However, I have to mention golf when talking about the brand new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra collection which was founded on dive watch concepts. Because the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is becoming its de facto formal sports watch and also the model they decide to connect using their golf ambassadors for example Rory McIlroy.
For 2014, we've got the technology was handed the correct title of "Master Co-Axial." Which means the movements include both Omega's Co-Axial escapements along with the "Master" anti-magnetic parts. The movement names did not even change, as well as in the Aqua Terra collection the calibre 8500 and 8520 movements are actually Master Co-Axial.
Omega intends to make all their watches within-house made movements "Master Co-Axial" by 2017. The debut watch using the technology was the Omega Seamaster 300 (hands-on). Significantly improved you realize about Master Co-Axial, you are able to appreciate these Seamaster Aqua Terra watches now include them. I don't know if all Aqua Terra models may have Master Co-Axial, or simply these debut models.
You will find two dimensions from the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra using the Master Co-Axial 8500 movements and they're either 41.5mm or 38.5mm wide. As you can tell, you will find a mix of case materials for example steel, 18k rose gold, and 2-tone models. I'm not obvious on all of the specific Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra versions with Master Co-Axial available, but my hunch is the fact that beginning this summer time in 2014, increasingly more Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra models may have the brand new anti-magnetic movements within them.
For individuals that aren't acquainted with the gorgeous 8500 family movements, they're automatics with 60 hour energy reserves that operate at 4Hz. They contain plastic balance wheels and additionally towards the time, provide the date. Each one of the 8500 movements within the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra group of watches is COSC Chronometer licensed.
For Omega probably the most important models within this 2014 collection may be the Aqua Terra "Golf Edition," that we make reference to above. Having a green minute scale round the periphery from the dial along with a green seconds hand, this watch is Omega's default official watch out for the PGA Tour golf tournament. Really, there's another form of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Golf Edition not proven here that's for that 2014 Ryder Cup and it has a silver dial with blue, red-colored, and gold accents. You can observe much more about the Omega Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial Golf Edition watches here from Omega.
What I'd like for Omega to complete is defined the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial Golf Edition watch in times where golfers experience massive magnetic fields. Possibly a course in which the balls are metal and you will find huge magnets the ball must avoid? Did I simply invent a dreadful (or awesome) new sport? The funny factor is the fact that as the magnetic resistance of Master Co-Axial is extremely awesome, it is not easy to think about many real existence situations where such an advanced of magnetic resistance could be helpful. Omega just informs me to visit test drive it within an MRI machine.
Additionally towards the metal bracelet on the majority of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra models, I have faith that this Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial Golf Edition may be the first where Omega has offered Barenia leather. The brown leather is extremely supple and soft and it has an inclination to darken with time (it patinas).
If you are an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra fan and also have been suppressing to obtain one, now may be the time, because of the inclusion of Master Co-Axial towards the large spectrum of models (over 30 of these). Omega has frequently used the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra collection to debut additional features and technology, plus they did by using their new anti-magnetic movements. The feature could be more broadly obtainable in Omega's premier formal sport watch collection.
Can wait to see this next Seamaster Aqua Terra watch? Then go and get it! Prices for that new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watches with Master Co-Axial movements start at $6,000.
