Omega Men's 2503.34.00 Seamaster Aqua Terra Automatic Chronometer Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Omega Aqua Terra with the 2500 Co-Axial Movement is an excellent timekeeper as its Chronometer rating demands out of a timepiece as this. In three weeks ownership with regular wear, I have been monitoring the accuracy on a daily basis, and so far I have been getting approximately 2+/- seconds per day which is extremely precise for a mechanical watch.And, the watch is a beauty, its gold hands and markers on a white slightly iridescent dial contrasts beautifully.

When I received my Aqua Terra it was packed in the usual Omega white box, within contained the typical red leather display box, but I was absolutely pleased what the latter contained.A Pristine satin finished metal bracelet watch that sparkled with quality. I really was torn between the Gold and Blue Hands & Markers. But I am so glad I chose the Gold!The Gold markers and hands add that touch of class that all can relate to. This is one classic looking, solid timepiece of high quality build that I say BUY!Get it before the price rises, which will be soon.I know it's still a grey market watch, but Amazon leaves the serial numbers intact. A True Swiss Chronometer!

On a more technical description, the Caliber 2500 Co-Axial Movement is an Omega in-house production that has a COSC rated movement with 44 hour power reserve that utilizes a free sprung balance without index which maintains isochronism over a longer period of time. The Co-Axial escapement can also go 10 years without maintenance, however it is in my opinion that the watch me serviced within a 5 year period as other parts are dependant on proper lubrication. Also, if your watch is frequently used in or near water, you should have it pressure tested for a possible compromise in the seals once a year. Always check to make sure the crown is screwed-in securely if winding is required to ensure a tight water seal.

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.
But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.
