Big congratulations on your new purchase. The Red looks stunning! And thanks for the shout out as well 🙌🏼
Any time! 👍
Great review showing the watch wearing a suit in everyday situations like having lunch. Helps to imagine it for myself.
You criticized rhodium hands/indices over white gold but Rhodium is much more expensive. I own the 41 AT and purchased it over the date just. There is a good $2000 difference and I believe a better watch. I understand your clasp criticism but I find it very easy. I think you did a great job !!reviewing this model. Thank you for your work!
I should have done more research. Thanks for correcting me. I did not realize that rhodium was also a precious metal, very expensive, and corrosion resistant.
Interesting point. However, the gold indices on the dj are solid, whereas these are rhodium “plated.”
My guess is the manufacturing costs are similar with this in mind. But I’m no expert on such matters.
@@Explorer40mm Usually, in other types of jewelry, Rhodium is plated OVER white gold.
@@gwcrispi that’s a fair statement. I stand corrected on that point. However, I prefer the lustre of gold. The yellow incides on the silver dial Oyster Perpetual are beautiful.
Love the red dial. Great choice. I would love one in Ice Blue.
The Atlantic Blue is nice too. The Terra Cotta Red and Saffron Yellow are very bold.
I think they raised the price before they even released it to the public.
True, that's a good point.
That watch shouldn't cost more than a seamaster
@@LuanNguyen-rj1btyeah, I agree with you... it doesn't make any sense
Great review. One of the first out there for an actual owner. Recently subscribed and added bell. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I wanted to get it out sooner, but this one took an extra long time to edit.
Yup, $400 increase..I’ve waited two years for mine which finally shipped from my AD..but I gotta say the way it feels on the wrist, the wait was worth it…so smart
The classic price-hike-while you-wait. This stings.
I thought about confronting my AD for a refund on the increase amount, but I didn’t want to risk waiting another year for the Watch to be delivered..
I’m looking at the 41 bicolour with rubber strap as I’ve got a 8.5 inch wrist and I think the 38 would be too small but the watch looks amazing,thanks ❤️🏴👍
Congrats and a watch far more eye catching than I thought it would. I thought of getting an AT but can't live with an Omega bracelet until the day they offer micro adjust.
I don’t think they will change the clasp on the AT. I think they want to keep it low-profile… like the President bracelet.
Thorough, honest review, as always. Truly appreciate that. No doubt Ω makes beautiful watches and superb movements. But, idk…given the recent, significant QC issues, price increases, wretched value retention, supersaturation of some models in the market, etc., I just can’t see myself buying an Ω for the foreseeable future.
The movement is great, but yes, it should have been priced lower.
Your loss
I tried on a blue AT at my AD. The one with the decking style dial. I was impressed by the watch but agree with your criticisms. The clasp is a big no and the price is too high. I wasn't so keen on the polished centre links either. Close but put my name down for a Rolex DJ instead. Having said that the watch looks great on your wrist.
Thanks. I forgot to mention but this AT is a very shiny watch. A lot of polished surfaces. Maybe I would prefer a little more brushing. Even the brushed outer links look shiny.
Nice splash of color.
🔥 Fire Engine Red. Surface of Mars. Bloody Mary.
An entry level IWC Mark XX with steel bracelet is cost 6150 with basically no applied dial fishing (just a print sunburst) , no display case back, no much of polishing and case finishing. By comparison, omega still provides a lot value. Best comparison definitely will be Rolex Op, which has less case and dial finishing, better materials and bracelets design and higher price but holds better in value. The dial of this new omega is a show of the watch 🎉🎉🎉
Good points. The red dial is the main attraction of this Omega. The transparent case back is a plus, as is the METAS certified movement. But it’s a SHINY watch. And the clasp is not great.
If there were a red dial New OP36 available at the AD, I would prefer that hands down. Better clasp, brushed oyster bracelet, dependable movement, white gold surrounds, value retention.
Bit of a reach there to dunk on IWC. The Mark XX has over 100 hours of power reserve and ticks at 4 Hz, vs this Omega's 3.5 Hz.
If it helps, rhodium is the most expensive metal on earth. Also,, rhodium is used to coat white gold to make it shine more brilliantly. Great video. I also like this color very much.
Yes, I found that out later, after I made the video.
The date wheel framing was redesigned last minute, pushing back production significantly. I've never seen Omega do a thing like that, perhaps they were under a lot of pressure to get too many new models out at once, when this and the Speedmaster 57 were announced.
that’s what I heard before, but can you confirm? seems to me that redesigning the date window should not take 1 year to do.
my Omega Boutique told me that the delay was due to the unanticipated difficulty in producing the red dial with the new technique.
@@sc1 oh, that's interesting. The red dial is made different from the other ones, that's right.
Friend, clean the watch! I had to stop watching the video because I couldn't stand looking at such a beautiful watch in such desperate need of a wipe down.
I didn’t notice the huge thumbprint on the crystal until after it was posted and it was too late by then.
They had to redo the date window, that’s why it took them so long to finally release them.
Just look at the originally released photos, it will become obvious.
Enjoy the watch
I know, but 15 months? It shouldn’t have taken that long. The original date window must have been just a proto-type, because they were never released for general sale. It shouldnt take that long to modify a proto-type into a final model.
Some one else mentioned the China lockdown.
The issue probably had to do with the supplier of the dials. Hangups on that end could quickly lead delays with launch.
Yep, could have been supply chain issues with the dial.
They decided to frame the date dial at the last minute. That pushed back production considerably.
Such a nice watch, was looking for a red dial 😮
Totally agree with them boxes, way too big just an excuse to raise the price, how many of them boxes can one have side by side
Have you confirmed or Omega advised that indices are rhodium not white gold? I believe the 8500 AT has white gold.
I was just going by the product page on the Omega website. In the description, it says "There is a date window at 6 o'clock and rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova."
Thank you for the honest review. The watch looks stunning
Glad you liked it!
Very nice
thanks!
Really a lovely watch classy not that pricey, I hope I'll buy one someday, even if its pre-owned
Nice dial, all right...
👍
Would the bracelet be compatible with the old Aqua Terra, which has a date at 3 o'clock? and vertical teak pattern?
Another excellent video! As always I enjoyed the musical interlude. Anything new on the next Patek? Have you visited the AD again?
Sometimes I just randomly pick a tune, but the second song turned out to be a good one.
I haven’t had time to drive down to the Patek AD since about March, but I will be going at the end of July to ask for the charcoal Calatrava 5226G again. Any tips on how to go about it?
I would make an appointment, talk about the new Patek watches for 2023. Show your interest in the brand, I am sure you have told them about your Rolex collection and that you are now focusing on Patek. At the end of the visit you can ask about how things are progressing as regards to the 5226. I am sure you will get the watch eventually but it may take more time. Good luck!
@@gregsaga682 Yes, I talked about my Rolex collection with the AD owner (I wore in my Blue Sky-Dweller and Full Yellow Gold Daytona at my two visits), and I said that I'm ready to move on to a higher quality tier watch. He commented that I already have some hard-to-get Rolex pieces.
I mentioned that the blue dial on my 5205G looks even better than my Sky-Dweller. But he is also a Rolex AD, (and he was wearing a White Dial Steel Daytona) so I'm not sure if he took that kindly. (He said it's a matter of preference.)
I said I would like to come back and purchase another Patek, and he seemed agreeable to that. But no calls yet.
I suppose I will need to make more in-person visits.
@@sc1 Wear your Patek 5205 next time you visit. As you say, make more in-person visits, your 5226 will come your way and after that a Nautilus or an Aquanaut if you like those watches.
Looks more like a Grand Seiko than Omega. I prefer the GS red dial though. Very nice watch though.
Btw rhodium is the most expensive metal in the world. It's worth 15x more than gold. AP and patek (the gold standard) don't use 904L steel so why would Omega? 904L isn't harder steel it's only more corrosion resistant but, much harder to shape. Not a good choice for lyor lugs.
I love the red one. Compaire it with the Bulova Jet Star in Red, my daily watch
Good watch...shame about the price....pricing of the AT is now grim
I don't mind the price too much. Prefer it to be lower of course, back down to $5,700, but obviously this was not a deal-breaker for me. I would never be able to find all of these features elsewhere for a lower price: fiery red sunburst dial, METAS certified movement 2.4 sec/day, quick-set date function, 15K Gauss MR, 150m WR, president style bracelet, see-through case back, sapphire ARC crystal, applied logo, compact 38mm case, etc, etc.
Looks great on you! Nice review.
You were right about how good this dial is. I know I can trust your advice on my Omega. Appreciate the allocation very much. Thank you!! 😊
@@sc1 You are very welcome and glad we could find it a good wrist!
@ S C, can you please leave the link for where Omega post their test results by watch as shown @8:13? I did not find this under the search bar on the Omega Watch website, thanks!
You will need to signup for an account with Omega and register your watch purchase. In the top right corner under your account icon, there is a menu that includes "My Watches" Click this, then it comes to a page where you can click "See my watch test results" for each of your watches.
@@sc1 thank you.
I've tried the previous version on several times (especially the white dial) but I feel like it sits a bit thick on the wrist (which could be the case design) but in reading your measurements, the OP is not much thinner. Otherwise a nearly perfect GADA. Maybe I should revisit the idea of the AT again, as I am _still_ waiting for either an OP or Explorer.
It does feel thicker than the OP, but part of that is an illusion because the AT bracelet is thinner and more of a contrast. The OP has a thicker bracelet so it blends in better. My measurements of the thickness were close.
lol. A red dial can never be a GADA, there are times when you dont want a full attention seeking watch
@tngchinghwa yeah, definitely not red.. I was thinking the white/silver dial
Very nice collection!
Thanks!
@@sc1 thank you for the detailed review.
Great review 👏🏻
👍
Still can’t find these in ADs. Also over the last 5 months I’ve been to 5 O. boutiques (3 in Switzerland, 2 in the US) and none had an Aqua Terra Cotta. WTH?
That is crazy. makes me feel they are deliberately limiting production.
Why don’t they make these shades colors in 41 mm?
To be honest I think the Grand Seiko is a better made watch ; if you look at the hands and face intricacy they are unmatched
Respect to the finishing of Grand Seiko… but their bracelets are sub-par. They still feel chintzy.
They don’t offer a similar red dial watch: their new red dial watch is Monstrously Thick.
And I prefer the Omega Master Chronometer Mechanical Movement over the Quartz Spring Drive.
Nice review👍🏻
Thank you 🙂
I'd like to see a side by side comparison between the Aqua Terra terracotta red and the Rolex OP Coral Red.
I would too, but I don’t have the red Rolex OP
@@sc1 I once saw a Rolex OP Coral Red at an AD. Of course it was display only. Some people call it the Tobacco and I could see why. It had that color about it. I would imagine that in a side by side comparison the Aqua Terra would come out the clear winner. Omega stold the idea from Rolex and made it better.
@@sananselmospacescienceodys7308 I wish I could have confirmed that, but I have never seen the Coral Red OP in-person. The pictures look very similar to me, except the Terra Cotta has a sun-ray finish. But that is a positive, since sometimes the sun-ray finish disappears at certain angles, then shines at other angles. The Omega dial is more dynamic.
3:00 why would you put your watch on the greasy wrapper, then u have to wash your watch after that
It’s water resistant, it can handle a splash of pizza sauce
Have soup next time so you can test its water resistance. I wanna see!
I love the box
Great review
thanks!
Why not 41mm
I have a tiny wrist
Great 👍
Great watch! This looks awesome and suits you and your collection very well.
1 thing I have to disagree: for my taste the boxes have to be luxurious and big 😅
Edit: I think the prize is acceptable if you compare it to a datejust or OP
🙏🏽. Love the dial color, but not sure if it can compare toe-to-toe with my OP. I just like the Oyster bracelet much more.
Surely a smaller less luxurious, less costly box would be better - replaced by, for example a spare strap. The cost of a strap would match the production cost of these 'excessive' boxes. After all most, if not all of theses boxes end up out of sight in an attic or a cupboard 😉.
If you’re comparing Omega with Rolex so closely then there’s only one winner. The drawbacks of this piece outweigh the positives. Also the aggressive price increases of Omega are decreasing the bang for the buck. If they had micro adjustment and it was 41mm with that lovely bright red dial I’d take a closer look but this piece given the price doesn’t make the cut.
Nice watch wayy to overpriced..
Omega prices are set to increase again in July
@@sc1 thats crazy ... and is must say iam liking the breitling watches and tag heuer watches more
Great watch but way to expensive.
Hallow center links. Get a Rolex instead
