The Omega Aqua Terra uses a co-axial escapement which is designed to help the watch be more consistently accurate and need fewer service visits as time goes on. The Rolex Explorer movement is well tested and people generally find the brand often will easily go well beyond 5 years between maintenance visits. Either way I think you will get a durable, reliable watch. For me, I would pick the Aqua Terra in this case just because it's so much cheaper. In "real life" terms, outside of the date function, there is really not much difference between these two models, so I would just pick whichever one of the two you like best.
