While not a professional dive watch number, this should be more than enough for the occasional spilled gin and tonic which can occur whilst pushing millions of dollars worth of chips across the table at your favorite Macau casino, as one might do wearing this watch. This being still an Aqua Terra, which is at its core a water-capable sport watch, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Master Chronometer also has a very respectable 150m of water resistance. The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Master Chronometer’s case is stylistically much the same as its other Aqua Terra relatives with turned lugs, a symmetrical design, and a conical crown, but the larger size and use of platinum elevates the piece overall in both presence and, of course, cost. ![]() Upsizing the case to 43mm from the 41mm width of most men’s Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra helped create dial space for all that information but also called for more of that sweet, sweet platinum. The contrast provided by the gold hands and indices also makes the main time very legible. ![]() Worldtimer dials can be a cluttered mess, and while the Aqua Terra Master Chronometer has a lot going on, the wealth of information is carefully organized and spread out over enough dial real estate to make the functions actually useful and easy to read. Note that the time zone often represented on worldtimer watches by Paris or Geneva is here represented as Bienne, Switzerland, where Omega is based. Surrounding the world map is a 24-hour register which is also color-coded black and white for day and night. The inner dial is sapphire crystal with an enameled map of the Northern Hemisphere as seen from the North Pole. Inside the outer ring of world destinations, there are 18k yellow gold applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova. Color choice for the world destinations is coded, with red representing GMT, black to mean these locations are plus one hour in the summer, and blue to demonstrate locales which do not observe daylight savings. The dial’s outermost portion is produced from “sand-blasted platinum-gold” and is printed with 24 world cities. ![]() Starting with the dial, Omega has combined high-end materials like platinum, 18k gold, and of course the elegant hand-enameled world map to produce something striking.
