    Omega aqua terra green dial 2020


    I just saw this on a bracelet on you tube watch channel - it’s really stoped me in my tracks - how beautiful is that dial?

    That is nice. Just wish they had stayed with the vertical lines. They just looked better IMO.

    Lots of brands getting in on the green thing after popularity of Rolex

    Rolex didn't invent the colour green. It's also found in snot, frogs and trees, all of which came first.

    As it's an AT, probably 41mm.

    But l bet Omega weren't thinking about emulating snot, frogs or trees when they designed that dial...

    I agree with the comment about the vertical stripes being nicer, but l don't like them either - in my opinion the old 2500 movement dials were far nicer - less fussy.

    It comes in a 41mm or a 38mm.

    I like the green. Lovely looking watch. Not sure about the lines though. Also think the hands are mis-matched. The hour hand looks like it's end is missing. Would need to see it in the flesh.

    Fully agree on the direction of the stripes, no idea why they went to horizontal, it just doesn't look right.

    Funny how people perceive things differently. To me, the horizontal lines and date at 6 is a big aesthetic upgrade for the AT. I think this is the best looking version so far - combine that with the new 8800/8900 movement and it’s a damn fantastic watch.

    I thought they dropped the 38mm version when they went horizontal lines?

    No, the new version also comes in 38mm - although I believe in fewer colourways than the 41mm.

    As well as size difference, the 41 houses the 8900 movement which has the jumping hour hand, but no quick set date. Whereas the 38 has the 8800 which doesn’t have jumping hour hand, but does have quick set date.

    Just a case of deciding which size, colour scheme and complication you prefer. I’ve got my eye on the black 38mm for later this year or early next year.

    I agree with the date at 6. It's funny because my Turtle Save The Ocean has horizontal lines and looks perfectly fine, but it jars me here. Maybe it needs to be seen in the flesh.

    Not really my cup of tea but the combination of the green and the texture is both attractive and unusual.
    The horizontal lines don't really bother me, just adds to the uniqueness of the watch.

    Not my brew either but the colour is nice.
    I rather like greens at the olive/khaki end of the spectrum, but I see them more as winter muted colours. YMMV
