The omega aqua-terra belongs to the seamaster line. It is water resistant to 150m and has a see through sapphire mineral back so that the beautiful co-axial movement with a free sprung balance can be seen. It has a 44 hour power reserve, and can go 10 years without a service. I have the regular sized omega aqua terra (38mm). It is available in 35mm, 38mm and 41 mm sizes. Firstly, i think that these are really beautiful classy watches, which feel much dressier than the SMP. they are very solid watches as you would expect from omegas, and well built. The clasp is a hidden clasp as you can see from my photos which gives the watch much smoother lines. I own the TT aqua terra anyone else like these AT? what are your thoughts?: here are the pics:

I love the AT line. If Omega would make one with a Power Reserve meter, I'd jump on it!

Let me add my AquaTerra to the thread! The Aqua Terra Chronograph, 43 mm. 150 meters water resistant with operational pushers all the way to maximum depth. Powered by Omega 3301, which is the less decorated 3303 found in the Broad Arrow. The 3301 is identical to the 3303 from a technical standpoint, with the only different being cosmetic. It was designed for a solid back as opposed to a display back. don't laugh at my washing machine !!

Ahhhh the AT, the hands, the dials, the cases, and the bracelets: perfection

If i would ever buy a new Omega, it would be without a question the black Aqua Terra Co-Axial (38-41mm) with sapphire caseback, on a brown leather strap, i would also want a Speedmaster. I love to see these pictures!

Lovely pics Mamas and Chip, Whilst I love the Sea Monster is on my Bond caseback, another watch with a display back would be nice...love seeing the movement. That black AT is very classy indeed Chip. Not completely sold on the clasp yet; but I haven't seen one in real life though to examine Rambler
