What do you fine people think of the new Seamaster Aquaterra Ultra Light?
Don't know if many have had the chance to see one yet but I think it is uber cool. It is targeted to the golfer or anyone who does extreme sports or activities with lots of G forces since the movement was made to be uber resistant to shock. I really like ...
Love everything beside price and rubber stitching...
Armand Duplantis wore the same watch breaking one of the oldest and most legendary athletic records... ...
Yes, twice...
insane heights and he is only 21.... speaking of heights and ultralight watches, Mutaz Essa Barshim who jumps just 2cm shy of Javier Sotomayer 28 years old record wears Richard Mille 067-02...
I really like it
It is a very cool concept. A few pieces came to mind: 1) An FPJ linesport 2) A Zenith Defy Lab (half the price) 3) A FM Vanguard Line Cut (1/4 of the price)
If I had the funds
I would gamble it on this piece to become a rare classic. So far, no one has reviewed this marvel on youtube holding the piece. Yes, RM is spectacular. I thought about the Bubba Watson piece and the Nadal piece when I saw this, too.
I feel you. Trust me, if it was under 15k € I would have picked it up on the spot. At more than 3X that, it is not exactly an impulse buy although I do really like the concept of it's creation and design 😁
I already wear almost all my watches for sports activities, including golf. Since this watch was conceived expressly for a golfer, it hits differently for me 🤷♂️
Here is an aluminium GP I had along this lightweight theme
But nowhere near the complexity of this Omega That Omega is bound to remain very confidential with such a price tag credit WatchesGMT ...
Cool GP and I remember that model. Very innovative at the time with the use of aluminum, long before FPJ did so...
This Omega is really something else. I understand why they used titanium for essentially every part of the watch but I would have been even more impressed if they went above and beyond and use some mixture of metals or carbon to make it even lighter. In t...
+1 it is a perfect watch but trying to comprehend the upcharge - Nothing really stands out about the mvmt except it has Ti bridges. Nothin special to compensate for shocks. I understand something successful...
...overtime fetching a collectible premium but right out of the gate asking premium for a dry run doesn't quite equate. Moreover as handsome it is, It doesn't luk like a 50k watch or a 25k watch. Some watches eg Omega Apollo 11 50th black/yellow IIRC luk ...
Actually the watch is entirely from Ti, not just the bridges (case, dial, entire movement, etc...) but I do understand your point. We also have to consider that it is their first offering so most likely quite a but of R & D involved...
I still think it have an appeal to a select few but I don't know if it is Omega's intention to target a small segment or eventually use the tech in this watch to use in future projects. I am intrigued by this piece and if it had another brand name on the ...
Not in my case or at least I m indifferent. Like I stated above some watches luk more expensive than they are and some don't. This watch doesnt
feel like its more expensive than their Apollo 50th offering. The ones pictured below do. You cud write PP on both watches and add another 0 to their prices but it wudnt change the fact that one luks more luxurious than another. And I like that AT as much...
I see your point but we could say the same thing about certain Richard Mille watches in what they call NTPT which is fancy for high tech plastic 🤣LOL...
Not all watches which cost more have to look like they do. We can see this even from brands like Rolex or any other 😉
Sure why not. I’m sure the economies of scale to produce that Ti movement isn’t to their favor; at least not in the short term. And it’s not like they just made an aqua terra with a different case metal and called it a day. It’s “purpose built” ..
The only thing I don’t like about it is the strap design. I’m not a big fan of using a metal endlink and then hooking it up with a rubber or leather strap. Overall, I like it. It has, albeit loosely, a Journe Sport feel to it. That backside is very nice ...
One thing is for sure, I don’t think you will ever see anyone else
With this watch on in the wild...
In a land where Lamborghinis make less sense than usual . . .
. . . Laurent Ferriers make rather more. ;-)
You're probably right Ted but my guess is that would be the case for many different models, not just this one...
And as commented by Art, maybe someone from Singapore, HK, etc...at least more likely than in other markets 🤷♂️🤔
It’s definitely very cool 😎 ...
Just look at that moment. Modern elegance. If they could just sell it for around €20,000.
A great watch!
I think the development costs are somehow being reflected in the price here. I think because of this its going to be a rare bird, especially the first series. Great watch nevertheless. Cheers Alberti
Adore it to maximum
In all it’s facets it’s a truly dream watch for me. I wil forever chose this watch over a RM. Maybe it is the best watch of the world? The barrier is to high for me, and i do not won anything in the lottery yesterday (bad lottery 😎). Luckily my Seamaster ...
Yes but...
1. I think they need a top golfer to personally endorse / PA the watch. 2. Why not ceramic? 3. Not sure Aqua Terra deserves price tag...maybe a new line?...
Let me respond to all 3 of your points...
1. Agree with you on the 1st point. Even though Rory McElroy has his own Speedmaster in full gold, he should be wearing this Ultralight during competition or just afterwards to help market the watch. 2. Although ceramic is lighter than Ti, it is nowhere a...
This one is so cool, love the fact that it's manual wind and the telescopic crown is awesome!
The price tag is unfortunate though, a hard pill to swallow given that a standard Aqua Terra gets you 95% the same look and is IMO more attractive. Regarding golf watches, what do you think of Hublot's btw?
Agree with you about the movement mon ami but I also like the lyre lugs on this one. Gives it a cooler look. Now between this and the JLC EL2, easy choice for me since the EL2 has more practical functionality but also wears bigger...
This would be an uber cool pairing with the EL2 for those looking for this sort of hyper technical watch 😉👍
