Thanks to all for their advice on helping me chose my first Omega (on other threads). Whilst perusing I came across the slightly older Aqua Terra white face/blue hands and markers (2803.33.37). Obviously discontinued but a worthy acquisition I assume? Was this colour combination a limited edition? Thank you.

 

I'm not sure if it was an LE. The first time I saw it, I saw a 2503.33. I checked for similar styles and all I saw was this one. I have it now which is the same watch as yours, but in 39.5 mm. There also is a 41.5 mm that they made, but there sure aren't very many of them out there. I had some randomly PM about my sizing.

I have 7.25 inch wrist, and I feel like mine is slightly small. I still love it.

Now I'm surprised to learn there is a 38.5 mm!

 

The combination was not a "limited edition" in the formal sense, but not a lot of these appear show up. When they do its usually the 2502.33 (41mm) version. I guess the owners of the 2503.33 hold on to their watches. There is no 36mm version of this AFAIK.

On a side note, I actually have incoming a 2504.70 - same watch in 36mm, but comes in a white MOP dial, which as I understand only 1000pcs were produced. I'm excited to see it arrive, probably a keeper.

Yep, not a limited edition but rarely seen. I got mine brand new at a 50% discount back in 2006 at a jewelry store that was going out of business. In retrospect I wish I had bought their entire stock!

I definitely recommend it, its a fantastic do-everything watch.

 

im still looking for the blue version! cleanest AT design ever imho

 

I have the 2503.80 (blue dial) and had an opportunity to buy the 2503.33 soon after...now I really wish I had done so. It's a beautiful watch that is a go anywhere, do anything watch. I'd grab it if you have the opportunity.

 

I agree. Such a clean dial, before they changed to the "teak" dials.

 

You mean this dial?

 

The silver dialed 2503.30s are floating around relatively affordable (36mm 2504.30s even cheaper) than the blue dial, blue-and-white dial or even the black dial 2503.50s. The color may be too plain for some, but they are just as good as the 2503.80s

 

I am thinking, you must have a big wrist, because this looks like a 36mm on yours - and they did not make the 2503.33 in 36mm!

 

Ha! Now that's something I've never been accused of before! I have a skinny 6.5" wrist. Must be an optical illusion.

 

Great watch, I have a 2503.33, you can check my post history for some pics if you'd like to see. I love it so much.

Here is a tease though

 

The AT 2500 is where it's at.

 

Very nice watches, both on the original bracelet as well as leather strap. I love this earlier (and slimmer) version of the AT.

Here is my 39mm:

 

Hi saw you have the 2504.70 MOP for sale. Can you post better pictures of the dial to see it?

Thanks

 

I just picked a 2503.33 up a couple of weeks ago. Can't stop wearing it.
