What do we think of the ‘Black Stallion’ nickname for this new model?! 😂 also made a slight mistake and forgot to change the text box size when showing specs!! Sorry team.

“Black Pearl”, that’s the name you should call it 😊

ID Guy dubbed it the Blaqua Terra

Blaqua Terra

In terms of daily use the main difference in the movements is that the 8800 has a quick date set whilst in the 8900 the hours jump like in a GMT which makes it better for travelling.

For me Omega struck perfection in 2003 with the Omega Seamaster AT 1st Generation, to me they are true perfection.

I felt the same way about the omega speedmaster Transition i bought in iran in 1962 ago from an AD and have enjoyed it immensely. However, I'm now considering selling it, hoping to make a good profit from it. Forget the grey market hype, I'm focusing on the value this investment can bring.

Thanks Hunter! I have a teak deck Aqua Terra and have the saffron Shades Aqua Terra - the black one is a home run - wish my two had the microadjustment. You are correct - it's perfect.....great commentary, as always...

I think it looks great! Also like the shape of the date opening.

The fascination with power reserve on an everyday watch blows my mind. Honestly I prefer the ‘teak dial’ as it offers a point of difference but that’s just personal preference I guess. The pricing for the AT still doesn’t make sense in comparison to Omega’s other models or competitors.

Love the updates to the bracelet but really not a fan of the now completely polished case. Makes the angles of the case appear less distinct and somehow looks cheaper overall. Apart from less versatility for an 150m WR everyday watch.

I had the green AT and the clasp was my one complaint about it. I am glad to see they have fixed that. This one looks really nice. Look forward to seeing it in person. Looks like quite an upgrade from the previous version.

So beautiful! I love this watch! Timeless masterpiece!

You didn’t change the text boxes for case diameter when showing the different sizes

FYI at 2:48 I may be mistaken shouldn't the case diameter be 38mm?

I wait for the white to!

I do like it, and finally a reasonable thickness, but... They offer as a million different dial colours, but still we can't have a no-date option. I would also prefer a fully brushed bracelet. As it is, I would put it in a distressed leather strap to dress it down a bit.

I ´d like to get the new strap on my current Seamaster Aqua Terra. Will it fit ?

Will this bracelet fit on the model 2 generations back (231.10.42.21.03.003)?

Harrison,Darran in princess st is looking after me on the AT small seconds blue steel and segna on rubber strap but I might have a look at the black 41 ml ,thanks ❤️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great video as always. Great watch

I got to try this AT on recently and it’s great, but for a watch that leans to being more dressy with the gloss dial and polished bezel, it’s far too thick in the 38 and 41 versions

Does anyone know if this new bracelet will fit the 41 small seconds version?

The 38mm and 41mm versions remind me of the good old Seiko SARB033. The Seiko is obviously less refined but it provides a similar look for around £400.

Got hands on this yesterday in San Francisco in the 38mm and 41mm. For me if you’re looking for a sort of do anything go anywhere option time piece this is a phenomenal option, and the dial in day light is even better than it photographs which was insane.

I still prefer the Conquest by Longines

Extremely attractive watch. The symmetry is spot on with the date at 6. Perfectly done. Georgious

For a time and date only, I can’t believe Omega can’t make these watches under 12mm thick. That double escapement needs an update before I can call it perfect.

Did you nick name these watches Black Gelding?

This is a win from omega stunning watch

Why does the bracelet not taper??

It’s a great looking watch, but far too close to dress watch territory for my taste. Now for the important questions, how many mm of on the fly adjustment does it have and can you get it for the older models?

The on the fly adjustment leaves an ugly as hell gap when its extended but apart from that I really like it. All things considered though, I reckon i would still get a used horizontal teak dial for < 1/2 price of this one

Tried it at my AD and will very likely buy it. It really does look absolutely gorgeous.

the thickness's the only flaw, they can decrease it further. 11.2 like the BB54 would be great

I'm in love with this watch

I felt the same way about the previous aqua terras, maybe the teak design wasn't for me but I saw the shades collection in an AD and I ended up getting the sandstone and it is now my everyday watch.. can't stop looking at it... I feel the same way as you do about this new black one... the only thing missing with this one is the micro adjust but it is by no means a deal breaker for me so I don't really care it's an amazing watch 😍

Omega hit it out of the park with the AT Shades (adore my Terracotta), but this deep black in 41mm might have to make my collection! It’s sublime and timeless looking.

When U review some of Brellum watches, thx

The addition of on the fly micro adjustment the bracelet is exactly what I’d hoped Omega would do to the AT. The 8900 movement is excellent, I own the current version of Planet Ocean which I wear every day and the accuracy is impressive. This new Aqua Terra would be a perfect second watch for me as it’s a bit more dressed up and I’m not really into dress watches. Could well be the perfect 2 watch collection

It is beautiful.

Finally a good bracelet design from Omega. Now they have to fix the Seamaster 300m.

This brings it a step closer to my favourite Aqua Terra, the 36 mm 2504.50 I’m wearing an SKX007 on a «black» (dark grey) rubber strap from Crafter Blue

Black Knight

When would this be available and price?

I've been watching Omega for years the Aqua Terra was always nearly there but for the horrible dials now this turns up and in 38mm it's fabulous. If I hadn't been watching for so long I wouldn't be aware that the price is thousands more than if it had been getting increased with inflation. I'd love one but I think every time I looked at it I'd thinking "Mug".

Looks beautiful!

It may throw off the design but, I wish there a some brushing in the watch case to give it a smidge of ruggedness and not so much flash

The Black Stallion looks like a beauty. I cannot wait to see one at my local AD.

Don‘t know what 2 think about that watch 🤷🏼‍♂️ like the teak dial and want to buy it on rubber and now i do know nothing, black stallion is nice but also kinda blingy for a GADA … Please help me, i‘m confused decisions decisions also more expensive 🫠

Case size on the specs pops up wrong for the 38&34

I agree with your sentiment, that all in all, this is a damn near perfect watch. However, I struggle to believe that a butterfly clasp with such a lazy solution for a quick adjust, will stand the test of time.

I wondered what the bracelet extension would look like and it's a bit underwhelming. Admittedly, hard to create an extension for a butterfly clasp closure, but looks like a link has gone missing when extended. The rest is great and look forward to seeing this in person. Interesting how basic color changes are getting such positive reviews this year, white speedmaster and now this for the aqua terra.

It’s the BlaquaTerra 👌🏻

Personally, I prefer the design of the Gen 1 Aqua Terra (gloss black dial)

When the micro-adjusted extension is on, that bracelet/clasp looks like a disaster 🙄

I wear an early gen black enamel aqua terra everyday. confirm it is a one watch collection. mine doesnt have lumed indices or the or rail track dial, which I don't mind. I would like that president bracelet though. Mines not a master chronometer, but it has a hi beat movement.

If memory serves me correct another key difference between the Cal 8900 vs the 8800 is quick set hour hand vs quick set date. Personally neither here nor there for me, but if you’re a regular traveller and this is a “one watch collection” the 8900 would be more functional to set the new time zone without stopping the seconds hand.

Love the name Black stallion it suits it , And it was one of my favorite movies growing up 😅

Softer markers and date window on the 34mm to position it as more of a feminine option?

Amazing Watch ❤❤

The proportions bracelet case is perfect on the 34mm. There are more men that should choose it. I'm now wearing an 35mm semi vintage Vacheron Constantin , and when you like me got about 17,5 cm wrist smaller watches feels better.

Please fix the case diameter in your descriptions. It says 41 for all 3 sizes. Cheers, Pavol

I think the bracelet finished the perfect view :)

Heavy swing at Grand Seiko SBGA203. A beautiful watch.

Great looking watch but its still too thick IMO. It would be much slicker if it was under 12mm and it should be for this type of watch. The 41mm isnt far off the thickness of the SMP300

Nah i'll take the 2017 black teak dial in 38mm. One and done 👍🏼

It's ridiculously expensive. And the position of the date window on the 38mm version is off, it's too high. And the butterfly clasp looks awful, especially in this price range. And it's still too thick.

I'm with you man, it is truly beautiful, 38mm is 👌👌👌👌

I've been enjoying my Sinn 556i....similar size and black dial with a bit more rugged and casual look. Perhaps not as feature filled from a movement perspective, but a step down in price. Still think the Explorer is a classic. I love the look of Omega in pics, but can't get a good fit on my wrist.

Uffffff lacquered white possibly coming? That would be an instant buy for me

I am with Harrison with this I would like to see a white dial. You can get this in two tone as well. A white dial two tone woul be the grail watch.

The 'Black Pearl'

Omega... You had me at "Boop!"

Tried it. Love it except for it being too blingy for me personally due to so much polished finishing.

It‘s just great

For me, it’s the Black Pearl… sailing the seas as a proper pirate. I’ve got the Rolex Explorer 40, and that delivers as an Explorer (tough perfection). The Black Pearl (see what I did there), delivers sizzle, performance, and just a step up (gasp!), from the Explorer. And that is why it is not an or decision.. I have the Explorer…and I want this ne Omega Black Pearl (there, I did it again).

Looking forward for the white lacquered dial version 🤩

Great watch

Omega, now do the white dial, from the new speedy, with red Seamaster text. Add color matched date wheel, with roulette red/black date and red outlined arrow minute. Finally, shut up and take my money.

They're beautifully executed. I just can't see myself pairing a black dial watch with my outfits; I would love to see color variations of this lacquered dial. At this point, I think I would still get a Shades instead. And the micro-adjustment is too narrow for me: I normally use up to 5 settings of the 6 available in the Seamaster 300 M on a hot day. I guess that can work out since I see the aquaterra as a complementary, dressier watch for fancy evenings only.

Two things that make the 38mm not perfect for me: 1) polished centre links 2) the real world lume on my 2015 38mm ‘Skyfall’ AT is terrible as they use so little lume on the hands. It seems they have the same hands here, so same issue I expect. Maybe it is better on the 41mm?

Beautiful!

I'll pass on this 38mm Omega Black Aqua Terra. The 9R65 spring drive movement is the smoothest and most accurate. I'm satisfied with my Seiko SBGA467 purchase.

Dope watch

I really want micro adjust on my AT but that new one does not look good leaving a gap in the bracelet … does not look comfy or aesthetically pleasing

Not flawless for me: why didn't they lume the minute hand shaft? It would really enhance legibility. Otherwise, I love it. I had an 8900 AT, but ended up preferring my Railmaster.

I do prefer the shades with respect to this one. I wish for a 36mm version without the rounded, i.e., too feminine marker

I wud rather have that 8800 mvment in the 41mm version, as long as it's 12.3 mm thin. Tks for the vid, man.

First! Hello from New Jersey. Great review. You are doing some amazing work!

I think Omega make a big mistake to use a sloping crown, a frame at the date window and convex lugs.

Omega will release a new Railmaster that’ll use the same case size as the AT. However it’ll be fully brushed and have a more oyster style bracelet. The ATs will rival the DJ/OP line. The Railmaster will rival the Explorer. Hopefully it happens soon, using the added exposure from the Olympics

I don't think the 8900 is a step up from 8800, they are just different movements. The 8900 with the hour jumping hand is polarizing - acclaimed by the frequent travellers and hated by the watch rotation people - due to the slow date change. The 8800 being a later design (8900 is actually METAS 8500) is a movement without (yet) known flaws. I personally find the 8800 more appealing - both functionally and visually. So to me the 38mm AT is the model of choise, without regretting the movement. As for the 34mm with the rounded indices and the date window - this follows the design language of the ladies collection of AT already known in the 38mm format. Obviously the round forms are more appealing to women, and combined with the smaller size I think this is what the target group of this model is.

I love Omega, I own and wear an Omega but I reckon I’d rather a Grand Seiko than an Aqua Terra. PO and Seamaster 300 all the way above that though

Black Mamba

Almost perfect IMO... they really need to lower that thickness though, particularly for the 41mm version

For me it's the best AT yet. As you say, perfect.

About 10 years late lol butbim glad they finally did a black AT

If I weren’t flush with watches, I’d own this

Decent erebus ascent homage
