BaselWorld 2013: Seamaster Aqua Terra Day-Date

Day-Date. For many the Rolex Day-Date is the ultimate sports luxury watch and Omega has introduced its own sports luxury watch in the popular formula. The OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra feature both a day display at a window at the 12 o'clock position and date display in a window at the 6 o'clock position. 

OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Day-Date. I do not have to many details on the new OMEGA offering. I do not even know what case size this watch will be offered in, but it is likely to be offered in two sizes. I do know that the new watch is offered in stainless steel, a bi-metal stainless steel and 18K red gold case and one in with a full 18K red gold case.

The Aqua Terra Day-Date collection is  powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 8602. The co-axial technology is supposed to reduce wear and tear, and to back up this claim, the watches are delivered with a full four-year warranty. The movement is COSC-certified as a chronometer.

Trivia. The design of the dial of the watch is supposed to be the decks of a boat. The design looks best on black dial and grey dial models. The black dial is available on the stainless steel models, while the grey dial is available on the bi-metal and Rose Gold models.

About Omega SA. The forerunner of Omega was founded 1848, by Louis Brandt. The name Omega was first used in 1894. It was used as the name of one of the Louis Brandt brother’s watch movement calibers.

BaselWorld 2013: OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT GoodPlanet

Planet Ocean. OMEGA's Seamaster Planet Ocean series of watches needs little introduction. Ever since being adopted as the new Bond watch in Quantum of Solace, it is probably one of the most easily recognizable OMEGA watch models.

OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT GoodPlanet. The Seamaster Planet Ocean is a divers watch, with a 600 meter water resistance rating and a helium gas escape valve which is needed by deep sea divers.  The new variant released at BaselWorld 2013 also includes a dual time function, with a second orange hour hand which rotates once every 24 hours and is read in conjunction with the rotating outer bezel. This will allow you to keep track of a second, and even third time zone. The watch has a 43.5 mm case and comes in either a steel bracelet or blue rubber strap. 

Inside is a OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 8605, a self-winding movement with a three-level Co-Axial escapement and Si14 silicon balance spring. The design reduces wear and tear and to back up its claim, OMEGA offers the watch with a full four-year warranty.

GoodPlanet Foundation. What makes this watch particularly interesting is that it is issued in support of the GoodPlanet foundation. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of each OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT GoodPlanet will go towards the protection of mangroves and seagrasses in South East Asia. A good reason to buy this watch I would think.
