COUNT DE MONET introduces his new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Railmaster, a timepiece he praises for its character and suitability as a daily wearer. His post highlights the watch's distinctive matte black/dark grey dial and raises a pertinent question about its long-term aging. This article delves into the community's insights on this specific reference, exploring its various iterations and the evolving nature of watch dial patination.
. . . let's have a roll call of all the Rails in our Omega community. My 60th Anniversary . . . . . . salutes its second-generation predecessor. Thrilled, Art
I am glad to join the club! 😀 There is another version of this second generation, that I would like to have too. But it seems to be less often available on the market ...
. . . the compact version? I was close to getting this some fifteen years ago but held off for a Rail with an in-house movement. In retrospect I should've gone for this one as it's the perfect size for my wrist. Art
It seems to be quite "rare" as far I am now looking for one. I would rather wear it with a black leather strap, not saying the original brown doesn't look good.
. . . precisely because of their size. Too small. After a few years they were available at steep discounts. Now, they're sought after. Who knew?
I think it is a formidable dress watch in 36 mm. My 39.2 mm look "wide" and "bulbous" due to the very thinn bezel and domed sapphire.
