Looks great. If one of these on the cordura popped up at a good price, i don't think i could resist.

This is a gorgeous watch.

I’m really tempted to add to the collection as I hv a thing for blued hands and markers. I’m just concerned with thickness. I hv the 41.5 AT from the same era as this watch and note that both the 38.5 and 41.5 models share the 8500 movement so hv the same thickness.....

Hv you owned a 41.5mm AT and are you able to share any insights if you’ve had a chance to compare?

Thanks

Thanks Jeelan! Yes I owned at the same time the first edition of the 41.5 MM Aqua Terra Golf and the 38.5 MM Skyfall. As you said they share the same movement so thickness is the same. I basically replaced the 41.5 MM AT Golf with the 38.5 MM Skyfall as felt the Golf was too big for my taste on my wrist:

My 7 1/8 inch wrists are pretty round and felt the smaller 38.5 MM was a better fit. I ended up selling the Skyfall to pursue other watches but knew the 38.5 MM AT was the right size for me. The 8500 movement makes the AT a little thicker than what would be ideal in my mind but the titanium lightness makes up for that 😀

Thanks for that. Yeah that lightness is what really appeals.

I’ve been wearing a current model Datejust 41 on jubilee bracelet lately and can’t believe the difference in weight between the AT and the DJ41 - every single gram of difference sits in the bracelet as the heads are identical in weight. Haven’t wanted to take the DJ41 off so looking for lightweight options in the AT range inc smaller size..

The Good Planet AT might just be the answer.

Here on a blue Jean Rousseau cordura 😀

I weighted the watch today: On bracelet (full band minus 2 half links) is 94 grams; weighing them separately the head weight is 50 grams and the band is 44 grams.

This is a very nice strap. I went on the Jean Rousseau website and the only cordura straps were NATO straps. Did you have to custom order that blue strap?

fskywalker

I contacted JR and placed the order over e-mail as knew of other people which had ordered the black Snoopy (which they do for Omega under reference CWZ003436) as well as other colors of the Cordura (for example, black cordura with orange stitches for the Speedmaster Ultraman). They made for the Planet Ocean a band very similar to mine (Omega reference is CWZ005345) but it has more bulge at the lugs than mine, which follows the same profile of the Snoopy band. Below you will find a picture of the CWZ005345 (left) besides the Snoopy (CWZ003436) so you can see the difference:

Thank-you! I will contact them by email. That’s an awesome strap!
