Omega N a u t i c a l In s p i r e d Water & Earth www.omegawatches.com Omega’s Aqua Terra “Good Planet” edition dispenses the teak pattern dial in favor of a clean white lacquered dial to counterpoint the ocean blue accents. Available in either a 43mm GMT or a simpler 38.5 mm 3-hand with date, both versions house evolutions of the Daniels Co-Axial escapement now certified with the new “Master Co-Axial Chronometer” certification, and both are water resistant to 15atm. Fans of solid metal bracelets will appreciate the smooth flow of the brushed and polished finish on the lightweight grade 5 titanium, but the coated nylon fabric strap in blue pairs exceptionally well in this example although the proposed retail price of almost $11,000 for the GMT and over $7,700 for the 3-hand may scare off some collectors. 86 Wristwatch | 2016
