Omega Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT Watch Review

For the travelers or navigators, a watch with the GMT function must be a great tool. You don’t need to worry about the problem of the time difference. Almost every watchmaker would like to produce the watch with such a useful function. Just like Omega, last year, Omega add a member with the GMT complication to their Seamaster Aqua Terra line.

A couple of versions are available including both gold and steel bracelets. In the high-end, there's a good 18k red gold model, in addition to a two-tone version having a steel case and 18k red-colored gold bezel, crown, and pushers. Most will most likely choose the all polished steel models though. 


This Aqua Terra is about 45mm wide, putting on large around the wrist but a little thinner than say, the Planet Ocean Chronograph. While using GMT complication around the Omega Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT watch is equally as you'd expect in other GMT watches, just the hand is more compact as well as in the subsidiary dial. It will allow it to be harder to see, but Omega does perform a good job of offering legibility. Though using the small subdial and markers versus Arabic numeral scale for that 24 hour indications, you will not likely have the ability to browse the second time zone in a simple glance. On some models the GMT hand is red-colored, during others it's gold to complement other particulars.



In this Omega Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT Watch, it’s an Omega Caliber 9605 automatic movement. The 9605 is really a form of the 9300 having a GMT hand within the subdials. Though, this really models the design. When Omega launched the caliber 9300 movement in 2011 (hands-on start looking and explanation here), the concept was with an exceptional in-house chronograph which was modern in each and every way, possess a column wheel, silicon parts within the escapement, and become helpful. It uses two subdials for that full 12 hour chronograph. This puts two hands within the right subdial, which measures both chronograph hrs and minutes.




Within the caliber 9605 you've got a GMT hand inside too. The two subdials be more effective balanced with two hands each. This upgrades the utility of Omega's in-house movement to provide that extra feature. A chronograph with date and GMT hand is an excellent travel watch. 


The case is water-resistant to 150 meters, not to mention it features a sapphire crystal. Dial construction is exclusive as Omega utilizes a plate evidently that provides the look of recessed subdials while adding depth and texture. Dial colors are available in both an in-depth grey and off whitened and overall, the face area is extremely legible.



The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT is priced at $9,150 in steel to $42,000 in 18k red gold.
