    ...and no, it's not Omega's most iconic property, the Speedmaster, but rather a blue-dialed Aqua Terra. Doesn't matter the reference – I feel like this has been one of Omega's most quietly excellent offerings for the better part of the last decade.

    Nobody does blue dials like Omega, and regardless of your position on the teak orientation, or date window position or framing, or any other similarly pedantic details, when it boils down to it, I just can't imagine another more versatile, capable, or consistently gorgeous blue-dialed watch in my collection. Show yours if you agree!

    These are beautiful, and I almost agree with you. I say almost because I am still debating whether I want a (potentially pre-owned) co-axial in my collection.

    That’s a beauty! The minute they make the Aqua Terra GMT in 41mm it’s mine! The 43mm is just too big.

    The one thing I can't stand is the OMEGA logo being one piece, with those little connecting pieces between each letter. Pedantic for sure, but it's almost all I see when I look at the models that use that style of logo.

    Never seen this one, to be fair I'm quite new to the Forum so I'm sure I will continue getting impressed by all these beauties.

    Totally agree – this is a watch that dunks on the Explorer II so hard, but they've just never gotten the size right.

    SMPO is absolutely a classic in its own right, but having handled all three generations of it, I'd say that the Aqua Terra is a dramatically different blue.

    What? that exact one? OK. I'm in. When's it my turn? You'll send it to me then?

    I mean, not that one exactly – I'm just making a case for any blue-dialed Aqua Terra. Here's another hitter:

    I have the Golf Edition, it’s probably my favorite timepiece.

    forgive my ignorance on this matter, but besides the Speedmaster 125, does any Omega have an applied “Omega” that isn’t one piece?

    I'm not positive but I don't think so. I don't like it on any of them LOL. It's a minor thing but my OCD struggles to get past it.
