thank you, and I agree! I've bumped my watch a few times, but at this point it doesn't really phase me unless it's a very hard hit. Haha. I'm gonna get every bit of use I can out of this thing!
Gorgeous, love this watch. I never considered the white dial AT, but it really has a classic mid-century look to it. I too have a bracelet with polished center links, and mine are scratched to hell. It’s inevitable. I don’t mind it anymore, it adds character.
I love the way the polished centerlinks look with scratches. I don't know why, but it just looks really cool to me lol. I often switch my AT over to a oem black rubber strap bc the black and white contrast is just beautiful! I'd definitely recommend checking out the white AT in person, video does not do it justice
Great piece man. I just ordered the same one with the black dial. As far as divers go, I can’t recommenced the Oris Aquis enough. I have the green dial version and it’s unbelievable looking.
I'll have to look into Oris again. There's an AD right across my workplace so that'll be easy. Congrats on your Aqua Terra, I'm sure you'll absolutely love it!
I recently went back in the boutique and traded my SMP 300M for this exact piece. I have roughly the same wrist circumference as you and the 42MM beast of a diver just little too heavy and bulky for daily usage. No regrets and your piece looks like held up well and certainly well-worn/loved.
@@nshdwatches9352 Just read some of the previous comments and glad you're fine from the motorcycle accident. I ride my SV650 on weekends and need to stay extra alert riding around crazy California roads.
@@chrisrjo my AD simply applied entire amount towards the new piece. (I went back in within a week and had pretty good conversations with the manager there, so YMMV).
Bought a 38 mm black dial last weekend. A beautiful piece, at night, the indices and hands catch all kinds of light reflection slightly as you move your wrist a bit and it is a beautiful thing to see. Perfect size. Goes with everything
Happy to hear that! The black dial is such a classic look, I love it quite a bit as well! I’ve been with mine for about 3 years now and it’s all around a perfect watch in my opinion, enjoy yours!
First, really nice and honest video, and thank you for making it. I am happy to hear that you are happy with your Omega AT. That white dial makes the watch really special, and having a clean look. In any case, it proved to be robust for every day use and some beating, which is most important. As for losing 1 s/d, since I still plan to add Omega AT in my collection, I asked at Omega boutique here in Munich what to do if watch is losing time on average. The answer was this is covered by warranty. Nevertheless, the free-sprung balance is difficult to regulate and involves actual servicing, thus watchmaker cannot know the result before assembling back the whole movement, so it could happen you need several weeks or month to get you watch back from this service. Therefore, the result might be that your watch starts gaining time even up to 4s/d, and it will be inside of the official specs of up to +5 s/d, and you could not make your claim anymore. This process is based on luck, and it is upon one's decision is it worth to be without a watch for longer period of time, and risk a bit lesser accuracy, but on positive daily average rates. As for comparison, watches like JLC and Zenith El Primero based watches are also in practice as accurate as Omega Master Chronometers, but are much easier to regulate and this can be done free of cost as well in case the rate runs negative on average.
Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed the video. I do plan on taking my watch in for servicing eventually, but for now I'm okay with the way it performs. I'll definitely take it before my warranty expires, but I am not looking forward to going so long without my watch haha 😅
@@nshdwatches9352 What came to my mind is to ask you which is the resting position of your watch when you do not wear it? Is it dial up or some vertical sideways position? Changing the usual resting position may help that your watch gains or not lose seconds per day. You need simply to find a watchmaker to measure the positional rates on the timegrapher and tell you if there is a position where your watch gains time (e. g. It could be even dial down). This might be a simple fix for your small problem. On a side note, usually dial up position is regulated to be dead + 0 s/d, under the condition that the other major positions are on positive rate side.
So I actually only really take off my watch when I shower. I keep it on at all times besides that. I even sleep with it, for reasons to do with terrible eyesight and waking up randomly lol. I haven't been keeping track of the time on it recently, I just adjust it every month or so. I plan on sending it in for service next year
@@nshdwatches9352 Thanks for clarifying. Now I understand why in your case it happens that your Seamaster is running slightly slow. It sounds funny, but most likely the watch gets into the odd vertical position while you sleep which naturally makes the rate offset from designed average rate, and the watch was factory regulated to be dormant in dial-up position for ca. 8 hours per day while the owner is sleeping. Actually, due to this circumstance, I believe your Seamaster is running extraordinary accurately. Sure, it can be regulated to be on average faster for 1 s/d which would solve your problem or try leaving the watch dial up over the night and see what happens with the daily rate. What I would recommend at the moment watch goes to service is not to say you are sleeping with your watch on the wrist, they might try to confront you that the watch was not design for that (I know it sounds funny). Rather say that you wear it almost all day and you have some average daily activities.
That dent is part of your watch’s history, its story. Things happen. That’s life. It might be fun to get a timegrapher to see how it’s running from time to time. I do that with my everyday watch every now and then. It’s an idea.
NSHD Watches, You might want to check on the certification of Omega watches. I’ve heard that, by their certification, they are not supposed to lose time, but always run slightly fast. You may be entitled to service under warranty to get it running just right. They need to live up to their hype, if what I’ve heard is true.
I tried this on yesterday (on gray croc strap) and that dial is amazing, I also tried the black dial on bracelet. Also amazing. I'd have a very hard time choosing between those two dials.
Beautiful watch! I’m looking at a ladies Aqua Terra 34 mm and I’m torn between three dial colors: navy with Sedna rise gold hands and markers; white with Sedna rose gold hands and markers; and a white dial with white gold hands and markers like yours. After watching this video, I’m leaning towards the white on white gold like yours. It’s clean, simple and classic and looks appropriate for office or running errands. Great choice! It looks great on your wrist!
Thank you! Also I am a really big fan of the white with sedna Rose gold! That model actually looks really great in my opinion. I'm happy with mine, but I'd be equally as happy with that combo too!
absolutely beautiful I'm currently looking for a new dressy watch and am looking at a 38mm Aqua terra and the 39mm constellation I already have the moonwatch and a 39mm planet ocean, so probably will go with the constellation
The constellation is such a beautiful piece as well! I think it would fit the dress aesthetic a lot better than the Aqua Terra. Excellent pick and solid collection!
I use to feel the same way! Honestly it eventually got too scratched up for me to care haha. I also bought the OEM rubber strap for it and it’s amazing!
Beautiful watch! Great to see one being properly used too! I was convinced I wanted the blue dial now I’m not sure. White looks awesome! Has the AR coating on the outside of the sapphire crystal scratched at all?
I had someone ask this a while back and after having a look I actually did see some micro scratches on the coating. I did have to look at certain angles and very peculiar light though. It's not something that you can really see just from looking at your watch. You'll have to really look at it to see any micro scratches on the coating. They are there though.
@@nshdwatches9352 awesome, many thanks for the reply. Good to hear that whilst it can scratch, it’s not really noticeable. Great to hear you talking about the wear and tear too. Not enough of that on UA-cam. Seems to be all about the shiny new experience. Nice one 👍
Anytime, thank you as well! The shiny new experience is awesome, but I bought this watch full on expecting myself to wear it as a daily. I knew that wouldn't last too long and now I personally love the wear on it. Makes it look very good imo
@@nshdwatches9352 most definitely. I agree, the shiny new experience is awesome. I just like the fact you show what it is like after real world usage. Like you, I love the wear on my Hamilton Khaki King. Each scratch tells a story!
Beautiful timepiece! You said you are also looking for a diver, choose the omega seamaster 300. It’s an accelent timepeace and very accurate. Enjoy your omega.👍🏼
I actually got to try on the Tudor Pelagos! Unfortunately it didn't click with me as I had hoped it would. It's still a beautiful watch and I appreciate it for what it is, just not for me unfortunately 😁
I'll have a closer look at it when I get home, but with the naked eye no. The dial is crystal clear with no obstruction from any scratches on the AR coating!
I've got the previous 39mm blue dual version which I find is better in terms of looks as not keen on the new design and the date window at 6 o'clock doesn't make sense to me. Also the previous movement is better has more awards in terms of reliability and can also be used as a gmt as has a jump hour function.
Great looking watch..... That’s the same one I want out of the aqua terra line... Still try to save up more $$ and then I keep going back and forth should I or should I just buy a $500-1,000 watch instead and save that extra $3,500 One day I’m definitely going to buy one and a few day later... I’m not sure... Great ret
The itch won’t be scratched until you have the Omega (or grail piece) in your hand. I have spent way too much settling and wishing I saved. When I got my Aqua Terra it was a breathtaking and wonderful experience every single day after.
@@UCZ15 yep.. your so absolutely correct.. I took about (10k) 3 months ago when I retired and first went to Rolex.. It took me less then 5 minutes scanning the Rolex’s that I thought I would like.. Didn’t care for any of them.. When to a JLC dealer Same thing.. The next Saturday I looked at tons of $2,000-$8,000 watches at several different authorized dealers of different brands.. I know I had to physically look at the Omega Aqua Tera before I decided.. It took ( not lying at all ) It took 5 seconds when the dealer put it on my wrist to say.. It’s the best looking watch I have ever saw.. It fit perfectly (41mm) And I bought the silver dial with orange second.. I’m 58 years old and just have 3 nice expensive watches that I decided to keep.. Your right when you said you just dibble with other watches… But if it’s a lifetime thing for anyone who likes quality watches.. Don’t dibble around with wasting dollars on several watches.. Just get one or maybe two that you absolutely love and don’t care at all on the price. If the price is out of your budget. Just start saving up for it.. even if it takes (2-3) years It doesn’t matter.. Like you said… Don’t settle for less…. Blessings Greg
Oh man let me tell ya. It's out for service right now. I had a motorcycle accident with it that stopped the movement. I hopefully will make a video whenever I get it back though! Should be around the 2 year update actually :)
Ohhh I do quite like that, but I'm thinking my next watch should be a different brand. Just to diversify. I'm thinking Grand Seiko! Not necessarily a diver, but who knows 😀
@@nshdwatches9352 Yeah, but you don't want to go knocking around in a GS. That's what a diver's watch is for. Like me, you are obviously a bit active with your watches. I wear my AT (ryder cup captain's watch) for business settings, while any recreational activities I wear either my 2254 or my 2255. Hell, the electric blue 2255 could almost pass as a dress watch.
Hey there, watched your other video when you got the watch and I'm glad you did this update. May I know if you only have a budget for the watch and not both strap and bracelet, which would you pick? Probably gonna get this model but can't decide. My wrists are 17cm so pretty much the same as yours
I would definitely go for the bracelet! I found an OEM strap on eBay for about 150 instead of the retail 400 or so that you would have to pay for it. If you were to want the bracelet afterwards then it would probably be quite hard to find aftermarket and retail would be quite a bit too
@@nshdwatches9352 Thanks for your thoughts! I read that the OEM rubber costs more than the bracelet to buy separately because there are two endlinks, the rubber and the clasp. But I guess I'd rather get the combo I would wear more at first instance.
Actually, looking back, I do remember that the bracelet and rubber strap were fairly similar in price range. I forgot about that. So yeah at that point it would definitely be best to just go with the combo you prefer!
@@nshdwatches9352 hope its not too much to ask, but when you're free, could you do a short 10 sec video of a wrist shot with the rubber? It's really hard to find even pictures of this variant on rubber on wrist.
My AT is actually out for service at the moment. I had an accident on the motorcycle and my watch took all the damage. Nothing major, but I definitely need to get the movement running again
How many sizes does the aqua Terra come in? Personally having a 7 inch wrist, I go for 36mm range, I'm really considering buying my first Omega, and I'm after an Aqua terra, maybe I should go for 38 instead of 36...beautiful watch BTW bro.
The Aqua Terra comes in a 41mm or 38mm option. I'm pretty sure my model only comes in 38mm though, so keep that in mind. This has been my everyday watch since I bought it, so in my opinion you can't go wrong with an Aqua Terra! Thanks 🙂
@@nshdwatches9352 awesome, thanks for the reply... as far as the price point for the type and quality for this type of watch, so far everyone I've talked to hasn't only positive things to say about the Aqua Terra
Oh definitely! I may have overpaid for mine, but regardless of that I think it was still worth it. You can definitely find these on the gray market for really good deals!
Sorry for a delayed response. The lume is very nice! It is generously applied in the spots where it is. It’s not like a lume monster or anything, but I’ve never had any issues viewing it at night. The only thing is you’ll have to get used to finding the minute hand since it kinda blends in when it’s only lume visible. I have very poor eyesight, so I typically wear a watch to bed in case I wake up and need to know the time. The watch is there and the lume is good enough for me to always be able to have a quick glance and know if I can go back to sleep or not! Haha
@@nshdwatches9352 i have one 41mm in black dial too. I was thinking of polishing when servicing but then few weeks later, it will be scratched again and with a thinner case
Having owned one, I hate to say it's obviously very very silver. Anyone who have true white dial would know. (I own smp 300m white dial as well) . Silver dial and white dial have very very different nuance. Silver dial is more classic and gentlemanly, white dial is more pop and young and fun. They are very different
I would disagree that it is very very silver. I agree with your take on silver vs white dial. It is technically called a silver dial on omega’s website, but I would say a true silver dial is the Aqua Terra with the blued indices. I think older models without the “teak” pattern are very silver, but not this one. Only in certain light does it actually look silver; in most other light it looks white and I hadn’t had anyone disagree about that. It’s not a solid white as you would find on actual white dial watches, but it’s definitely more white than silver imo
Beautiful piece! 38mm was the right call for your wrist. I’m also happy to hear to are wearing it daily. It’s sad when people don’t wear their watches because they want to keep them perfect. Screw that....life is short. Wear it, use it, enjoy it!

Wearing Mine for about half a year...cant understand how there are so many scrarches....but still in love
In my opinion a scratched up case just makes the dial shine even more!

Take plenty of pictures while it's in good condition haha!

I would definitely go for the bracelet! I found an OEM strap on eBay for about 150 instead of the retail 400 or so that you would have to pay for it. If you were to want the bracelet afterwards then it would probably be quite hard to find aftermarket and retail would be quite a bit too
@@nshdwatches9352 Thanks for your thoughts! I read that the OEM rubber costs more than the bracelet to buy separately because there are two endlinks, the rubber and the clasp. But I guess I'd rather get the combo I would wear more at first instance.
Actually, looking back, I do remember that the bracelet and rubber strap were fairly similar in price range. I forgot about that. So yeah at that point it would definitely be best to just go with the combo you prefer!
@@nshdwatches9352 hope its not too much to ask, but when you're free, could you do a short 10 sec video of a wrist shot with the rubber? It's really hard to find even pictures of this variant on rubber on wrist.
My AT is actually out for service at the moment. I had an accident on the motorcycle and my watch took all the damage. Nothing major, but I definitely need to get the movement running again
Oh yes just checking, does your minute hand jump when you push in the crown? Like does it move slightly when you push the crown to start the time.
Just checked and no it does not
How many sizes does the aqua Terra come in? Personally having a 7 inch wrist, I go for 36mm range, I'm really considering buying my first Omega, and I'm after an Aqua terra, maybe I should go for 38 instead of 36...beautiful watch BTW bro.
The Aqua Terra comes in a 41mm or 38mm option. I'm pretty sure my model only comes in 38mm though, so keep that in mind. This has been my everyday watch since I bought it, so in my opinion you can't go wrong with an Aqua Terra! Thanks 🙂
@@nshdwatches9352 awesome, thanks for the reply... as far as the price point for the type and quality for this type of watch, so far everyone I've talked to hasn't only positive things to say about the Aqua Terra
Oh definitely! I may have overpaid for mine, but regardless of that I think it was still worth it. You can definitely find these on the gray market for really good deals!
Beautiful
If you were to purchase again, would you go with the white dial or another color?
I would still get the white dial! :)
I really thought that the ant was walking on my tablet. 🤣
Is this watch still available on stores or it's been discontinued?
It should still be available in retailers. I was out and about in Atlanta recently and came across the black dial 38mm!
how is the lume on this watch?
Sorry for a delayed response. The lume is very nice! It is generously applied in the spots where it is. It’s not like a lume monster or anything, but I’ve never had any issues viewing it at night. The only thing is you’ll have to get used to finding the minute hand since it kinda blends in when it’s only lume visible.
I have very poor eyesight, so I typically wear a watch to bed in case I wake up and need to know the time. The watch is there and the lume is good enough for me to always be able to have a quick glance and know if I can go back to sleep or not! Haha
Will you consider polishing it during service?
Probably not. Depends on how bad it gets. I quite like the look of a worn in watch though :)
@@nshdwatches9352 i have one 41mm in black dial too. I was thinking of polishing when servicing but then few weeks later, it will be scratched again and with a thinner case
That mid polished link is a deal breaker for me. They just don’t go well with the brushed ones. Without those I would get it in a heart beat
I didn't like them at first, but it's really grown on me. I like the way the polished links pick up scratches, it just looks really cool to me lol
Having owned one, I hate to say it's obviously very very silver. Anyone who have true white dial would know. (I own smp 300m white dial as well) . Silver dial and white dial have very very different nuance. Silver dial is more classic and gentlemanly, white dial is more pop and young and fun. They are very different
I would disagree that it is very very silver. I agree with your take on silver vs white dial.
It is technically called a silver dial on omega’s website, but I would say a true silver dial is the Aqua Terra with the blued indices. I think older models without the “teak” pattern are very silver, but not this one. Only in certain light does it actually look silver; in most other light it looks white and I hadn’t had anyone disagree about that. It’s not a solid white as you would find on actual white dial watches, but it’s definitely more white than silver imo
😍
Wrist size?
6.75in
if it's losing time it could be because you dropped it
Oh definitely. I never bothered checking it after it fell, but it was still losing time even before that
