    Hello everyone

    Just joined the omega club with the arrival of my aqua terra! I am new to omegas and I have a question. When I put my ear right up to it I can hear some of the movement, what am I hearing specifically?

    Thanks everyone and glad to be part of the club!

    Very nice, congratulations. Nice touch of colour to set off a beautifully balanced watch.

    I second @fastfras in welcoming you to the unofficial club! Looks great! To answer your question, you are hearing the balance wheel escapement mechanism. Recently joined with my new AT as well:

    Lovely watch! Many congratulations. Like others, I really like the orange accents. Something nice about a bit of orange on a watch.

    Congrats!! I have the same watch but with the dark gray/orange stitch rubber strap. It’s the most accurate of all of my pieces. Enjoy it!!!
