Among Omega’s most versatile models, the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M has always struck a balance between elegance and sportiness. Now, with the arrival of a new Turquoise dial, the collection embraces a bolder personality. This release may look subtle on paper, but on the wrist it offers a refreshing twist that will certainly resonate with collectors who appreciate color done right.
The Aqua Terra’s Place in Omega’s Line-up
Since its debut in 2002, the Aqua Terra has represented Omega’s idea of a go-anywhere luxury watch. Positioned between the professional Seamaster divers and the dressier De Ville models, it offers versatility with a maritime touch. The “150M” in its name refers to the 150 meters of water resistance, enough to handle swimming and light diving, while still refined enough to slip under a cuff. In recent years, Omega has used the Aqua Terra as a canvas for experimenting with dial textures and shades—from earthy tones to pastel hues. This new turquoise execution continues that story, but with a sharper, more contemporary edge.
Case, Movement, and Technical Details
The watch is housed in a 38 or 41mmmm stainless steel case, perfectly sized for modern tastes and suitable for both men and women. Its finishing alternates between polished and brushed surfaces, catching the light with subtlety rather than flash. The turquoise dial is lacquered, smooth, and highly legible thanks to applied rhodium-plated indices and hands coated with Super-LumiNova.
Inside beats the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 or 8900, depending on the size of the watch, visible through a sapphire caseback. Certified by METAS, it offers not only COSC-level precision but also resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss—a hallmark of Omega’s engineering. The movement runs at 25,200 vibrations per hour, features a free-sprung balance with silicon balance spring, and provides a 55-hour or 60-hour power reserve.
This is more than a pretty dial variation; it is a technically robust timepiece designed for real-world use. Few watches in this segment combine such strong horological credentials with a playful aesthetic.
Wearing the Turquoise Aqua Terra
What sets this model apart is the dial color. Turquoise is not just a trend—it is a statement. In natural light, the shade radiates freshness and makes the watch feel almost like a summer essential. Paired with a coordinated turquoise stitched black rubber strap, it projects a casual and youthful vibe, while still maintaining the refinement expected from a Swiss luxury watch.
This is a watch for those who enjoy versatility. It can move effortlessly from a linen shirt at a seaside café to a business setting with a steel bracelet swap. The Aqua Terra has always been about adaptability, and this turquoise version makes that philosophy even more expressive.
Price, Availability, and Final Thoughts
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Turquoise is priced at $7,300 USD and is now available through Omega boutiques and authorized retailers worldwide. While the design may appear playful at first glance, it is underpinned by serious watchmaking—robust construction, an in-house Master Chronometer movement, and a design that has proven itself for over two decades.
In my view, this release highlights Omega’s ability to balance heritage with modern tastes. By embracing color in a measured yet impactful way, the brand continues to expand the Aqua Terra’s appeal without losing its identity.
And honestly—sometimes, the right dial color can make you fall in love with a watch all over again. But if you are looking for more subtle colors, here is another recent release from Omega that you should take a look at : the Seamaster Diver 300M in Orange !
