Take a Deep Dive into the 7 New Variations of the Omega Seamaster and Aqua Terra Collections

Omega has a long history of creating some of the finest timepieces in the world. The brand has evolved much beyond the hallowed Speedmaster. Over the years, the Seamaster and the Constellation collections have made a significant mark on their respective horological genres. 

Launched in 1948, the Seamaster was created to withstand any conditions that were thrown at it, from high altitudes to remarkable depths of oceans. Now, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the collection, the brand has revamped seven of its Seamaster and Aqua Terra timepieces and provided them with a gradient blue colour. These include Aqua Terra (38 mm and 41 mm, and Worldtimer), Seamaster 300, Diver 300bm, Planet Ocean, Ploprof, and PO Ultra-Deep.

So, what do the seven watches have in common? All of them now come with sun-brushed, gradient blue dials, each with a layer of varnish. The dials get darker on the edges. For instance, the Ultra-Deep has a blue centre and dark edges while the Aqua Terra 150M 38 mm watch has a blue face with lighter edges. Another common feature is that the hour markers and the hour, minute hands are now filled with a new light blue Super-LumiNova, matching the theme of the collection.
