Great dial colors, like the high polish, like the bracelet, don't mind that it is more "metro" per the reviewer's remarks. My beef with this watch is that the "Shades" collection isn't in 41mm. Also, these 38mm doesn't have the newer movement found in the 41mm. Yet, it is more expensive.
Got my Bay Green AT in mid-may, i love it to pieces! Wears beautifully, i was able to get a perfect fit on the bracelet even without micro adjustments(i know im an outlier in that sense) and it keeps great time. I have no complaints about the high polishing everywhere, but thats a personal preference. The only complaint i have is that the crown is a bit tough to use due to texture and size, luckily its so accurate ive only set the watch once, haha!
Great discussion. I like to see Omega win too! But I've had to cycle through four different Omega watches to find the right one. SM300 - Couldn't read the lume on the skeleton hands at night. AT GMT - Too big, and no lume on the minute hand except the tip. Planet Ocean - Oh man! Beautiful watch and great lume...but way too thick. Finally, I lucked out and fell into a SM GMT 50th Anniversary with Sword Hands. Perfection! Love it.
It has been a long time coming and I tried one on about 10 months ago with the intention of buying one but the price increase has put me off. In the U.K. they are asking £6100. I do not think it is a six grand watch.
What do I think about this watch? Question should be what do I think about you! This Aqua Terra is one of the most beautiful watches on the market. I know you're nit-picking but it doesn't make sense. So what if they use some brushing with a lot of polishing? One can hardly notice it from several feet away and besides, it looks very good! I haven't seen a watch this good looking since the 2000s. The only thing I don't like about this Aqua Terra is the date window. It doesn't have enough contrast, but is it a show stopper? Heck no! I just bought one for my wife, and she absolutely loves it!
Great channel ! Let me explain, John. It’s a dressy watch. The AT line still has whatever you are talking about. Non of those have been discontinued. This is for us who like the attention on their watches and want to be noticed. I got countless compliments on this watch! Among others, I also have the Yacht Master 40 which is a dressy sports watch. Also, my Cartier Santos. This one kind does the same. I got my Terracotta a week ago. Waited almost 2 months. Fantastic watch ! Go get it if you can !!! Don’t listen to John. Sorry John, totally disagree !!!
So you mean this watch is for people who want to show off their wealth? That's why John is telling, you will see it on the streets of NY or Zurich. It's not a sport watch anymore, not an everyday watch. The high polishing will absolutely make it the ultimate scratch magnet.
That’s not what I said. I didn’t say that people should be showing off with an Aqua Terra. I certainly hope that’s not the watch people use in Nyc and or Zurich to show off their wealth. Come on! I said, some of us like the attention on our watches. We like being asked by other watch enthusiasts about what you have on your wrist. Nothing more nothing less. But I am saying that Omega is a very good position to have a dressy Aqua Terra just like other brands have “shiny scratch magents” Rolex, Patek, AP, IWC and the list goes on and on. They all make a dressy, shiny watches on a bracelet that is a scratch magnet. That doesn’t disqualify the new Aqua Terra shades. I commented on John’s video, because it’s unfair to put this watch down, just because it’s not to someone’s liking, plus the original line isn’t discontinued. So what’s the video for ? Getting likes and views on a video ? Bad reason to have a watch channel. I hope we all agree that John probably just expressed his genuine feelings about these watches. I get it. That’s what the watch world is about. We like what others don’t and vice versa.
Agree!!!!!Both recent datejusts and aqua terras follow the trend to be more and more flashy, more "jewel"...whearas up until 2010 these watches had still a bit of a "toolwatch dna" (not any more) I keep my 2009 railmaster36mm (i am selling my 25043000 unfortunately)
How is this "cheaping out"? High polish finishing is more expensive than brushed. This is clearly meant to be a more dressy watch than their regular Aqua Terra line watches.
The bracelet should have a brushed surface, just because it hides scratches better. My AT has some scratches on the bracelet where I rest it on a table. Otherwise I love it, I stare at it all the time.
Not the pre ceramic Rolex Submariners/ GMTs and Sea dwellers. They wear absolutely amazing. Nothing tops my Rolex Submariner 14060m and Explorer 1 14270z in terms of comfort. Now modern Rolex with the super cases. I'm guessing wear alot different and who says a pre ceramic Rolex doesn't wear well are either bullshiting or just hating
@@KAM128 Omega has some slim stuff, but yeah, in the divewatch realm, Rolex is the slimmest of the three of the main lines. BB54 might be the slimmest but I would have to look.
I think there's a question here, and that's "what is this watch competing against?" If it's the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, it seems strange that the AT is a lot more expensive - here in the UK, it's £6100 against the OP's £5400. Even the regular Aqua Terra 41mm starts at £4800, which runs dangerously close to Rolex money when considering the residuals (not something I usually do, but is a factor to consider when the prices are so close). Sure, it's a lot harder to get a Rolex at retail, but it's not impossible. If this new Aqua Terra is supposed to be competition for the Rolex DateJust, then where does that leave the original AT in Omega's lineup? Given that you can get the OG Aqua Terra in a similar size (38.5 to 38), and that its bracelet is much better than the new one, you're only trading the colourful sunburst dial for the slightly plainer, but much more interesting, "teak" one, and saving money in the bargain. Unless you're desperate to have one of those new dials, it doesn't make sense. As an Omega fan, it's worrying to see the direction the company is going. The movement quality remains, but the overall design language and desire to be all things to all men is bloating Omega's catalogue beyond comprehension. It's already a very messy website to navigate - especially when compared to Rolex's streamlined one. And if the new Aqua Terra bracelet is an indication of things to come, Omega also seems to be cutting corners on the overall quality of the final product. Cartier has already overtaken them as the number two to Rolex's number one spot in the industry list. If Omega continues this path, I fear they'll slip even further.
I like the finish - there is contrast on the strap . As Clint Eastwood said ‘opinions are like a**holes, everybody’s got one’ - I think this is a lot less boring than previous aquaterras. I have the stunning terracotta dial. This is the best aquaterra yet…….
I get the impression that these colored dials were more of a special run rather than replacing the mainline Aqua Terras. In that context, I think it's good that they did something different and are offering more options. If these were replacing the teak dial AT's, though, I'd definitely agree that this is not the direction I'd want the product line to go.
The Aqua-Terra is a fantastic watch. Everything about it works...but not when it's 38mm. It is a different watch and needs to stand alone as a different watch.
Wow, cool watch! It's all about choices here. You see, they've got different styles to cater to everyone's tastes. It's like a buffet for your wrist! You don't have to be a fan of every single edition - just find the one that screams 'you' and run with it. So what if some aren't your cup of tea? They're just there to tickle somebody else's fancy!
7:03, No offence but Omega chose the suitable model to advertise this watch! Back in the 1970s and probably early 1980s when I was a teenager observing and admiring posters advertising Omega Diver watches and Omega Speedmaster Mark II watches, it was always these older, rough muscular and hairy guys (and scary scary to me at that time) wearing those watches.
Modern Omega just doesn't do it for me like vintage Omega. I just find vintage Omega designs alot more appealing and interesting. Just look how awesome the evolution of the Speedmaster was from the Moon wacth to the Speedmaster Mark 2,3,and 4.5. the Soccer time Seamasters,Flight master, just so many great designs. Now I find their stuff very boring
Fairly certain that omega execs don’t give a crap what anyone thinks. I’m sure they have millions of dollars of market research suggesting that joe nobody wants a shiny watch. Dommage.
Hi John, in my case, because of this new line is that I'm looking at it, I never cared about the teka dial., these dials are great. Well, for me. Greetings from MX
The bracelet is amazing. Get a diver if you want all that other stuff bro. It’s a GADA watch not a diver or sport. They have great options for that other shit
I like the idea of this new line, but it's definitely not for me. I know it's common to harp on Omega for their different variants, but I think the issue is just how the lines are presente/organized. The AT is already a part of the Seamaster family, but now the AT has regular, World Timer, Ultralight, Small Seconds, Chronograph, GMT, and now the Shades collection. There's a bit of an identity crisis going on here.
When I first saw the less textured dials I was keen on this line of watches. Really disappointed when I found out it was fully polished and the price is ludicrous.
I think the bracelet looks great. My issue with it is the lack of adjustability. Other brands can do it with a butterfly deployant so I am sure Omega can too.
John is a OMEGA HATER😂😂😂😂😂😂 DEAR OMEGA PLEASE PAY THESE UTUBERS SO THEY CAN STOP HATING. DEAR OMEGA YOU HAVE THE MONEY. YOUR WATCHES ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting. At various angles, yours looked gold; more copper on their site. And the price is ridiculously too high. I don’t care how brightly polished it is.
Saw the terracotta at the Omega boutique. Liked the dial but at the end didn't pull the trigger. Couldn't put my finger on it then but it was the bracelet. I didn't like the polished part. Just a brushed one would have been better plus a micro adjustment.
I prefer the older references too or references still in production but with different finishing and with the 8900 caliber with the jumping hour feature
It appears to me that they expect women to be the main buyers of this watch. Hence all the bling, the frame around the date, and the president-style bracelet which I really like. I think it's a good move from Omega, to put an under-the-radar unisex offering out there. I suspect it will sell very well.
I think the best aqua terra is the Skyfall one - fully brushed bracelet, framed date window, mesmerizing dial colour and the case is more masculin with male endlink.
I couldn’t disagree more. This is exactly the bracelet (a Rolex Presidential like)I was expecting and you’re video has iincentivized me to buy the watch.
The Omega Aqua Terras compete against the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. I love Omega but am disappointed by the muted dial colors when I saw them in the boutique. The red was the most appealing, but the other pastel colors did nothing for me. Now Citizen has introduced in the US the Tsuyosa line with vibrant colors and a $450 price for a mechanical watch with a date.
Great perspective , I think the dial is great but the purpose of the watch is absolutely unclear . Is a dress or sport watch? The bracelet looks like a copy of the president bracelet from Rolex, moreover there is too much high polish for an everyday piece
I think it's pretty obvious that these are dress pieces. Those flashy dials are not tool oriented like the other aqua Terra models. I take it that these are a special edition without them calling it that. Btw Omega has made presidential bracelets before. Google the speedy Nixon bracelet.
I went into a boutique at the weekend and handled the terracotta and saffron models. Great sizes, beautiful dials that pop (especially the red of the terracotta), but the bracelets were awful - just felt so cheap, like mid-80s Rolex jubilee bracelets.
They’re ruining the aqua terra line. Doing what all the other brands are doing these days-turning their sport and tool watches into feminine dress watches. Sad. Maybe someday tool watches will come back. Until then, I’m not buying.
On their site this model is listed as ladies and has this description: „This 38 mm model, has a symmetrical case and crown in fully polished stainless steel…”.
These watches from the Shades collection are wonderful, beautiful, very eye catching. If I could afford it, I would buy one.
All those reasons are why I want that particular Aqua Terra.
When (if) Omega makes a serious mistake, I will enthusiastically call them out. This is not it.
The $12K titanium world timer is definitely IT. Ridiculous
Well said.
Agree. About to get this watch.
I was under the impression that this Aqua Terra was a Date Just killer..still waiting for my Terracotta so great
No micro adjustment clasp is a disgrace
It’s a butterfly clasp. They don’t work that way.
@@ChawnCrawley Omega has enough R&D dollars to make it work.
Grand seiko do it and they are applauded for there polishing. Omega do it and they are criticised
Because it looks one note and blingy. GS polishing is better.

I don’t like that Omega downgraded the Aqua Terra 38 with the 8800 movement from the 8900. Nice dial colors, smaller case size but that’s it.
Might be a size issue
they downgraded the movement, but they added white gold indices and markers… so they upped the precious metal game instead of the rhodium markers..
I have seen this watch at the ad and i must say its stunning
I love this line.
I'm thinking of buying this watch

It's looks and feels much expensive than the standard AT. The standard AT definitely doesn't feel like a £5,500 watch
I like this watch because of that 😄. It’s so hard to choose between Aqua Terra vs OP 36
At a time it seems people are preferring less high polishing why would Omega go the other direction. Tone def.

It covers work and play well. You can wear it to work or you can wear it by the pool or while you are out at a restaurant.
After seeing the release of these new ATs, I love my silver dial 38mm on rubber even more. So much more character.
Great channel !

because every watch with a butterfly clasp has NO micro adjustments… that’s how this bracelet and clasp works..
I just got the watch on a green dial. Love it
I wished that the Terra Cotta color came in the 41mm size
What a winger
Seems like they are going in the direction of Grand Seiko maybe.
More expensive than a Rolex ? Maybe I need to re think this !
If they did the Aqua Terra range with a no date option I would be very interested.
I would even rather they went back to the date window at 3 o'clock.
me too. I hate Date on any watch, it’s literally useless and make the appearance asymmetric.
They should have kept the 8900 movement instead of the less capable and cheaper 8800. It is a clear downgrade.
They are absolutely looking at Grand Seiko on these.
The date wheel stands out like a sore thumb.
I love Omega over Rolex. I even love Tudor over Rolex. Rolex cases are too big and clunky.
