An odd Omega by name but still it has got lots of character: my new Omega additon!
Seamaster Aqua Terra Railmaster.
It has an interesting mate black/dark grey dial.
Will it turn tropic/chocolate in 20 years time? 🤔
It makes a perfect, classy daily wearer with 39.2 mm and I am very happy with it!

Welcome to Club Rail, Count! . . .
. . . let's have a roll call of all the Rails in our Omega community. My 60th Anniversary . . . . . . salutes its second-generation predecessor. Thrilled, Art ...
Thank you, dear 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 ...
Are you referring to . . .
. . . 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 ...
Disco!
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.
Few wanted them back in the day . . .
. . . 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 am sure it will look bigger due to the dial and case design.
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.
I really like this one!
Very much my taste. Bracelet looks nice but I bet it’d also look great on a variety of straps and NATOs. Enjoy!
Thank you, dear RabidManatee.
Yes, black/grey NATO in particular will look fab with this one. But in all steel it Looks pretty masculine.
The bracelet tapers just a little, but it does.
None-tapering bracelets are not my first choice, albeit my Seamaster 300 from 2005 has got one, but here it is very elegantly done. ...
Big congrats on this new addition to your collection my dear Count. This is a beautiful version of the Railmaster offered not long ago which regretably was discontinued after only a few years of production.
It was offered in three ior four case sizes if my memory doesn´t fail. A 36mm, a 42 mm and a XXL version which of course was much larger. I I see you got the 39 mm one. I owned the 42 mm size one and enjoyed it so much. Now it resides in my son-in-law wat...
Thank you, dear Abel.
Yes, it is the middle sized one in 39.2 mm, you know me! 😀 No surprise to me that you have owned it too and that your former watch has a nice story behind it . I am trying to find the 36 mm version too as this 39.2 mm looks "big" and I assume in 36 mm it ...
My pleasure dear Count. The smaller 36 mm version looks more vintage I feel. But the larger 39mm looks very nice on your wrist. That´s just a matter of personal taste of course.
The Railmaster is a very interesting watch and as I said before I like the dial and easy time reading so much. Thank you for your kind comments my dear friend. Enjoy yours so much!!
Yes. more vintage in 36 mm and on a black leather strap it will be a fine dress watch.
In 39.2 mm it is sporty, masculine daily wearer.
Thank you so much dear Art for your kind comments. Agree with you. This watch was a lucky find made during the Pandemia lock down. It helped to bring a little joy during those so long months.
The watch is a true classic, as The Maltese Falcon film of course!! Thank you for sharing this clip! Cheers dear friend. Abel
Very tasteful vintage model and re-issue, dear Abel.
You are right, it is a very easy to read watch and the dial is asking your eyes to linger a little longer. I was kidding, when I asked myself about the tropical aging dial. You are right, it is unlikely. 😀
Thank you so much dear Count for your kind comments on the two watches I shared. Yes, of course I understood you were kidding about your watch aging. For us watch lovers...
... and collectors it´s a pitty we won´t see a watch aging with us as in the old times but I feel that the big market of watch owners will be happy to look at their watches and find their dials pristine for many decades (or may be forever?) I send my best...
Thank you, my friend. 😀
I couldn't reach this original one, but still I am quite content with the 2003 onwards version.
Absolutely great news! 👍
As I mentioned already, the 36 mm is of my interest too. The first generation is more a dream to me, but who knows!
My . . .
. . . comare for your soldato , and I'll thrown in a cugine to sweeten the deal. How's that for an offer you can't refuse?
Congratulations dear Count …
The size looks absolutely perfect on your wrist. A great choice for your collection. Best regards Captain
Thank ypu, dear Captain!
After a long hiatus finally a watch/an Omega that caught my serious attention and that doesn't break the bank.😀
I will ... these pictures were taken in my car, driving back from an AD, who adjusted the bracelet for my wrist.
I couldn't spare a minute to post my excitement.😇
Thank you, dear Reuven Malter.
I am very content with all: the price, condition (fuly seviced and refurbished). It is a tasteful watch for "little money".
Thank you dear myles 721. More shots have already been requested and will come soon, as just bought it today.
Will add a lume shot for you too.👍
O.k. ... here it is
All is uniformly green in real, the hands look just different on the picture. ...
Oh yeah, I went full bund!
The smaller case works great with the bund pad, then there's the cordovan smell, it truly is addictive! ...
Now that is a very surprising combination.👍
The mate grey dial, nicely captured on your shot, makes it look like a military watch and fits perfectly to this strap.
Thank you, dear halkcb. It is a quite nice allrounder, for any occasion, this Railmaster.
Yours is the same on that strap: fit for any occasion. I am also considring a bkack strap version in 36 mm, for a pure dress watch look. ...
