What colours come to mind when you picture the perfect summer day? Is it the deep blue of the ocean, the vivid green of lush tropical leaves, or the bright yellow of the sun? There is no wrong answer, for anything can feel like summer depending on each person. But for many, the colour blue (and all the shades that come with it, including turquoise) capture the summer season’s essence. This summer, OMEGA is channelling that feeling with two new Seamaster Aqua Terra models, dressed in a breathtaking turquoise. Just one look at these timepieces, and you can see how they embody a cool summer — right from their colours down to the choice of materials.

Summer, on your wrist

Right from the start, the striking colour combination of these new models grabs your attention. A cool, vibrant turquoise pairs beautifully with elegant black, creating a chic and sophisticated look that’s perfect for any cool summer adventures. Both watches feature black ceramic bezels and are paired with integrated black rubber straps, a brilliant choice for summer as they offer a comfortable and sporty alternative to the traditional steel bracelet seen on last year’s models.

Look closer and you’ll notice the finer details (and though small, these details are what truly makes these timepieces even more fascinating). The black rubber straps are stitched with subtle turquoise thread, a delicate but powerful feature that ties the entire design together and complements the standout turquoise dial. And that exact turquoise dial? It’s not just any simple turquoise. OMEGA has taken it a step further with a special varnish that creates a stunning black gradient effect. This visual shift mimics sunlight filtering through water, giving the dial a mesmerising, almost liquid quality. It’s like having a miniature, sun-drenched swimming pool on your wrist — a perfect summer vibe.

And that’s not all, because the attention to detail on these timepieces are truly amazing. The hour markers and hands are PVD-coated in black and filled with white Super-LumiNova. These details provide a sharp contrast against the turquoise dial and, when the lights go down, they glow a cool blue. It’s these small, significant details that really elevate the entire craftsmanship of the watch.

Precision Meets Performance

These new Seamaster Aqua Terra models are available in both a 38mm and a 41mm case size, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for everyone. The 41mm model is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900, which offers a power reserve of 60 hours. The smaller 38mm version houses the Calibre 8800, providing 55 hours of power.

Both movements are built to OMEGA’s rigorous standards, resisting magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss and carrying the highly respected METAS certification for superior precision and performance.

Beyond the movement, these watches retain all the key features that make the Aqua Terra a fan favourite. This includes the distinctive wave-edged caseback, a secure screw-in crown, and a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. Plus, with a water resistance of up to 15 bar (150 m / 500 ft), these watches are ready for anything your summer plans might throw at them, from a spontaneous swim to a leisurely summer day by the sea.

With their vibrant colours and meticulous craftsmanship, these two new OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra models are more than just watches — they’re an invitation to embrace the best parts of summer.
