    Very impressive, I didn't know this. They should create more public awareness about their technical advantages. Other brands would market this to death...

    that 160,000 gauss Aqua terra with the honeycomb patterned dial looks great!

    If they really offer a new special edition like the one displayed in the museum above I would be interested. Can't really see that though as the honeybee wasn't very popular. I still hope they Metas certify the AT from Basel onwards.

    And somehow the thread title is misleading...

    Oh was there once an AT with the honeycomb dial?? I wasn't aware of that. When was it? I'd be interested [emoji3]

    Perhaps "Omega AT tested for 160.000 Gauss and displayed in Omega museum".

    But we could also wait for next week, maybe such a piece as seen in the article will become reality.

    I would assume it will be. I heard a rumor from a customer in the OB that they might have a big change to the Aqua terra.

    I would be highly interested. Just posting the pic here for reference:

    Nice looking watch. Do we really need the date on the watch to know what the date is? Sort of disturbs the aesthetics.

    I agree, lose the date. And make it good for a few hundred thousand more gauss, you know, just in case.

    I think having the date is part of the QED proof that Omega has something uniquely different in their anti-magnetic technology to watches that use a Faraday cage for anti-magnetic shielding and are not allowed to have a date window/dial poking through that shield...

    That rationale is like a well-endowed woman wearing a low-cut dress to prove she's busty.

    What I want to know is who set the time to 10:09:37ish instead of 10:08:37ish

    C'mon guys, we all know in our hearts that all the bigger watch companies want to show off with what they are able to produce.
    You might love this one then? Inhouse movement and all.... ;);)
