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.
