One To Watch | NEW OMEGA Aqua Terra Shades Collection
A collection inspired by the Earth’s natural colour palette, OMEGA Aqua Terra Shades covers organic hues from land to sea. We’re loving the pop of lacquered colour on the dial that is a gesture to earthy tones and natural beauty. The collection was first introduced to us last year, but it’s one that continues to keep us talking.
If there’s ever a luxury watch brand that sets trends, it’s OMEGA. The collection hits top watch trends for 2023 stunningly, with coloured dials being a need for every watch fan this year. OMEGA Aqua Terra is part of the Seamaster collection, for timepieces with a maritime heritage and water resistance of 150m that do not compromise on fashionable form. Are you ready to see your favourite colour adorning a beautifully crafted OMEGA watch? We know we are.

The OMEGA Aqua Terra Shades watches are divided into two case sizes, one with a 38mm size, and another with a 34mm size. The different case sizes incorporate different colours and themes into their dials; however, many features remain consistent in both models. A reimagined stainless steel bracelet is designed to include elegantly rounded links and sit smoothly on the contours of the wrist, a new aesthetic for the traditional Aqua Terra.
As a humble nod to the iconic Seamaster collection, the case back features a precisely carved wave-edged design. These striking watches include a date window at 6 o’clock, presented on a lacquered and sun-brushed brass dial with a shiny effect that’s reflected in the fully polished stainless steel case and bracelet.
A stainless steel case is used to, not only ensure a monochromatic silver effect that enhances the striking colour of the dial, but also robustly protect the Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement. The watch features an OMEGA 8800 Calibre, a self-winding movement with Co-Axial escapement, and a water resistance of 150m. This OMEGA precision and craftsmanship is certified at the industry’s highest standard by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
This timepiece has a water resistance of 150m, and a 55 hour power reserve, solidifying OMEGA’s expertise in manufacturing high preforming watches, for the sea and beyond. A sapphire crystal covering on both sides means a protective case and transparent case back, making the watch mechanism visible for a captivating finish.
A timepiece that’s enthralling on both sides, as well as having a fascinating interior, is what makes this model really special.
OMEGA Aqua Terra 38mm
Earthy tones are featured in the OMEGA Aqua Terra 38mm watches. The dial shades are Atlantic Blue, Bay Green, Sandstone, Saffron and Terracotta, providing the ultimate balance between sophistication and ocean spirit. The OMEGA Aqua Terra 38mm presents rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with Super-Luminova, for visibility in even the darkest of places.
OMEGA Aqua Terra 34mm
Pastel hues decorate the OMEGA Aqua Terra 34mm’s dial. The dial shades include Sea Blue, Lagoon Green, Sandstone, Shell Pink and Lavender, a lighter and more summery take on natural colour. The watch’s maritime heritage is incorporated through the hands and indexes which are shaped like sailboat hulls. Along with the OMEGA logo, these ship-inspired hands and indexes are crafted in a diamond-polished 18k white gold.
Championed by OMEGA ambassadors Zoe Kravitz and Eddie Redmayne, the Aqua Terra Shades is a collection that celebrates individuality and self-expression.
A minimalistic design, the Aqua Terra 38mm & 34mm models ensure a timeless way of sporting a colourful timepiece that speaks to you and are coming soon to Beaverbrooks.
