Put The Earth On Your Hands - Omega Seamaster AT 150 GMT

2023 also coincides with the 75th anniversary of the birth of the Seamaster series. This series of works was completely upgraded in May last year, and the "Summer Blue" series was launched in August, including an AT 150 GMT with a special ice blue dial. The best Omega Seamaster replica watches at captainthewatch.is.


In terms of size data, the watch has an iconic symmetrical case design of 43 mm and a thickness of 14.1 mm. Just looking at the size may make some watch friends think it is too big, but in fact, being larger does make the world time disk indication clearer.

In terms of decoration, the side of the stainless steel case is mainly brushed, while a large number of polished finishes are decorated on the front and angular edges of the case. This polishing also extends to Omega's iconic twisted lugs. It is worth noting that this model does not have a ceramic bezel like the previous green version or the titanium black version. Instead, it uses a stainless steel bezel. From my understanding, Omega wants to match Summer with its metallic luster. The special disk color equipped with Blue creates a more integrated and harmonious visual effect.

This set of 75th anniversary summer blue series works has unique summer blue tones on the dial based on the different waterproof depths of each watch. The shallower the waterproof depth, the more icy blue the disk surface is, just like the sea level you look up at when snorkeling. The color of the 6,000-meter-deep diving disk like the Seamaster Ultra Deep is dark blue, symbolizing the dark deep sea extremes. The Seamaster Aqua Terra world time watch in the picture is 150 meters waterproof. Its ice blue dial is matched with teak deck pattern, which is rich in texture and refreshing and cold, which represents the light blue sea level. Omega also made a certain gradient outward with the central earth as the center, and modified the sun pattern effect. At the same time, in order not to affect the overall vision of the disk, Omega also specially made the date display at six o'clock with an ice blue background.

The world time function of the watch is also intuitive and unique to operate, which is different from the conventional world time. First of all, the two outermost city rings on the Seamaster disk cannot rotate. Only the 24-hour scale ring on the inner ring made of plexiglass is movable. However, as long as the wearer aligns the 24-hour ring with where you are at any time, After the local time, for example, it is 14 o'clock in the afternoon in Beijing, the map will be aligned with 14 o'clock in Beijing, and the accurate time around the world will be at your fingertips. When traveling, you only need to pull out the crown and adjust the hour and minute hands to the local local time zone. The world time still refers to the inner 24-hour ring, with the light blue scale area indicating daytime and the dark blue scale area indicating night time. This way of using Omega with reference to the world time is not only excellent in legibility, but also convenient and easy to use.
