The story in a second: This year the Omega Aqua Terra fake fashion watches UK received a major upgrade, and now we’re seeing Omega’s staple in a whole new light.
Since it first surfaced in 2003, Omega’s Aqua Terra has been a versatile everyman, stylish and sartorial, but tough enough for the real world. This year the collection levelled-up to Master Chronometer status and we thought we’d take this sparkly 41mm rubberclad model for a spin.
The case
The case of the Aqua Terra hasn’t changed too obviously, it’s still the same classic shape, with sporty, swooping, twisted lugs and polished surfaces aplenty. It’s a combination of casual style and dressy finish that helps the Aqua Terra’s chameleon-factor.

All models are offered in 38 or 41mm widths Omega replica watches, a slight reduction from the previous generation, in line with changing tastes and sized to please pretty much everyone. One change you might notice is the crown. Omega have flared it ever so slightly, giving it a more conical shape, simply to improve the ergonomics, which was apparently an issue on older versions. I don’t have much personal experience on that front, but I had no issues with this one.
The dial
The most obvious cosmetic changes have been applied to the dial. The AT’s instantly recognisable striped finish is still there, only now it’s horizontal rather than vertical – a decision Omega explained by saying it was intended to evoke yacht decking. While that’s a nice story, for me the horizontal just looks better, no other reason needed. Speaking of this striping, one thing I noticed only when I was looking through Jason’s shots of this watch is that the lines of the dial aren’t even. Some are thick and some are thin, creating the optical illusion of a vanishing point at the centre of the dial. Neat trick, Omega.
The direction of the detailing isn’t the only thing that’s changed. The date has moved to six, a more balanced position than the previous three o’clock, and a move inspired by the date placement on the original Seamaster model. There’s also less text cluttering the place up – the depth rating has disappeared. These are all smart changes, which play to the dial’s strengths, namely the glittering interplay between the polished hands and applied, nicely faceted arrowhead indices.

The movement
The big story with the movement is that the whole line is now Master Chronometer certified, in line with Omega’s push for technical innovation. What this means is that the entire watch (not just the movement) has been tested within an inch of its life to METAS standards, covering off accuracy in numerous positions and state of power reserve, water and magnetic resistance as well as the efficacy of the automatic winding Omega water resistant fake watches. The smaller model uses the Caliber 8800, whereas this larger one opts for the 8900, giving you the ability to quickly and independently adjust the hour hand in one-hour increments, without interrupting the running of the minutes or seconds. A surprisingly useful feature, especially for travellers.
