Swiss luxury watch brand OMEGA has announced the launch of three new Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer models: a titanium edition with a dial made entirely by laser ablation – and two versions in stainless steel.

Topped with scratch-resistant ceramic bezels, all three watches boast the unique Worldtimer display. At the centre of the dial, OMEGA has produced a vision of Earth, viewed from above the North Pole, by laser-ablating continents and colours on a grade 5 titanium surface. Circling the topographic map is a 24-hour indication under hesalite glass, divided into night and day sections.

OMEGA’s home city of BIENNE Switzerland is among the many global destinations circling around each dial and its outer ring. All place names, with the exception of the British capital are coloured yellow gold for the stainless-steel versions. LONDON is in red to highlight Greenwich Mean Time. Each timepiece has a water-resistance of 15 bar (150 m / 500 ft).

The 43 mm OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer in titanium is lightweight and more corrosion-resistant. It has a black and grey dial.

There are no transferred elements, apart from the word LONDON and even here the red varnish has been applied by hand. To complement the matte dial, OMEGA has opted for a brushed black ceramic bezel, and blackened hands and indexes, filled with white Super-LumiNova which emits a blue glow in the dark.

This model comes with an integrated strap in black structured rubber with grey stitching, additional decorative link in brushed grade 2 titanium, and grade 2 titanium clasp.

Dedicated to globetrotters, the Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer is also availed in two new style options in stainless steel. One with matching stainless-steel bracelet and butterfly clasp, another with integrated green rubber strap with grey stitching, additional decorative link in polished steel, and polished-brushed fold over clasp.

Each 43 mm stainless steel model has a sun-brushed PVD dial in green, encircled by a polished-brushed green ceramic bezel. Adding shine to the dial are hands and indexes in 18K Moonshine™ Gold.

 

Each new Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer watch houses the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8938, which has met the highest standards of precision demanded by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

The suggested retail price of the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer in stainless steel is $10,200 with rubber strap and $10,400 with bracelet. The titanium version with rubber strap costs $11,800.
