When last we visited Omega’s sporty-elegant Seamaster Aqua Terra family, right on the eve of the thankfully waning pandemic era last March, the big news was the debut of two vibrant new dial colors. This year, Omega gives the Aqua Terra a further facelift, replacing the core models’ central seconds hand with a new small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock encircled by an applied ring, and offering this new iteration in two case sizes and a variety of dial colors.

Omega’s latest Seamaster Aqua Terra models are available with two-tone dials and small seconds subdials.

The Seamaster Aqua Terra collection for 2021 includes no less than 10 models in 38-mm cases, two of which are positioned as “luxury” models; as well as nine pieces at 41 mm in size, including four “luxury” versions. In addition to the most prominent new feature, the aforementioned 6 o’clock subdials, the dials on the latest models offer subtle sun-brushed shades and two-tone teak patterns, accented on some models with either diamonds or applied sailboat hull-shaped hour markers with iridescent mother-of-pearl inlays. The small seconds subdials intersect with the 6 o’clock date display that has been retained from preceding models of the Aqua Terra.
