Made the mistake of looking at this beauty and cannot stop thinking about it. Would have to sell something to buy but this really took me by surprise.

Love the 8901 calibre with the quick set, the strap is very comfortable, the deployant feels perfect. The weight is very good for a sold gold piece, very wearable but nice. The look in the bright sun is stunning, blue is my favorite color and this ticks all the boxes, sporty, dressy, water, office . . .

Thoughts?

Looks great to me! If you love it you know.

1William · 2 July 2019, 08:45 PM

I really like it and the gold and blue work well together. I would have to buy this watch at the right price as secondary values will be difficult if you try to move this watch. I would see what the seller would do. If new, I would have to be in the 25-30% off retail. If pre-owned, 30-40% off msrp if complete. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Thanks, price is not an issue, I would need to sell something I own to keep the collection even and pay for it.

Not sure what I am going to do

Bizcut1 · 2 July 2019, 10:52 PM

That is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen.

I must have it, too.

AEC · 3 July 2019, 12:29 AM

Yeah, I'm a fan of the rubber straps on these new Aqua Terra models. Very appealing. Let us know how it goes

42itus · 3 July 2019, 04:44 AM

That looks really nice!

beshannon · 3 July 2019, 08:43 AM

Thanks all, really sang to me.

The 8901 calibre is amazing. Cannot wait to get some macro shots when I am home.

Self-winding movement with Co-Axial escapement. Certified Master Chronometer, approved by METAS, resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gauss. Free-sprung balance with silicon balance spring, two barrels mounted in series, automatic winding in both directions. Time zone function. 18K SednaTM gold rotor and balance bridge and luxury finish with Geneva waves in arabesque. Power reserve: 60 hours.

Just some quick shots but I am really happy, the rose/blue combo is amazing and the fit and finish are really next level. The rubber strap is really comfortable and the deployment is superb. Really like the jump hours which makes date changes easy.

Full review when I get a chance

Looks excellent. They finish these movements very nicely for a large-scale manufacture. The rose gold rotor and bridge is a nice touch to go with that case

beshannon · 4 July 2019, 07:15 AM

Quick lume shot

JayHantz · 4 July 2019, 04:44 PM

Congratulations and it is really a stunner. I can say this one was never on my radar until reading this thread. I may have to start some “research...”

Thanks, doing "research" was my first mistake as well

MikeyV · 7 July 2019, 01:56 AM

Love Aqua Terras, love Omega's rose gold, love the blue, love their cool rubber straps, and the clasp is awesome. Love the crystal back, love the rose gold touches on the movement.

Frikin spectacular. Well done, Sir.

beshannon · 19 July 2019, 03:34 AM

Adding a few macros

Still loving this watch, it has rekindled my passion at least for a time!
