Omega Seamaster GMT

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Omega is going to launch a new Sea-master Aqua Terra GMT Chronograph. Sized at 44mm, the Omega new watch is presented on stainless steel or 18k rose gold. The gray dial features deck-of-boat texture - the so called "Teak Concept" dial with vertical line pattern. The dial some interesting new features. Firstly, it is applied with 18k gold hands and hour markers on the steel version and the rose gold version. Secondly, for the first time, Omega places the text inside the seconds subdial at 9 o'clock. This design keeps the dial neat and nice and highlights the wording of "Omega Sea-master GMT".Thirdly, the chronograph sub-dials are reasonably positioned.

However, things never go perfect. I believe many people will agree with me that the red GMT hand looks a little stubby though it can reach the hour marker. Besides, I do not like those hands on the subdials which look a bit larger. The bezel looks nice and really stands out from the overall design. What I love is the edge design and the meticulous treatment. But personally, I do not like the Arabic font used on the bezel which does not go well with the luxury style of the watch.

The watch has sapphire crystal face with double anti-reflective coating. The display case back offers a clear view of the Omega's automatic Co-Axial escapement caliber 3603 movement. This chronometer certified movement has a column wheel chronograph, GMT complication and the date.

The new Omega watch is coupled with steel or rose gold bracelet. An alligator leather strap is also available for choosing. The watch is water resistant to 150 meters.
