How much did you pay?

@ryanjofre 2 ай бұрын

@@Ercan-fc2oqJomaShop or nothing. My A.D. gives me discounts allot of people could only dream of and they want $6600 out the door. They might be able go down $300 more max. So they just offered me retail and ate the tax!🤬 Jomashop has allot of new for $4500-$5500 shipped and $6150 shipped with diamonds!😁😁 This is an awesome watch and size(38mm) but Omega is way to proud of the price. It should have micro adjustments for the price.

I tried on the terra-cotta at an Omega store and I have to say it’s one of the most beautiful watches that I have ever tried on. Classy but at the same time catchy ❤love it so much that me and my brother ordered one. Can’t wait to have it on the wrist again!

@rustycarno 11 ай бұрын

Great - I have my terracotta one already. Waited a long time. Managed to get one from Omega direct in the Uk. No fuss - fits perfectly. A really stand out dial. Thanks for the review.

@davidelliott948 11 ай бұрын

My favorite is the saffron, with the terracotta a close second. Nice job Omega!

@DavidDatura 11 ай бұрын

Really like these too! And I’m very glad Omega added that facetted metal frame to the date window. It was my only major gripe that they were initially introduced without it. As for color choice…that’s really tricky. Initially I thought my favorite was the saffron followed by the terracotta. But now I’m seeing the Atlantic blue and sandstone variations again, I can’t conclusively decide. I suppose I’ll have to see them in the metal before making a final choice. 38mm is just my perfect size watch as well! My current daily is a 38mm Seiko Alpinist ‘Ginza’ which I purchased a few years ago, and still love to this day.

@alvinmick218 11 ай бұрын

These AT’s look amazing! I’m not a huge fan of date complications for watches but I agree that framing the date window was an improvement. For any watch in that price range or above, there’s not really a good excuse for the bracelet to be lacking a quality on-the-fly adjustment. I really like those dial colors though! Excellent video as always 🥃

@coreygraham6628 11 ай бұрын

I love my Aqua Terra 41, so I’m glad you made a video exclusively for the new 38mm Shades lineup and focused so much on the dials. The Terra-cotta reminded me of the video you did with Kevin O’Leary. He mentioned putting a red strap on it of course, and I got an idea: you should create a red strap challenge - a nod to Mr. O’Leary. Select watches with dials that really pop with a red strap. Let’s see which ones get the most enhancement from this move. This could be done in a wide set of price ranges…

I wasn't really actively aware of these as a separate model within the Aqua Terra range. They're very pretty and well sized. The sandstone color is my favourite, classic and understated.

@yaakovhassoun8965 10 ай бұрын

I'd probably go with the sandstone or the green or blue, it's very enticing to go for the red or yellow but it's much harder to wear that in an everyday situation, and then the watch starts collecting dust as you're more likely to reach for your watches that are a bit more restrained.

@rbsafe 11 ай бұрын

Love these. Great dials, great size. Date window is at six, where it should be, and framed beautifully (I'd be *very* unhappy if I'd bought an unfinished early model). Agree the shiny brick red is the star. I'd wear these beauties with pride anywhere.

Im no1 on the list in my omega boutique for the terra cotta and have been since release. Cannot wait, been agggges. Seeing a couple pop up around the world in stores thanks to watch forums, and now thanks to your video some more release clarification. I went in to buy another speedy but they happened to have the AT in red in the safe as a show and tell at the time. 2 seconds on my wrist and i paid for one on the spot. Great timing as it was travelling around stores for customers to have a look at and i’d seen them online, but in person, too nice.

I bought my Aqua Terra Terracotta 38mm with the frame on the date window at an Omega boutique in Rome on 25th of April 2023. I then got a dark green Alligator strap with a clasp at Omega's boutique in Cannes.

@RedwoodAggie 11 ай бұрын

This is a great release for sure. Even with the date frame addition (an improvement), I don't understand why it took so long after announcement to start showing up at ADs/boutiques. I've been able to try some of these on at my local boutique and was really impressed, including with the comfort and finish of the bracelet. The lack of micro adjustment is definitely a complaint of mine when it comes to this line, and is one of the reasons I did not get the Railmaster, which wore beautifully on my 7.25" wrist. Even I really like the size of the 38.5mm ATs on wrist, so they can work with a wide range of sizes.

@atahan7838 11 ай бұрын

Nothing beats the 41mm AT’s, the detailed dial and 8900 calibre makes that watch a better buy in my opinion. However, the bracelet on the 38mm AT’s look great. Wish they’d have one for the 41mm’s too haha

@james6048 11 ай бұрын

@octothorpe12 11 ай бұрын

The change to the date window is possibly a perfect retrofit. Usually when companies change things based on feedback, the result feels 'pasted on', as it was, quite literally, an afterthought from the original design. In this case (ahem) Omega really made it feel like it was supposed to be this way all along.

@turbyoulance 11 ай бұрын

I think I was vindicated when I was probablly the first to say the date window made the Omega look shabby and needed to be lifted up .MIDO did this first and made their similar watches go from a yeah /nah to really popping. Omega has intelligently fixed up the original tackiness of the date window and it now looks Professional and outstanding.

Love the blue dial version. Imo a really strong competitor to the Rolex OP. The only gripe for me are the weird shoulders/links.

Beautiful watch range. Adds a lot of youthful style to the Omega range that to be honest overall has a more old man watch feel to it that puts off younger buyers and even older buyers wanting something stylish but not the typical old mans watch look. Almost feels like they looked at Grand Seiko in some areas. Love it and might look at getting a green dial.

Definitely nice watches that I think will be popular. The dials are beautiful and the colors should fit a lot of taste. I have the blue Globemaster and love it. So a few things I would have liked to seen on it and it would have kicked Rolex's behind. One the clasp you mentioned, two at least another .7 to 1 mm off the thickness for more symmetry for the 38 mm case, and three the 8900 movement. In my opinion one of the reasons Rolex has dominated is because of the symmetry of the case sizes in so far as width, thickness, and lugs. They have a athletic style but with a slim classic look. Nice watches non the less and those dials are sexy! Good job as usual Teddy!

@justint.worrell4588 11 ай бұрын
