Omega, renowned for its horological creativity, continues to break new ground with the expansion of its Worldtimer collection. The luxury watchmaker has unveiled three new captivating additions to the Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer 2023 series, showcasing innovation in material, colour, and design.
Titanium, recognised for its lightness and corrosion resistance, plays a significant role in Omega’s new offerings. One of the standout features of the latest Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer is its laser-ablated titanium dial, offering a stark contrast with the previously released platinum and steel models from 2017 and 2019.
The titanium model (reference 220.92.43.22.99.001) impresses with a topographic map of the world, as viewed from above the North Pole. The entire black and grey dial, including its colours, is crafted by laser ablation, providing a sense of depth and detail to the design. The unique aesthetic continues with a red hand-applied varnish on the word ‘London’ highlighting Greenwich Mean Time, now known as Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). Framed by a brushed black ceramic bezel, the watch face is complemented by blackened hands and indexes that radiate a blue glow in the dark, thanks to the white Super-LumiNova filling. The timepiece is priced at Euro 13,600 / US$ 11,800. Also be sure to chek our list of the best titanium watches for men.
Complementing the titanium model are two stainless steel alternatives, each with distinct design elements. Featuring green sun-brushed PVD dials encircled by a polished-brushed green ceramic bezel, these timepieces boast hands and indexes crafted from 18K Moonshine gold. The first stainless steel model comes with a matching bracelet (reference 220.30.43.22.10.001), while the other is paired with a green rubber strap (reference 220.32.43.22.10.001). Their respective prices are Euro 11,900 / US$ 10,400 and Euro 11,700 / US$ 10,200. And don’t forget to check other 32 best green faces watches.
All the Worldtimer 2023 models offer water resistance up to 15 bar (150 metres / 500 feet) and feature scratch-resistant ceramic bezels. Their 43 mm x 14.1 mm cases, framed by slightly domed hesalite glass, present a 24-hour indication divided into night and day sections, underscoring Omega’s attention to detail and functionality.
Each timepiece in the collection is powered by the self-winding Master Chronometer Calibre 8938. This in-house calibre, visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, offers a 60-hour power reserve and boasts a free sprung-balance with a silicon balance spring. The watch and its movement are tested rigorously by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), ensuring precision, water resistance, and a robust anti-magnetic resistance to fields up to 15,000 gauss.
With the introduction of these models, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer series further solidifies its status as a watch for all occasions, equally fit for casual chic wear and weekend adventures. Seamlessly merging craftsmanship, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, the latest Worldtimer models are a testament to Omega’s relentless pursuit of horological perfection.
