That’s how I remember it. Goes to show how 🤮 boutique lighting is...I’m fairly certain that’s the same watch in the previous picture!

Oh how weird, in that live photo it looks like it has steel hands and marker surrounds 😵‍💫

Who else thinks Eugene deserves a free new Omega of his choice from the company for this stellar write-up? (Raynald: ”Yeah, okay, but not a gold one...”)

Thanks for sharing! I really like the novelties. I just wonder why they haven't included all watches in their announcement. I knew new ATs are coming but haven't seen them until now for example. Are the Aqua Terra "Small Seconds" the same sizes as the time only models? 38 and 41mm?

An Aqua Terra with two colours dial and small seconds?! 🥰
Wow good catch!
It doesn’t even exist yet in the omega website!

Well done, Gene ! Thanks for sharing 👍

Let me know next time you book an appointment, maybe we can make a mini GTG by the way 😉

Mini GTG way overdue! These watches might be coming your way soon...I believe they make their rounds in CH now.

I'm not sure about those Aqua terra's with the small seconds, but I'm curious enough to wait and see what they turn out like in stores.

It really is starting to feel influenced by vintage Seamasters now, and that ... is something I like

If you gents are up for it, we can next time do the visit even the three of us. I was there on Saturday, with the same 'favorite' OB staff member 😀...

I really liked the blacked-out SMP300s, but why oh why did they choose the cream superluminova plots on the bicolor version. It would look much better in my opinion with gold-framed indices (yes, they are definitely gold) but the grey/black Superluminova from the black-black verison.

On the AT small seconds: they are 41mm only to @maskwp's question.

What I found really nicely done are these mother-of-pearl indices on the new 36mm ladies watches:

Okay, I'm really obsessed about this aqua terra!! I think I may have gradually fallen in love.

This is what I mean by how the AT pays homage to the old Seamasters (See below comparing to @onlyomega94 's photos of his 2576).

And yes... 38mm would be ideal

That would be cool! Not sure how legal that would be given current Covid guidelines...but after that a plan should be made! It’s been far too long...

100% agreed.

Everything on the AT that is a numeral, or a window framing a numeral, is a design crime IMO. Though I have to say, it's still pretty damn nice!

It really does look strange in that live photo... The Sedna gold also looks super subdued.
