Aqua Terra 38mm Blue 220.12.38.20.03.001

What is your opinion of the Seamaster Aqua Terra 38mm? I have wanted a blue dial on/off for a while but cannot find the one that hits all my criteria. I went to the Omega AD a few months ago to browse and did not see this in person.

How does it wear/feel?

Is this a daily or does the blue make it stand out at times?

Is the dial dark or medium in most lighting?

Feel free to post wrist shots of your own. Thanks

OMEGA SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA 38 MM

I think the Aqua Terra is totally a daily watch! Mine is, and it's blue. Many Aqua Terra owners refer to it as a "goes anywhere, does anything" watch.

It's versatile and comfortable. It performs remarkably well. It's classy in a low-key way. Sure, people will notice it every now and then, but they're only going to think what a classy, handsome watch it is

I love the new Aqua Terra blue 38mm. It has been on my radar ever since it was launched last year. Just ordered it from Topper who is my go-to Omega AD. Can't wait to pick it up next week.

Looks nice. Though I'd lose that strap and put it on a bracelet

Saw it at the omega boutique and the 38mm is perfect. I liked it much better than the 41mm version. Also the one with grey dial and blue markers is awesome

Do they have the grey dial and blue markers in 38mm? I didn't see that at the AD.

Looks great, it’s between the blue and grey for me

I picked up my blue just before X'mas. The blue is just 'wow'. I love what they have done to the dial with horizontal stripes and date window. Just a quick picture below. I have to get the bracelet sized.

Really great looking watch, with the rubber strap as well, is a killer combo.

The AT is a beautiful watch. A deal breaker for me is the arrow on the minute hand. It doesn’t look right to me. It would look better on the hour hand or better yet with no arrow at all.

I agree (although it wasn't a dealbreaker for me). The AT is my favorite watch and I think it's beautiful, but I'd like it better if the minute hand just looked like a longer version of the AT's hour hand. Barring that, I wish they'd lume the shaft of the minute hand, not just the arrowhead; I find the current minute arrowhead lume takes a bit of time to find in the dark, while the hour hand is much easier to spot.

Very nice. Is the deployant for the 38mm Aqua Terra a 16mm clasp?
