Just about , wish they would do a quartz version ( if possible ), it would be half the price and wipe the floor with the competition at that price point .
@@terryfenner8142 Brilliant.You just saved me the same comment.Why Omega dropped quartz was a backwards move.I prefer quartz and they made a great quartz.
Nope, not worth the money, bracelet isn't great and the small seconds doesn't suit this style of watch, thr previous model on leather and rubber looks way better, the Aqua terra shouldn't cost more than 3.5 - £4k
@@terryfenner8142 I think Omega are heavily trying to increase their perception of luxury. Their price is an easy way of doing that. A cheaper quartz watch might be seen as "cheapening" the brand. This is one of the reasons I love Grand Seiko, they have the confidence to do it. But then again, they have their in-house 9F movement, whereas Omega used an ETA quartz movement, which isn't strictly in-house. I too would love to see them bring it back. Breitling has some awesome quartz watches.
@@TheSilDante 38mm would likely be pretty small on the average wrist. But I do think that people should buy watches that fit their wrists. To each their own I suppose.
I chose both an Aqua Terra and Planet Ocean! Love them both equally! Magnificent timepieces! Great review and I agree with everyone of your points and criticisms. Have a great weekend
I’ve had the 38mm Aqua Terra cal 8800 for about a year, and I actually love the quick date function over the quick hour (the only functional difference between the 38mm and 41mm versions). It is more practical if you don’t wear your watch for a couple days and need to more quickly set the date. Otherwise fully agree, it’s a great watch you never grow out of, and the design/movement is brilliant. Cheers Adrian! Thanks for showing this stunner
Omega’s current lineup of watches are just plain brilliant by all measures. Technically, aesthetically, selection and more importantly, availability best time instruments today.
Well done, thanks for reviewing, As an owner of the 8900 version of this, your review compliments my thoughts. One thing I would like to add here is Omega's choice of diverse colours in the range of small seconds, not just on the dial but the rubber straps that compliment them. This reflects itself across the line of the small seconds and especially into the Sedna gold versions where I think the blue dial and rubber strap really shine.
Not keen on the Seamaster 300 frankly, but the Aqua Terra 41, original or small seconds, is in a class of its own. The time zone function is particularly useful, especially for us here in England. To clarify, I think this watch is excellent. 😀
I have both Seamaster Diver 300 and Aqua Terra 41mm (three hands). Both blue, but the blue is quite different. Love them. Prefer the three-hander over the small seconds for its clean and elegant design. Also the big second hand is more useful than the small one.
For a long time I was an SMP300 loyalist, and I was dead set on it being my first “luxury” watch. I have to say, more and more as time goes on, I am absolutely drawn towards the Aqua Terra. It is truly a beautiful watch.
Hi Adrian, your content just gets better and better. As a lighting professional can I suggest you add a backlight in your studio? Having a backlight on your head and shoulders would just pull you out of the background a little bit. Keep the good stuff coming.
I went into the Omega retailer recently to check out this exact watch. I’m not sure if this was just my personal experience but they were freely willing to knock off 300 from the price with little negotiation. Something to perhaps bare in mind with the price tag. I do really like this watch but the date interrupting the small seconds is something aesthetically I don’t know if I can get my head around.
Great review and video as always, Adrian! Completely agree with you on the clasp design features and lack of adjustment. Although the watch is stunning and technically superb, it is precisely that what has kept me from buying it.
Tried this on today along with the blue on the rubber . It is superb , gorgeous and sits beautifully . My only issue is deciding which one to go for . As an OP41 and datejust 41 owner I think I am far more impressed by this . The dial is simple but yet beautiful and also very interesting. Agree my smp 300 won’t be going anywhere either but I feel this is a must .
I love the 38mm Aqua Terra but wish it also had the jumping hour feature on that size. Only the previous generation had the jumping hour and you’re so right it is soooo much more useful than a quick set date imo
Love the Aqua Terra but I think I prefer the non small seconds. Your spot on about the bracelet though Adrian all brushed makes more sense as would an adjustable clasp. Came close to buying one but they are a little pricey even pre-owned. Oh I do prefer that to the Seamaster but the price difference is still a mystery to me.
My wife and I bought Aqua Terra.mine -38 mm with gold bezel and crown. It also has a blue rubber strap with gold Center inlay at the pin. Hers is 36 mm so I with white porcelain wave Dial and stainless bracelet with butterfly clasp. I now consider my Aqua Terra my go to fun watch! I know my wife loves hers as she wears it every day. The watches are very versatile and easily attainable. I love the fact that you can get them anyway you want. All in all I think Omega did a great job! I would highly recommend this watch. Go through the catalog and get it the way you want it. I got lucky they had just what I wanted at my local A.D.
I just watched a SKX Pepsi bezel bleaching video you did in 2018. Great video then but your production and content has come on incredibly since 2018. Inspiring stuff.
Very nice watch although, I totally agree with the criticism of the lack of bracelet extension or other way to micro adjust. This is the same one I have of Grand Seiko. Just unacceptable at their price points as I can never find a happy medium with my GS' bracelet and that's a shame considering the fine quality of their bracelets.
Love it. But one thing a love about mechanical watches is watching the seconds hand to slowly sweep around the dial. With small seconds that goes away (or at least shrinks substantially). Tough choice
Beautiful watch in every way, extremely appealing. I do have the white smp 300 an actually became slightly underwhelmed recently because of the bracelet. Whacked it on a no time to die nato an now the watch has come alive. Just seems to tick every box, but I’d love the aqua terra for more dressy occasions especially with the tapering bracelet. Cheers 👍
The AT is the perfect "one watch" for me. So much so I bought two: a quartz (on a NATO strap) to wear as a daily and a co-axial (blue, on a bracelet) for going out.
Great review, hard choice I went with the Omega Seamster 300 2021. I think Omega are getting it very right with design and build quality plus you can actually buy one.
Great review ... love the Aqua terra ... So much I got the grey dial with blued hands etc. But I also didn't like the bracelet so I went with the blue rubber strap and it's fabulous.
The way that the small seconds has that bold black surround makes it a modern feature. This aquaterra is a bold, sporty watch. So different from the SMP 300,which I have. And yes, I would have both.
I went to a boutique to buy a Planet Ocean, and walked out with the Silver and blue Aqua Terra. If there had been a small seconds version there, I would have bought that. But in no way am I unhappy with what I have. Worth every penny.
So happy you did this video after requesting it a long time ago. Great review and go's well with your jeans and t shirt. Was worried about being a 41mm but it doesn't look too big on your wrist. Looks like a beautiful watch when in front of you.
Great review. I have been considering an Aqua Terra for a while as an addition to my collection. I went to my local AD in London and tried a few on but they didn’t have the centre seconds. I found it a bit showy and like you prefer brushed surfaces so I won’t be buying it. What surprised me though was the Railmaster. I loved the black vertical brushed version which is all brushed case without a shiny bit to it. I also loved the herringbone cloth strap. This is a totally different look to what’s out there. Interestingly this year is the Aqua Terras 20th anniversary and wonder if a few special editions might become available soon.
I love the the new Aqua Terra. The white face with blue markers and small seconds is stunning. I don't think Ill ever give up my Seamaster Professional though. Both could happily live in my collection.
Brilliant watch. Couldn’t choose either to be honest, have a PO and a Seamaster Diver 300m. Almost bought an AT a year ago. Hope to add one in the near future. But not sure about the small seconds. Brilliant room and lighting by the way. Very professional setup (obviously 😊).
I was never drawn to small seconds watches.. this one..after seeing this video..changed my mind .. i think i need to give a try to small seconds from now own.. although it will be some time till i get this particular one.. (addition to the grail watch collection.. tick! ) Keep up the great work Adrian. cheers!
Like the look of the watch but Having no clasp adjustment is a deal breaker for myself . Really enjoying your channel it’s 1st class , you put things across very well loving your laid back attitude 👌
Recently sold my 39mm Explorer and got an omega AT instead. I don't miss the Explorer at all. The level of detail in the AT is just so impressive to me, and it's such an attractive looking watch!
I own both a 39 mm Explorer and a 41 mm A T. Let me tell you Adrian that I wear the A T much more often. I'm fortunate to have both, but, I kinda wish I had purchased the A T before I picked up the Explorer. I might not have gotten the Explorer in that case. The only question I have is why is the A T more expensive at retail than the Seamster Professional?
@@BJ-md8es Omega bracelets are not that great, they feel cheap. Rolex bracelets are in a league of their own, they feel a lot better made than Omega bracelets.
I have thought that before too it’s the same movement I just assume they stagger the prices as to not have two different watches at the same price point. My guess is seamaster is the “cheaper” tool watch and the AT is like a step up in the luxury sense
@@BJ-md8es I opted for the rubber strap. I wasn't confident that I'd get a good fit in the butterfly clasp. It's a nicer look on a bracelet but tougher fit. There are no micro adjusts on the Omega bracelet.
A very nice watch. Love Omega. Got one with 2500, quite nice and doesn't haveanti reflective coating on top of the glass thus doesn't scratch. Brushed bracelet and thin.
Got my Dad an early Aqua Terra quartz for Xmas, paid just £1300 for it, a bargain imho & he loves it. These small seconds are gorgeous - would prefer it without a date, but I could live with it in this case. Suspect I'll have one in the future... Spectacular watch, great review. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
I saw the luminescence at the very tip of the small seconds hand. This is a very nice touch. I have a 300M and I am in love with it. I might wait on the aqua Terra for discounts in the future.
It actually is magical if you rub the bezel 3x counter clockwise and say “ seamaster, seamaster, make me a wish” then you get 3 wishes granted but you have to time it at 11:11 pm exactly
Aqua Terra over the Seamaster (bold choice I know!) Imo it's more versatile as it looks less sporty so can be worn for more occasions. I'm also a sucker for a small seconds too! 👌
Great looking watch again from Omega. Missed a chance to showcase it on some B&J straps tho 😉. Free plug, the straps Adrian sells in the online shop are fantastic. Treat yourself!
I like the look of this new Omega Aqua Terra. And I agree with you, Adrian, the smaller "seconds," dial does add a bit of flair to it's look. The size, speaking for myself, is just the right size...41mm, which is roughly the same size of most of my current collection of watches. This could be a future grail watch?!! Mmmm.....🙂
My big gripe with the AT is the bracelet not having any sort of micro adjust. Vacheron has the little 2mm adjust on each side of the butterfly on the overseas, I realize it is a much more expensive watch but omega should be flexing that swatch group money.
Really interesting. My wife and I have a big anniversary coming up, and we did some watch shopping over the weekend. We were originally going primarily to see the SMP 300m, but her comment to me was that it looked like all of my other watches (I have a 14060m, a Dox Sub 300, and a smattering of other dive watches). She immediately went to the AT and loved it. I always have admired it as well. It's a tough choice because I do love dive watches, but since this would be a monumental gift, I think having something that is super versatile and unlike anything else I have would be really nice. I've had a 39mm OP and 39MM Explorer before, and kind of miss having a really straightforward classic watch.
Can’t decide between this in blue on rubber strap or speedmaster on the new bracelet? Decisions decisions. Will be my first luxury Swiss watch. Needs to fit casual and smart settings. Any suggestions guys? Speedy is my fav watch but with my wrist size going up and down all week the rubber be the only one to suit me. Great review and thanks for your brilliant ongoing content. And thanks to the watch community/fans. ✌️
Nice video as usual, Adrian! I have one, top notch finishing, and yes Omega Caliber 89xx with isolated hour hand is superb function. Anyway, I think the lug to lug should be 47-48 mm, not 52.
Came close to buying an AT so many times, but just can't get over the hour hand. Looks like it's been cut off at the end, it just bothers me a little too much unfortunately. Great video.
I really like this AT with white dial! I'm not giving up my SMP to get one, but it could definitely be an addition to the collection in the near future. It's looking like it'll be this one or the Cartier Santos medium or large.
Looking hard at this watch. I tried on an Aqua Terra and loved it. Tried on the 300, which I was there to buy, and hated the bracelet. I know I can switch that out but wanting a steel bracelet sport watch.
Hmmmm well it’s nice. Looks a little like a cartoon monster!!! Those indexes are the teeth! Can’t stop seeing it now!;) There’s a military essence in this watch which I do love! This is a great shout for an alternative to those wanting a 39 Explorer for sure Adrian! Give me a broadsword handset and I think I’d be interested;) great show as always
Do you think new Aqua Terra is worth the money?
Just about , wish they would do a quartz version ( if possible ), it would be half the price and wipe the floor with the competition at that price point .
Is this lug to lug actually 52? I've seen 47 everywhere I've looked and 52 on 41 seems really large

Cheers Adrian, it's good to have you back.

Still polished midlinks and no taper to 16mm. 2 reasons why I chose the BB58 last year over one of these. Beautiful dial layout though.

Aqua Terra with bracelet extension, definitely! However, why is it more expensive than the Seamaster 300 diver?
Love the lugs and the case form of all Aqua Terras!
Thanks for the video!
I agree the small seconds keeps the dial uninterrupted
I like your mug, I'll buy some as soon as I am back home in Paris, France in May.
I'm swaying towards the aqua terra 41mm green, and with the discount at most Ad's or on the grey, its an even better watch for your money 😁
Both. They are different watches, both executed brilliantly.
Phenomenal lightplay. The dial looks magic.
It actually is magical if you rub the bezel 3x counter clockwise and say “ seamaster, seamaster, make me a wish” then you get 3 wishes granted but you have to time it at 11:11 pm exactly
Aqua Terra over the Seamaster (bold choice I know!) Imo it's more versatile as it looks less sporty so can be worn for more occasions. I'm also a sucker for a small seconds too! 👌
Great looking watch again from Omega. Missed a chance to showcase it on some B&J straps tho 😉. Free plug, the straps Adrian sells in the online shop are fantastic. Treat yourself!
I've always hated no date window frame in aquaterra, made them look cheap. Glad they are adding them now.
Beautiful watch! Love the new green 41mm AT. However when are we getting the review of your new Explorer 2 polar!? That’s the one we’re waiting for!
this white dial version with the rubber strap looks the best
that watch in the case and style of the rail master with all brush and 40 mm will be a killer !!!!
I like the look of this new Omega Aqua Terra. And I agree with you, Adrian, the smaller "seconds," dial does add a bit of flair to it's look. The size, speaking for myself, is just the right size...41mm, which is roughly the same size of most of my current collection of watches. This could be a future grail watch?!! Mmmm.....🙂
Love it. My first luxury watch was the first gen AT co-axial. No longer have it but this small seconds could bring me back! Love the brand.
That watch is my next go to Watch and will finish my Collection.
Good to see you back Adrian.
Saw it at the Geneva boutique yesterday, and love it. But have the 2503.80 and the black Millie already...

We were originally going primarily to see the SMP 300m, but her comment to me was that it looked like all of my other watches (I have a 14060m, a Dox Sub 300, and a smattering of other dive watches). She immediately went to the AT and loved it. I always have admired it as well. It's a tough choice because I do love dive watches, but since this would be a monumental gift, I think having something that is super versatile and unlike anything else I have would be really nice. I've had a 39mm OP and 39MM Explorer before, and kind of miss having a really straightforward classic watch.
And, totally worth it. I love my blue dial piece!
Can’t decide between this in blue on rubber strap or speedmaster on the new bracelet? Decisions decisions. Will be my first luxury Swiss watch. Needs to fit casual and smart settings.
Any suggestions guys?
Speedy is my fav watch but with my wrist size going up and down all week the rubber be the only one to suit me.
Great review and thanks for your brilliant ongoing content. And thanks to the watch community/fans.

Because I have a plantation I would choose the aqua terra. But for me the day date version is the one still looking around to pick one of those up.
That thing is jaw dropping gorgeous… the watch of 2021 IMHO followed closely by the ORIS big crown pointer date Calibre 403… 👌🏻
Nice video as usual, Adrian!
I have one, top notch finishing, and yes Omega Caliber 89xx with isolated hour hand is superb function.
Anyway, I think the lug to lug should be 47-48 mm, not 52.
Came close to buying an AT so many times, but just can't get over the hour hand. Looks like it's been cut off at the end, it just bothers me a little too much unfortunately. Great video.
I really like this AT with white dial! I'm not giving up my SMP to get one, but it could definitely be an addition to the collection in the near future. It's looking like it'll be this one or the Cartier Santos medium or large.
Looking hard at this watch. I tried on an Aqua Terra and loved it. Tried on the 300, which I was there to buy, and hated the bracelet. I know I can switch that out but wanting a steel bracelet sport watch.
Hmmmm well it’s nice. Looks a little like a cartoon monster!!! Those indexes are the teeth! Can’t stop seeing it now!;) There’s a military essence in this watch which I do love!
This is a great shout for an alternative to those wanting a 39 Explorer for sure Adrian!
Give me a broadsword handset and I think I’d be interested;) great show as always
Great addition to the video range… What about the AQ Worldtimer GMT - ‘Yay’ or ‘Nay’?
