The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Master Chronometer, limited to just 87 pieces worldwide, is the crown jewel of the Swiss brand’s redesigned Aqua Terra collection and features yet another new Master Chronometer-certified in-house movement. It’s also this week’s Watch to Watch.
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer is limited to just 87 pieces.
The eye-catching dial of the Aqua Terra Worldtimer consists of two levels. The first is an exterior section made of a sand-blasted platinum-gold alloy, with applied yellow-gold indices treated with Super-LumiNova and a two-row circle printed with the names of world cities in three distinct colors.
