I really like this new 'Shades' collection within the Aqua Terra line. But imho Omega is still suffering from the too thick cases because their own Master Chronometer movements are just too thick. Prices are also WAY over the top. I bought my Aqua Terra 150m for around 3.2k Euros in 2017. Retail was around 3.6k back then. And now they charge 7.2k Euros for pretty much the same watch model with the exact same movement?! That's a solid 100% price increase in just 6 years. Sorry Omega, but that's just ridiculous. (For comparison: The Submariner Date 116610LN was 7.3k Euros in 2015 and is now 10.1k retail in 2023. That's not even 28% in 8 years. And the current 126610LN reference for that money does have a completely new movement with noticable improvements in multiple aspects. So you can clearly say that Omega's trying to move upwards but with no noticable improvements instead which I think isn't a very honarable move by them...)
Got my green AT shades in may and it is the only watch i have worn since. I wear it in a suit every day for work and ive been rafting, snorkeling, and traveling in it. Perfect watch for every day wear!!!
@@SantoKanto-j3k well it has some, they are relatively noticeable, but they dont bother me. I dont abuse my watches, but i certainly dont baby them. I wouldnt let the polished surfaces deter you from this one, such a versatile piece.
Tried them on and they look and wear amazingly. But the lack of on the fly micro adjustments in the bracelet is so frustrating, especially for the price
Omega has to put some effort into making their watches thinner. With the dome, these things are almost 13mm. Ironically, vintage Seamasters were 9mm thick and you could take them in any swim or sea condition that a human would experience. And they looked better.
been wanting that green (and kinds love the others too) since the original press renders, just cant quite find enough cash, by the time I collect enough, the prices go up, and as of now, just think they are too pricey .. love them, but need it nearer to £4k
Was just at Omega Crown on Thursday and they had the green which I almost nabbed and the saffron. Great service and a stunning collection, maybe worth a shot?
Saw the Saffron at Changi airport last Sunday. The late availability and releases of these models have already dried up my appetite so it’s a big pass for me. 😢
I love these watches. The dials, the dimensions, the bracelet, all is for me. But there is one thing that keep me away from buying : the all polished case. I hate it. Too simple, too fragile. I don't understand that.
For 10k...I need more features to justify the price tag. Bump up the power to at least 72hrs....why use butterfly clasp? Should have used something with on the fly adjustment.
Got the blue version and sold it after 2 weeks because of buyers remorse. Lost 35% of value but didnt care since the bracelet is really bad without micro-adjust. Also simply too thick. My speedmaster wears thinner than the ATs.
Firstly I would only consider the 41 mm version as 38 mm is too small for the average man in my opinion. Secondly the clasp is not great , they should have some kind of micro adjust on the fly as it a dressy sports watch , but still a sports watch or sportier watch style , the proof is in the colour of the dials.Lastly the price , almost 11 grand for one these ? I don’t think so mes amis….
38mm is in no way too small for the average man. It’s not a small watch, asat. A friend of mine has one and it has plenty of presence. I own a Railmaster which uses a 40mm AT case, the advantage of my watch is that being minus a date window, slightly thinner.
Not even new models… they just need to actually improve their existing models. Thinner movements and cases, longer power reserves, BRUSHED bracelets, and microadjust clasps. Omega’s response: “What if we did none of that and just hiked up the price?”

Wow that is versatile!
Hey man how are the scratches on the case and bracelet so far?

@@johnjohn3274 Okay, am considering getting one from my AD for 6100 usd out the door.
You can't go wrong with the Aqua Terra. I want all of them 😅
Very beautiful watch indeed, but 7.5k for basically the same watch that few years ago was sold for around 3.7k sounds like a robbery 😅😅😅
❤❤❤ Literally the perfect daily wear watch ❤❤❤ Silver dial please ❤❤❤ Just need the price to come down 😢😢😢
This watch is the bomb!! All of the dials are beautiful. Omega really hit this one out of the park. Don't change a thing about it.
Love these watches. But pricey and more dressy than everyday...Keep 'em coming T&T!!
Very hard to choose between the blue and red. It's cool that the sandstone reflects different color light.
Picked up the saffron dial version on my recent trip to Milan 🇮🇹
I would definitely buy one if they produce brushed bezel. I dont want to use a polished one as an everyday watch.
Tried them on and they look and wear amazingly. But the lack of on the fly micro adjustments in the bracelet is so frustrating, especially for the price
That and only 55 hrs PR! I think most care more about that and less about 15000 gauss rating or METAS
Almost nobody cares about PR. Overblown feature, if you wear the watch daily there is no need for more than 35 hours@@dukes70
I like the brushed Railmaster better, skipped the bracelet model because of criticism. Omega needs to step up their bracelets!
I already have a Seamaster 300M... I want this one to wear with a suit. All the
polishing is rather welcome 😂
Really like my saffron. A truly versatile GADA.
those dials are amazing.

There're gorgeous.

I’ve been waiting 18 months waitlisted Melbourne Australia. WTF Omega!?
They withdrew the whole collection because of the date-window issue and kept taking orders, so I guess just keep waiting
Was just at Omega Crown on Thursday and they had the green which I almost nabbed and the saffron. Great service and a stunning collection, maybe worth a shot?
I ordered a Terracotta dial when first released here in UK .. still none available in AD
The Terracotta never shipped to Cda. Waiting lists still have the same names on them. A bust..
The green one is sitting in cases everywhere however.
Saw the Saffron at Changi airport last Sunday. The late availability and releases of these models have already dried up my appetite so it’s a big pass for me. 😢
Still too expensive. They’re great watches but I think 15-20% higher than they should be.
I love these watches. The dials, the dimensions, the bracelet, all is for me. But there is one thing that keep me away from buying : the all polished case. I hate it. Too simple, too fragile. I don't understand that.
Really? The polished case? Not the measly 50 hour power reserves or lack of micro adjustment to the bracelet all for such a steep price?
I'll stick to my 8500 Skyfall model, better movement and much better dial. Just hoping they release a 41mm version purely for the bracelet.
For 10k...I need more features to justify the price tag. Bump up the power to at least 72hrs....why use butterfly clasp? Should have used something with on the fly adjustment.

Never seen one at my AD
In Duesseldorf, Germany you can find some in the stores.
Don't care for this version on the AT. I prefer the teak deck dial.
The bracelet on the teak deck is cheap looking and also looks crap. This bracelet looks and feels miles better
No color matching date
polished watches are never GADA watches
My AD wears an AT green/teak dial. The bracelet and case looks terrible with scratches. Put me off; I’m also longing for brushed

We're coming to the end of the large case size (41 mm or above) era for everyday watches. 38 mm is the sweet spot for most wrist sizes.
How wrong you are. 38mm is perfect for most "men"
To me omega is just boring, they need to stop playing it safe and come out with some new models.
Not even new models… they just need to actually improve their existing models. Thinner movements and cases, longer power reserves, BRUSHED bracelets, and microadjust clasps. Omega’s response: “What if we did none of that and just hiked up the price?”
A watch that should cost no more than 2k...
