I think you should still go to a boutique and try the 38 in black once they're available. Chances are it's gonna wear smaller than the white one, because of how colors work.
My first Aqua Terra (first generation) was 39mm, and also had a black lacquer dial. With a black date window. So they made the perfect one and done many years ago
Cold Pizza Watch Reviews - I think your crazy.😀 38mm looks just fine. I also have a 6.5 inch wrist and have an early 2000s, 39mm Omega AT with a black dial - I love it. One point you may not have considered though is that white dials tend to make watches look bigger and black dials always make watches look that bit smaller. Good luck with your decision.
It’s not really a “one and done” watch. If you’ve ever seen the Aqua Terra Shades collection, which has the same case, it is almost completely polished and not brushed. Scratches easily, super blingy, and not suitable as a versatile sports watch. The black dial teak model with brushed case is more of an all-rounder. Wish they had this dial with the brushed case
Yeh, I hear you. I got the summer blue 38 and I never wore it. Now I just throw it on with everything, let it get a little grimy 😂 and it’s a cool, everyday piece if you show it who’s boss
Agree. I went for the teak dial last night instead in blue. The new AT is too flashy for everyday wear, and it doesn't have the same identity as the standard AT's.
it's not necessarily the 6.5" circumference of your wrist, more to do with shape. if you have pancake shaped vs more round wrist, you might be able to pull it off.
I want the white dial aqua terra at 38 mm, sub 12 mm in thickness, and no date. All brushed bracelet with button micro adjustment clasp would be chef's kiss.
I also have 6.5 inches wrist and my omega AT shades baygreen looks great on my wrist. I guess the white dial creates some illusion. Terracotta, Baygreen and summer blue are great options to wear. There are a lot of other options for a black dial.
The first gen. Aqua Terra was available with a black lacquer dial ,l still have one ! Brushed case polished bezel and a brushed bracelet which l prefer .
That's one of the most underrated watches ever. And it looks so much better in person with that dial and rhodium indices. I have one but with a silver dial. I still think about the black one though.
I choose the 41mm over the OP and Explorer. It looked better, to me, than the other two. This watch looks much better in person, and on the wrist, than the press photos show.
@MikoTheTomCat yeah, its dog water tbh. My wife has the same adjustment on her 36mm metas constellation. The gap looks trash, but the overall watch is sexy. I only paid 2950 for it so I cant be mad. If I paid over 5K though, Id be pissed.
@@TheBrah808yeah fair enough. Still Omega should do better. Same with their Moonwatch comfort clasp. It’s 2.7mm which is nowhere near enough. Hence why I sold it.
I have the 2023 Aqua Terra blue dial and felt it was top heavy. I changed the strap to an Artem sailcloth strap and it’s much lighter. For that kind of money they should have put it on the T-fit glide lock. I’m done buying watches without it. Grand Seiko has the same issue. My gmt GS lacks it
I’m curious now how it’ll wear on mh 6 3/4 inch wrist . Maybe the black dial will do a lil watch magic and look a bit slimmer than the white you showed . All in all , great new watch from Omega. One I’m seriously considering later this year . Great review brother 🤘🏻
I think you need to consider that the Aqua Terran actually still IS a part of the Seamaster collection, so needs to have a clear and clearly visible housing by image.
@@coldpizzawatchreviews That's probably the case, and then the next generation Aqua Terra should be even more refined so as not to end up in no man's land and be neither a utility watch or sports/every day watch. Having said that -the Aqua Terra Black Lacquer Dial is a DANG good looking and elegant watch!
White dials like white clothing making you look bigger, dark color dials make the watch smaller. Especially when white dial doesnt have a bezel it looks bigger. 37-38mm white dial will look the same diameter as 40mm dive watch !!!
This black watch will be perfect for you, even at 38mm. Firstly, it’s black (white always looks more significant). Secondly, due to the more polished dial and bracelet, it’ll look much more suitable. Lastly, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 wears bigger than this Omega at 38mm. Unlike the Rolex Explorer in 36, the Oyster Perpetual 36 is and wears bigger. The Oyster Perpetual bracelet, unlike the Omega, doesn’t go straight down! Additionally, the Omega is more round than the Rolex, thus… you get the idea. Think of it as if the Rolex is 1mm bigger and Omega 1mm smaller, so they meet! However, the Omega (this one, not the teak dial) is mainly polished, making it way more dressy than the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which is not polished at all! Lastly, I immensely enjoyed this video and will look for more. Thanks!
I think they used to make a 36 quartz AT with lacquered dial. Looks awesome. I’ve got a 36mm OP for my 6.5 wrist and the size is perfect. This reminds me of the 39 Rolex Explorer. I was called in for the watch after being wait-listed and rejected it. The dial looked oddly disproportionate; too much vacant space. Of course, Rolex went back to 36 with the Explorer. Shame Omega made this odd choice.
38mm looks fine on you. I personally own the white dial 38mm that you have pictured and it’s fine for me. I have 6” Likely a taste thing but I don’t think that you would feel that way if you had got it and worn it on a regular basis.
@@vxyume Other people have had them in hand. I’m guessing the best he could do is just go with what they say about the dial and adjustable clasp. At the end of the day these ‘reviews’ are just content to make money.
I don’t have an Omega and this really hits a sweet spot for me. That said, I own a GS SBGA467 and it’s so close to the same overall look of this Omega. Oh well. Great vid 😎👍🏼
The problem now are the sizes, 38 is too large to be unisex, the 34 is too small to be unisex. They needed a 36. I agree with you, the 38 is just too large for many people.
I was between the Aqua Terra and the OP41. Chose the Rolex. And now I'm glad I did. No silly polished centre links, it's worth more now than when I bought it, and I only waited a couple of months. I admire the AT, but it needs a fully brushed bracelet.
Too much polish on the case, and that micro adjust is clumsy. 😢 Fantastic dial and best movement under $10k. So close and yet so far. You can easily pull off that 38mm - looked great on you.
You’d have to have absolute rocks in your head to choose this omega over a Rolex Explorer. That being said, it’s a nice watch but all of the polishing kills it.
To be fair, there are some issues with the Aqua Terra. I have both a 41 and 38mm AT (not the lacquer models). First issue is the bulkiness of the Omega. They are thick as a brick. They have useless lume. They lack micro-adjust on the bracelet. Are these a real problem? They are, because you are comparing to Rolex, which are thinner, have outstanding lume, and have micro-adjust. Fortunately, my 41mm is on a strap, and it is a great one. But in no way to I find my Omegas to be superior to my rolexes. (and NOMOS beats them both, BTW)
Between this nice omega and a rolex op i prefer the rolex,but its just a personal opinion,the price is almost the same ,so the only thing realy different its the avalaibility,no wait list for omega and in my rolex AD shop they ask me minimum 8 month for the rolex..
“Most people consider this to smoke Rolex’s accuracy”. Who are these people and are they aware that Rolex has tighter tolerances with an equally robust movement? I get the need for the click bait thumbnail, but that comment was silly. I’ll bet on any Rolex to keep just as good, and likely better time.
I owned both omega and several rolexes with movt 3235 , I can confirm omega calibre 8800 is more accurate than rolex , but other calibre may not be as accurate as rolex.
@alanalan4935 Also own or owned several of both. No matter how you slice it, 5 secs per day is worse than 4 secs per day. Rolex also has higher beat rate and power reserve. I don't like Rolex, but no 1 has dethroned their ability to produce world-class movements.
@@sdiver68 imine is not +5 seconds per day, it is +1 second, I bet then you have not owned any omega with 8800 movement yet. Only this one movement is better than rolex.
Dang, 38mm is already small. How tiny do you guys want these watches? I feel like everyone is always asking for smaller and smaller watches, yet when a company finally delivers (e.g this 38mm AQ), you still get the obligatory, "SMAAALLLEER!!!!". Embrace your masculinity fellas lol.
60 hours of power reserve is not good enough. A luxury watch should have a minimum of 70 hours. That watch doesn’t fit you. You would not be happy with it.
Firstly, you're wearing it too low in that pic. Secondly, 6.5 inches though it may be, the flatness of the wrist is important. It's just a 45 mm lug to lug watch, really shouldn't be hard to pull off. But the white dial makes it wear bigger.
In Toronto canada I buy a super super clone I bring it to a rolex expert he say it was real rolex . Unbelievable. Your super clone look just like mine. You a expert but a regular person like me will never know. Imagine on mamacoo
I think you should still go to a boutique and try the 38 in black once they're available. Chances are it's gonna wear smaller than the white one, because of how colors work.
I’ll definitely be back there!!
I totally agree, white dials make watch faces look bigger than they actually are.
+1
I agree with the sizing, 36mm is a goldilocks sizing for wrists under 7 inches. Rolex kept the 36mm explorer in production for a reason
My first Aqua Terra (first generation) was 39mm, and also had a black lacquer dial. With a black date window. So they made the perfect one and done many years ago
I just hate the polished centre links.

I think 6 3/4” will work but definitely try it on. I think it’s a classic watch and a move in the right direction by Omega!
Pretty sure the website says the hands are rhodium plated not white gold.
They won’t discount for 12 months on a new release bro
