Omega
is presenting the newest addition to its Aqua Terra collection at
Baselworld this year in the form of an Annual Calendar watch. The new addition uses the same Omega movement that was introduced two years ago in the DeVille Hour Vision watch. The
Co-Axial calibre 8611 movement automatically adjusts itself through the
year to show the correct date, with the only exception being at the
transition between February and March. The Aqua Terra Annual Calendar is unique in that while its a complication watch, it retains the look of a sports watch. The
variance from the norm is something that could make or break the Aqua
Terra Annual Calendar Watch, but I for one believe that it will be a
great success.
The
Seamaster Aqua Terra Annual Calendar timepiece will be available in a
two-tone model with stainless steel and 18 carat red gold as well as in
stainless steel. The dial is decorated with a teak pattern, vertical lines similar to that of hardwood decks of boats. The dial features faceted gold hands and triangular hour markers with a brushed finish and polished bevels. Each marker is treated with highly luminescent Superluminova material for great readability in even dark surroundings. The bracelets has both brushed and polished finishing and feature a premium quality link removal system with screws.
This watch displays both day and month, as well as hours, minutes and central seconds. The
Omega 8601/8611 self-winding movement is Controle Officiel Suisse des
Chronometres (COSC) certified and can be viewed through the sapphire
crystal exhibition window in the screw-down caseback. Unlike
the long-serving Swiss lever escapement, the Omega Co-Axial Escapement
ensures long term precision through superior mastery over the effects of
friction.
