The Bienne-based watchmaker presents three new Seamaster Aqua Terra, featuring a black lacquered dial and available in three case sizes.
The black dial can be considered a true watchmaking classic, often considered the expression of the most sober and essential elegance, especially in the three-ball models, with or without a date display. Omega therefore decided to celebrate this traditional design element with the launch of three Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M, available in sizes of 34, 38 or 41 mm case, and equipped with glossy black dials with a lacquered finish.
The Seamaster Aqua Terra collection is certainly the most understated within Omega's dive model range. The three models visible here are powered by manufacture Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibres and they all use a steel case and bracelet.
Models with 38 and 41 mm cases use trapezoidal hour markers and a date window, while the one with the 34 mm case has hull-shaped hour markers and a circular date window. Another small difference is the absence of the sexagesimal scale for the 34 mm case model.
In all cases, hands and indices are treated with a luminescent substance. The sapphire glass protection of the dial is always sapphire and subjected to an external and internal anti-reflective treatment.
