2015 Omega Aquaterra 231.23.39.21.02.001 39mm Canadian delivery. $6,000.00 CAD. 510-00227

They are functional and make a lifestyle statement without saying a word. Omega Seamasters have always been a do it all design. They are water resistant, tough, durable designs with great features. A super hard domed synthetic sapphire crystal should keep the scratches at bay. Easy to read striped tapestry silver/white dial with applied luminous markers and broad arrow second hand make for quick time interpretation day or night. The 39mm case is fitted with a top grain chocolate brown alligator hide leather strap and deployment buckle making the watch very comfortable and slightly more casual.  A solid 18 karat rose gold bezel gives the watch a softer appearance than a traditional yellow gold on steel look. Rose gold is created by adding small amounts of copper while still keeping the gold purity to 75%. From Omega’s website they describe this alloy as Sedna Gold: “OMEGA has been using the exclusive 18K Sedna^TM Gold, its own fiery rose gold alloy, since 2012. Named after Sedna, an orbiting planetoid that has been described as one of the reddest in the solar system, Sedna^TM Gold not only bears all the standard characteristics of other 18K golds, but it also offers high resistance to the fading of colour and lustre over time. Its unique composition includes copper and palladium for colour and stability”. Omega’s in house calibre 8500 is fitted behind a threaded display back. The 8500 is a fully in house developed proprietary movement consisting of over 200 individual parts. A new silicon hair spring helps make the watch resistant to magnetic fields greater than 15,000 gauss! A handy time zone feature comes standard allowing rapid hour changes without affecting the minutes or seconds. The patented co-axial power escapement is said to be more accurate over longer service intervals compared to conventional designs. A Twin barrel mainspring extends power reserve 50% more than a typical automatic watch to 60 hours. Adjusted in 5 different positions and for temperature change this mechanism easily qualifies for chronometer grade accuracy levels. The improved externally threaded waterproof tube has helped bring the water resistance rating to 500 feet. The previous owner purchased this watch from us a number of years ago and recently traded it in for something new. It is in lightly worn original condition, it has never been polished or refinished in any way. The original crocodile strap shows almost like new with now creasing on worn areas. The previous owner has a small collection of high end watches and only occasionally used this one. The minor scuffs and light scratches can easily be removed in just a few minutes while you wait should you choose to make the watch look like new. It comes with the thick lacquer wooden Omega box and all documentation and instructions. The authorized Canadian dealer endorsed warranty card is dated October 2015. Instruction booklet and outside box complete the package. Our Aqua Terra 231.23.39.21.02.001 has has been retired and replaced with a slightly larger 41mm version reference 220.23.41.21.02.001 looking almost the same for a price of $13,400.00 CAD.
