What Do We Think About the Aqua Terra?

welshboy78

Yeah I remember when Skyfall and the watches came out and I was in the UK and Far East. All the marketing everywhere was for the Planet Ocean which of course was not even screen accurate material wise. The Aqua Terra got no marketing at all really. I went with the Aqua Terra as preferred 2500 series PO

I like the Skyfall AT. Earlier, someone suggested that part of the problem is it's not used on screen as much.

That’s not true though. It’s worn for 80% of the film and does get some great screen shots. More than the PO even though that had the gratuitous screen lingering shot in the digger.

Where would you say it's got some great shots in Skyfall? I feel like if Omega hadn't told us it was there we'd be hunting down its ID like that watch that has five frames of screen time at the end of SPECTRE )

Yeah I have to disagree too. I can't think of any good and clear shots of the watch. Maybe there's one or two semi-discernible images. But they're not good enough to leave an impression like the other watches have. He might be wearing it but we're not really seeing it.

I'm sure Craig wore socks for at least 80% of the film too. Doesn't mean we got a good look at them.

I wore mine to one of the six times I saw SF, the last being the traditional IMAX final night.

It is pretty visible in the underground chase and also when Bond takes the Jag...

My friends kept pointing it out everytime the AT was on screen

Well I noticed pretty clearly as went and bought it straight after!!

There are a few shots of the Aqua Terra in Skyfall where you get a fairly decent look:












This shot doesn't show it but in the film you can see it when his wrist is a bit higher:

My least favorite of the Bond Omegas but it is certainly the dressiest.

I always loved that glimpse of the Omega clasp when Bond opened the box in the art gallery. It’s what persuaded me to buy my one.

It is nice to see him in something other than a diving watch for a change.

For those with the Spectre model, do the polished center links make the watch harder to dress down?

I don’t think so, I wear mine with jeans and T-shirt etc. All the time

I’ve had mine on an OEM dark blue leather strap since getting the NTTD on the bracelet. Really love the look!
