This classic Omega Aqua Terra stainless steel men's Swiss quartz watch, part of Omega's Seamaster line, allows you to set sail with confidence and style to points unknown. Highly accurate, the timepiece features a large, round silver stainless steel watch case with a rhodium-plated finish that blends brushed and polished surfaces, measuring 39.2mm (1.54 inches) wide.
Framing the deep blue dial background are a slightly raised, highly polished bezel, thin silver Dauphine hands, and stick dial markers in a silver tone, along with small minute indexes. Additional features include a date display at 3 o'clock, an end-of-battery-life indicator, and up to a 36-month power reserve. The scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal and water resistance to 150 meters (500 feet) ensure the watch's durability.
Completing the design is a silver stainless steel link bracelet band with polished highlights, secured by a fold-over clasp. The adjustable band measures 7 inches in length.
The Omega Story
Omega's watchmaking legacy began in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt started hand-assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The Omega name, however, didn't emerge until 1894, after Louis Brandt's passing and the takeover of the watchmaking traditions by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt.
Over the years, Omega watches have become synonymous with glamour, worn by esteemed screen and sports stars. The Omega Seamaster, in particular, is renowned for being the watch of choice for James Bond. Current ambassadors for the brand include Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.
Omega's reputation extends beyond mere fashion, as demonstrated by the Omega Speedmaster chronograph's storied history. In 1965, this model was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions," being the only wristwatch to have withstood the U.S. space agency's rigorous tests, including extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperature ranges from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The Speedmaster's greatest moment came on July 20, 1969, at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface during the Apollo 11 mission.
Today, Omega is known for its meticulous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance, and vibration-resistance.
In summary, the Omega Aqua Terra stainless steel men's Swiss quartz watch, with its precision Swiss-Quartz movement, durable construction, and rich heritage, is a testament to Omega's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Whether navigating the boardroom or the open seas, this timepiece offers both style and substance.
