OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light”
Specially designed for athletes and sports-persons, the new Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light watch offers optimum comfort for the wrist while engaged in any type of sports activities.
Golf player Rory McIlroy, who is also an OMEGA ambassador, helped the product development team to create a watch perfectly suited to the needs of athletes. When presented on its sporty fabric strap, the ergonomic “Ultra Light” weighs just 55g.
The case, caseback and crown are fashioned from an alloy called Gamma Titanium – a first for OMEGA. The unique material, used in the aeronautical industry due to its very resistant properties, is harder and lighter than conventional titanium. Thanks to careful research and trial, OMEGA also reduced the amount of material used to create the dial. This process further lightened the weight of the watch without affecting its visual impact.
Another first for OMEGA is the telescopic crown, which can be stowed inside the case when not in use. This ergonomic feature means there is no disturbance to the movement of an athlete’s hands during the game.
Each “Ultra Light” is presented on a rubber strap, and also comes with an in-play fabric strap for perfect comfort when required.
Designed for preventing glare from the sun, OMEGA’s matt finished Aqua Terra makes bold use of colour on the aluminium seconds hand, Seamaster logo, quarter hour indexes and strap stitching. Three colour choices are available: red, green or blue.
The timepiece comes with OMEGA’s full 5-year warranty. The “Ultra Light” watch is driven by OMEGA’s first-ever titanium movement. All the bridges and the main plate are in ceramised titanium, which means there’s less friction between the components and it gives the movement this special dark grey colour.
Calibre 8928 Titanium is a manual-winding calibre with Co-Axial escapement. As a certified Master Chronometer approved by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), the Calibre 8928 Titanium is resistant to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss.
