Omega’s Ultra-Light Seamaster Aqua Terra Debuts As Duplantis Breaks World Record
Last June, we announced a special edition of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M that paid homage to Armand Duplantis, the Olympic pole vault champion who held the world mark of 6.24m.
As promised, the Swedish athlete once again made history at the Paris Olympic Games, setting a new world record of 6.25m, winning the gold medal in that category, on his wrist, contrary to what one might expect, he did not have the Aqua Terra unveiled a few months ago but a new one in Titanium.
The new Titanium ultra-light Aqua Terra 150M, which did not receive a press release from Omega, is now available on the brand’s website for the hefty price of € 56,900, doing justice to the premium materials it uses inside and out and which makes it weigh just over 50g.
The new Seamaster comes in a sand-blasted Gamma Titanium case with dimensions of 41mm in diameter, 13.50mm in thickness and 49.20mm in length, featuring a sand-blasted silicon Nitride bezel ring, sapphire crystal on both sides, Tuked-in crown and 150m of water tightness.
The dial once again features the blue horizontal striated pattern with yellow details in a clear allusion to the colours of the athlete’s homeland with three centre hands which adds a time-zone function, which makes the hour hand jump forward or backwards offering a second time zone.
Once again inside we find the innovative and super light full Titanium Caliber 8928 Ti hand-wound movement recently revealed, which is Master Chronometer-certified operating at a frequency of 3.5 Hz and offering up to 3 days of power reserve.
The watch arrives attached to a rubber strap in the same tones as the blue and yellow dial Sweden.
