    If you're in the market for your first real luxury watch and looking for something with everyday versatility and durability, there is a relatively long list of options from major watch brands and even a few charming independents. However, for me, the Omega Aqua Terra is a watch that should be at or near the top of your list if you're looking for a "one and done" luxury watch for everyday wear. In this video, we'll go in depth with the modern Aqua Terra in a 41mm variant with a striking green dial to examine what it is that makes this watch so high on my list.

    I have owned an Aqua Terra Seamaster Co-Axial with smooth silver face (no deck lines) for many years. I wear it every day for every occasion, and it is much admired. It is completely original, and the glass remains unscratched despite much garden working. The Steel bracelet to has never failed; at its (old style|) slide clasp. I have owned many watches in the past; this one is so genuinely tuff! So pleased am I that I even brought my wife the same with Ladies diamond hour positions Seamaster. She is very pleased with it; this too she now wears every day 24/7.

    What a coincidence, I just made up my mind and pulled the trigger on a Omega Seamaster AT 41mm with black dial, after months of consideration of different models and types of watches. I watched many of your reviews and find them outstanding, you truly makes shopping for watches so much fun, and it sure helped me pick my first luxury watch cause really it comes down to what you like and are going to feel is right to have on your wrist every day. The Omega Seamaster AT checks so many boxes for me. Dressy yet sporty, it sure looks great with everything from a suit to a sail jacket or even running gear or WCT shirt. I love that it has a power reserve of 60h, just enough to be able to take it off on Friday night and put it back on Monday morning, and find it still running! I love that it's water proof to 150m, means I will never have to take it off at the beach when going for a swim (not leaving nosey eyes any chance to lay hands on it). Cause yes it WILL draw attention, given all the shine from all those polished parts on bezel and bracelet. Also the setting of hour hand alone is awesome, very quick way to change date or time zone without stopping the watch. My only "concerns" after one month of owning the 8900 is that it seems to be running a little fast, 4s per day or so. Wonder if this will change over time? I also find that when crown is screwed all the way down, the Omega logo is like 160 degrees rotated (almost up side down). It ends up like that all the time, so must mean there could been a way to always get it lined up correctly, so why not make it oriented that way from manufacturing? Is this same for all ATs? Another thing I noticed is when I gave the crown some 40 twists after it stopped, making it feel more resistant and so at least I thought it was fully winded, it stopped again in less than 24 hours. How much should you really have to turn it to fully tension the main spring? Would really apriciate some answers to these small concerns but still despite them I absolutely love my watch and more so for every day! Thanks Teddy for a great channel 👍

      Only trouble is which "one" I like this green dial one on the bracelet (with the leather alligator strap alternative). It looks like an elegant sports watch to wear with a suit or smart casual. But I also like the chrome dial with the blue hands and indices on the rubber strap for casual wear, swimming etc.A combo of both would also give the option of wearing either on a shared bracelet, the green on the alligator or the chrome on the rubber. Effectively 4 looks from 2 watches.

    Couldn't agree more on a couple points. 1) That green really is understated, and I like that. 2) Customer experience is critical. Consumers should expect and demand a good customer experience. In my mind, it doesn't require fancy coffee or salespeople with white gloves. You just need to care about the customer from beginning to end, understand that the custoer is the critical component in each transaction, and act like it. This is one thing that Oris does really well. I even once got a reply to a question from the email of Rolf Studer. Not saying Rolf actually wrote it, but it has his signature. That kind of friendly, approachable touch builds brands. You don't have to wear a crown (u-hem) to treat costumers like they matter. In fact, it might help if you didn't.

    Without a doubt the best luxury watch for the money. Own this in the grey dial/ blue rubber/integrated strap, and the finish and attention to detail is unreal for a watch you can get for under $5K. Compared to my 36 Datejust with black face and Roman numerals, I prefer the AT all day and really only use the Datejust on dressier occasions because it’s on a steel bracelet. Big winner here for OMEGA.

    Great video and explanation. I went for the Aquaterra GMT 43mm on a black dial. I know it’s a little big, but I can accommodate it in my 7 1/2” wrist. I have other watches that are 43mm and I am comfortable with their sizes. Another reason is that I didn’t wanted a dress watch, I wanted a casual one. For me the Aquaterra is the mother of all watches. I am sorry Oris, I also love you, but I have to compare the Aquaterra with Roberto Clemente. He had so many tools and abilities that he could win a game in a lot of ways, that is also what the Aquaterra does!!! I am stopping my luxury level of watches with Omega, I will not buy a Rolex. I want a watch that reminds me of what I have accomplished with hard work, Omega does it in a good way. I don’t want to be part of a club where people that are right handed holds their glass with their left hands all night so others can see they are wearing a Rolex. I hold the glass with my left hand because I am left handed, I don’t wear a watch to impress others!!!! Aquaterra is the watch the qualifies with nines and tens in all categories!!!! Thank you Teddy!!!!

    I’ve had my 38mm AquaTerra for 11 months now and after about a year it is one of my favorite watches that is probably my most versatile. It works on the bracelet, the metal/rubber strap or the alligator, both on the deployant clasp. Dress it up, dress it down, get it wet - the AT has made me a believer.

    I think that it's really nice that Omega is moving toward making watches with smaller diameters.
    As a dude with tiny wrists I regularly find that most appealing dive / dress hybrid watches are unfortunately large in diameter and personally 39mm with a suitable lug-to-lug width is probably the perfect watch diameter and I like the Omega Seamaster line but there is still some way to go before I'd be looking at one...

    @theoverlord1925 3 года назад +4

    I agree with everything and love the watch. The only thing stopping me from buying it is the clasp. If the watch has some sporty attributes , it should have a clasp with micro adjustments like on the Seamaster 300 M . The butterfly clasp is dressier, and sleeker; but two half links is the only fine adjustment you will get on this this other than adding or removing full links.

  • @markplayford5836
    @markplayford5836 3 года назад +4

    I LOVE the aquaterra for me it covers all bases. It’s sporty and dressy all the same time on the bracelet. The polished mid links could be an issue overtime but as long as you don’t wear it to do a manual job, small scratches should polish out. I really like the rubber strap also, and the combination of the two give it even more scope for versatility. An excellent movement and an interesting design language just work. The Zenith Defy is a lovely watch but at the side of this it looks like a one trick pony.

    Great review Teddy...Had the Milgauss, sold it and now have a Blue 8900 mvt AT. Love it and as you say a permanent all rounder that can be dressed up for Blk tie and down for the trail. Currently I have mine on rubber for summer. It really has it all, GMT functionality, 15k gauss, clear caseback and the list goes on. The Dial is so nice in person...Although I rarely get 2 of the same, that Green is tempting! Thanks again for the content!!

    The green is certainly a handsome looker. Nice detailed execution on the dial. Good looking open caseback. For the price and availability it’s certainly punching above its weight. One of those do it all pieces. And a refreshing change from say the steel Datejust which is getting rare. I’ve got an old Omega Seamaster which is still going strong after 2 decades. Solid brand can’t go wrong really.

A Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 along with a Seiko Presage with the circular date complication, a Hamilton Khaki diver (Black dial with the batman bezel), an Orient, and a few other knock-around cheapies, but since I bought the this Omega, I've not worn ANY of my other watches. It's my daily driver and works for all occasions. I LOVE this watch. It IS a one watch collection.

I do have the Worldtimer with the bracelet and did buy the rubber strap. The rubber strap really helps the dial pop. I’m sure it would do the same with the regular AT line as well.
