In 2023, OMEGA introduced the newly upgraded Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer world time watch. This model marks the first use of a Grade 2 titanium case paired with a dial crafted using a laser ablation process. It boldly combines a black theme with a golden relief Earth, creating a highly impactful visual effect.
The 43mm case is made from lightweight and robust Grade 2 titanium and paired with a black-brushed ceramic bezel, achieving a subtle color harmony. The relief map of the Northern Hemisphere at the center of the gray dial is created using a laser ablation process. This technique requires controlling the laser ablation temperature at 1,470 degrees Celsius to achieve the striking golden oxidation effect, significantly elevating the technological sophistication of the dial craftsmanship. The inner ring of the dial and the crystal feature a domed, arched design, further accentuating the three-dimensionality of the relief map.
The hour, minute, and second hands feature blackened edges and are coated with white Super-LumiNova luminescent material, emitting a blue glow in dark environments. The outermost ring of the dial displays the names of world cities representing the 24 time zones. London, representing the UTC time zone, is highlighted in red, while the Swiss time zone uses BIENNE, the location of OMEGA’s headquarters. The bezel provides a black-and-white day/night indication over a 24-hour cycle.
