Would love some opinions from Omega fans, please! I've decided to get my husband an Omega seamaster aquaterra watch and can't decide between colors. I am torn between the green accent lettering and the white. I think the green is pretty unique and adds a nice pop of color but it's part of Omega's golf series and while DH likes golf, he is not an avid fan and hasn't played it in years and he's also not one to really watch golf. The few times he did play, he loved it, though. Which do you like better? DH is a minimalist, dresses casually when not at work and doesn't change watches. The one he has right now is the watch I got him 10 years back. It's silver bracelet with black face too but not an Omega. I think it's time for an upgrade! I would normally get a different color face but I don't think I like the white which is the only other option. Help please!

If I told you green was my favorite color, would you discount my choice? 😉 😜

Actually, I would recommend the white. More versatile.

I'd avoid the green, definitely go the white, unless you wanted to go for the blue dial:

Keep in mind there are two sizes, 41.5mm and 38.5mm. The 41.5mm is a large watch for that style and may be a bit too large if you're wearing it under a shirt cuff, while the 38.5mm (which is available with that blue dial) is still a good size but is less chunky and more appropriate in formal situations.

I'll add an endorsement for the 38.5 mm blue dial AT:

I love the blue dial but I am quite sure he prefers the bigger size. The smaller size is a little too formal for him. I wish they made the blue in the bigger size.

Although I think I need to take a second look at the midsize. That looks like a good size on u

And it looks like midsize runs the same price as the large. Is that right?

Thanks. My wrist is 6.75" for reference.

The mid size retails for $5500 on the bracelet. Couldn't tell you what the 41.5 mm costs because it was never a consideration for me.

The 41.5 mm retails for the same which seems strange to me. Thanks for all your help !

Quick question. Those who said no to the green, why? I just showed pics to my sister and she loved the green.

How much green does your husband wear? Women can get away with a lot more colors than men.

Not much at all! But I feel like the green is so subtle on this that it wouldn't be a problem. Maybe I'm wrong!

The other thing is that green is Rolex's traditional colour, not Omega's so it looks a little out of place

I think the green is a tad kitsch. Doesn't look like a prestige watch to me. Personally I love the rose gold AT with black dial.

Grey dial with white markers got my vote. 😀 Any AT color is still a great choice. 👍 The brand new dial with silver and gold marker is nice too.
