Omega Aqua Terra 8900 Review & Comparison
Hey guys, been a long time since I've written a new review, but I compared two new Aqua Terras to two last-gen Aqua Terras. I'd post it here but the images aren't formatted correctly for DWC so please check it out here: http://timelessluxwatches.com/reviews/o ... omparison/
Future reviews will be back to smaller images that I can post here, but with a 4 way comparison I had to keep the resolution pretty high for it not to lose too much detail.

The two tone is beautiful. And I don't like two tones in general. Nice write up.

Thanks! glad you liked it

Like the new ones- is there a gray dial? the rubber straps look good, too.

Yeah, exactly. Can't wait to try that one on in person. If I had to buy one today, it'd be the silver with blue accents, although probably on the bracelet.

I really prefer the slimmed up case without the crown sunk into the side. That's the best implementation of the twisted lug design I've seen in a long time. It's distinctive but doesn't create a sense of fatness. That is a very subtle improvement by omega's designers. I hate that gold sel thing on the new strap model though. That's typical stupid omega.

Great review! Love the Blue dial on steel. Curious when/if they will update the Day/Date and hoping it will wear just a bit smaller.TimelessLuxWatches wrote:Hey guys, been a long time since I've written a new review, but I compared two new Aqua Terras to two last-gen Aqua Terras.

I'm almost certain that a day/date will come eventually. The Aqua Terra will probably be 100 models total if history is any guide, so worry not, there will be plenty to choose from in 2-3 years.masterClock wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2017 10:56 am

I think I prefer the normal three hander myself, but I sometimes find myself liking the GMT versions (of the 2nd gen) as well.

Re: Omega Aqua Terra 8900 Review & Comparison
The good news on that is that it only comes on the rubber strap versions. The leather ones don't have it, so that's a viable option if you want to avoid the bracelet.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 3:10 pmI really prefer the slimmed up case without the crown sunk into the side.
