The side view is required viewing . . .

Ming and I stopped by the Beverly Hills Omega boutique last Thursday . . .
. . . to see the new Aqua Terra chronometers, as well as a few other models. First off, my personal favorite, the co-axial Omega central tourbillon with flash . . . . . . and without . . . These are the best pics I could take, so I hope Ming had better lu...
Besides the current co-axial central tourbillon, there were a few others . . .
. . . starting with a third generation white gold model . . ....
. . . and a very rare item, a platinum central tourbillon . . .
. . . with diamonds . . . . . . this one is spoken for, I believe....
Next up, the De Ville annual calendars . . .
. . . in steel with white dial . . . . . . and on strap with two-tone grey dial . . . . . . easily my favorite discovery of the day in this configuration....
The side view is required viewing . . .
. . . to absorb the De Ville in toto . . ....
The mandatory wrist shots . . .
. . . complete the photo-essay. Given the quick-set annual calendar complication along with the reasonable asking price, this model should be a consideration for anyone contemplating a dress calendar watch....
It's also available in white gold . . .
. . . but candidly, my preference for value tips heavily in favor of steel....
Sorry, folks, but I was unable to take a decent movement photo . . .
. . . this is the best I could get....
We made the trip specifically for the new Aqua Terra . . .
. . . so, without further ado, here are the best pics I could take: Hope these photos help, Chris ;-) . . . cordially, Art...
Thanks, I was waiting for those pictures
Haven't seen a lot of Aqua Terra pictures yet, so thanks for posting. I prefer the black (or gray) teak dial, but the white one is pretty neat too. So what did you think about this watch? You made your trip specifically for the new Aqua Terra so do you li...
I never considered this model before...
...but it's growing on me. It's classy, but there is something slightly aggressive about the geometry of the hour markers, hands, calendar display, and overall color palate of this watch. I can't quite put my finger on it. Thanks for the photos! Daos
There is a ladies version, Daos . . .
. . . not sure if you're into bling, but at least you've got an option . . . cordially, Art...
Thanks for the photo, Art.
My previous comments were actually geared toward the DeVille, but it is interesting to see this ladies model Aqua Terra. I think the men's Aqua Terra is a much more successful design, compared to its feminine counterpart. Cheers, Daos
Whoops! I guess I should proof my responses a little . . .
. . . more carefully . . . sorry, Daos. Warm regards, Art This message has been edited by Dr No on 2009-01-28 09:00:29
Skeleton Omega Seamaster and tourby...
The Omega skeleton Seamaster is hot!!!!! -MW...
Are there any macro photos of the skeleton Seamaster?
I'm very curious to see it up close. In person, did you feel the hour/minute hands vanished against the skeletonized dial? Intriguing piece nonetheless. Cheers, Daos
