I have always liked the Aqua Terra. Sporty, yet elegant. This particular example is from 2014. 8500, but I guess no SI14 and of course no Metas. I compared it to the latest version, of course there are differences but they look very much alike to me. What do you think of this one?

Btw - how anti magnetic is it without the Si14? Like a standard movement?

Probably my most worn watch. I think this is the best iteration of the Aqua Terra (framed date window, vertical dial lines and brushed bracelet).

I prefer the Aqua Terra in 38.5:

Only problem on that reference is the clasp. Not flat on the inside and can be uncomfortable. Still, I find the 8500 nicer than the 8800. Love the date window on the 8500.

Very nice - is it a white dial or silver?

Omega calls it silver I believe. Visually it appears an opaline white.

Agreed that the AT is the perfect combination of sportiness and elegance; like my 8500 more than I ever thought I would.

It came with the blue croc strap on deployant; I purchased an original bracelet afterward and haven’t looked back. Despite the odd clasp design I find it comfortable as heck.
