The online store that buys, sells, and trades authentic luxury watches, we make these videos so you can easily choose the best watch for yourself in the comfort of your own home. We offer the lowest prices anywhere online. If you'd like to know the price, simply click on the links in the description below. We'd greatly appreciate it if you'd purchase your next ones from us at jaztime.com. Today, we'll be going over an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra world timer, in a stainless steel case and bracelet, reference number 220.10.43.22.03.001. For the sake of this video, we'll just call it the world timer, if we need to reference it, all right, so we're doing an unboxing first, and then we'll be showing you all of the features of the watch, the case, the bezel, the dial, the crown, the functions, et cetera. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on those as we go through it. All right, so opening the case here, we have the watch itself in a nice lacquered sort of a wood grain box, very natural feeling, right? And there's the watch itself in the center. We also have a list of instructions in the side here, as well as all the warranty information. All right, so we have the international warranty certification for the master chronometer as well as the pictograms pertaining to this specific model, all right? So, taking a look at the watch here. Very beautiful, okay. Now I only need the watch, so I'll be placing the rest of this back in here nicely. All right. And I'll just set this off to the side since we don't need the box for now. All right, and so here it is, the world timer. All right, it's based off of the Aqua Terra, as it's indicated in the name, taking the general case design and the symmetrical looks, but, you know, putting its own spin, almost literally, but, you know, the globe isn't actually a globe, and it doesn't rotate, but, you know, puns only come once in a while. So give me a break. Anyway, I will be continuing with the unboxing here, which includes removing of these stickers here. Okay, so we have a sticker that is placed directly over the high polished links, these intermediate links, as you can see, going down the bracelet, help protecting that high polish. Okay. The six o'clock and at the 12 o'clock. All right, that makes for a very beautiful presentation, those very new high polished links down the center with the brushing on the sides there. Okay. And I believe there's a little bit here left to take off, the Omega logo there. And there's also some on the clasp, or underneath the clasp, rather, which can be taken off rather easily. If you have the nails for it, at least, I don't. This is proving a little bit more difficult than I thought. Oh, I wish I had nails for this. Why do we do unboxings again? Oh, right, to give you the experience of opening it yourself. Okay, there we go. That was a trial and a half. And now for the other trial and half, making for a total of three trials, I can do math. Now, if they asked me to fully unbox a watch in record time, I probably would pass and wouldn't really want to do it. Okay, now the purpose of those stickers underneath is to help protect these interlinks from unnecessary grinding against this clasp here. So, all right, anyway, back to the watch itself. Okay, again, we'll be going over the case, the dial, the bezel, the crown, the functions, as well as the movement and the bracelet. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on these throughout the video. All right, so this case is 43 millimeters in diameter from finger to thumb, quite a chunker, but, you know, it's for good reason. It's 14.2 millimeters thick, again, quite chunky on the wrist. But again, it has its reasons. The 21 millimeters between lugs and from lug to lug, it is 49 and a half millimeters, still quite large. Again, we'll go over the reasons why, but, you know, first, the case, the material is entirely stainless steel with a satin brush finishing along the sides, as you would find on, you know, similar Aqua Terra models, also based off of the Seamaster, which is why it says Seamaster in the center there just above, well, out in the Pacific ocean, okay. The case also has these nice polished accents going down to the lugs, sort of enlarging, and then slowly tapering down as it meets the three o'clock and the nine o'clock positions giving it a very nice accent. Very nice glowing look, depending on the lighting source. Okay, and sitting above that is the bezel, entirely high polished on every single surface, domed and smooth, makes for a very good, clean appearance, because what is inside is what matters. Okay, so the case protects what's inside. It is a glare proof, sapphire, glare proof sapphire crystal, that, you know, is scratch resistant. So, you know, no fear of suit threads or buttons potentially damaging it on the front as well as the back. Okay, so you have a flat crystal on the back, so you can see into the movement there, right? And you can see all of the internal workings. Now the movement is what makes this such a large chunker of a time piece, okay. But first the dial, the dial is a blue color, a very, very deep blue, depending on the angle of light, you get quite a different range of blues. The most, the outermost ring is a sun brushed texture. So meaning that if you have a Sunray finished dial, say like Rolex, or, you know, Patek Philippe, or any other, you know, radial brushing finish, it has that same sort of radial brushing finish. So you get those, sort of like a Sunray that's been blocked out by the sort of middle non Sunray finished section here that has a vertical teak pattern, right. And within that, we have a 24 hour hesalite crystal ring, it's light half, in the daytime sections, it's light in one half for daytime sections and dark in the other half for the nighttime sections. All right, and it shows the center with the Earth's Northern hemisphere on a grade five titanium plate, the stuff of, you know, aircraft turbines and aerospace fasteners. So very, very strong materials used there, there's a laser etching on that titanium to create that natural color of that blue ocean with a relief of the Northern hemisphere continents and what appears to be a natural representation of the planet seen from above the north pole. Right, and when it comes to, you know, generally reading the style, maybe confusing at first, but let's dispel that right now. So in red, we have the London time zone, which is GMT or the Greenwich Meantime, right? So if you generally want to set your time for GMT, you'll have to do so when we go over the functions here, more on that in a moment. All right, so the silvery time zones, say, like, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, those are all done with the plus one hour during the summertime. So keep in mind that whatever hour is indicated underneath that time zone, just add an hour to that. All right, for daylight savings time, all the bluish time zones, say, like, Tokyo and Samoa are all in standard time zones with no daylight savings time. Right, so knowing all of this, each hour index marker corresponds to a location at the outer dial. So again, if we were to start with Los Angeles, we have the representation for Pacific standard time. And right now it is about 12:30 for me. Well, almost 12:30, 12:40, according to this watch. All right, so, yeah. And the locations within the hour track, slightly within, inside of the larger track represented with small triangles pointing directly to the corresponding hour marks on the 24 hour has a light crystal ring. So for example, you would have, say, Tokyo at the 1:30 position, it is almost, it is between five and 6:00 AM over there right now as of the making of this video. So if you want to do the math, you can do so, but once you really set this hesalite ring, you don't really need to set it any more than that. All right, and when it comes to setting it, well, we can go over that right now. So all you need to do is simply unwind the crown, which has a very deep knurling, very easy, very satisfying to turn, right? So unwind it. You can unwind just the first position and the first position that allows you to effectively wind the watch. So if you're at a dead stop, just 20 to 30 winds gets you going again. And once you feel that damping starting to pick up, that's when you can stop, all right? Pull out to the second position, and, well, you can move the hour hand without disturbing the movement of the seconds or the minutes hand, all right? So the hour hand is effectively what helps control the local time for you. Whatever you want to set the central mounted hands to, and by extension, you can also change the date. All right, so if you need to advance the date, you'll have to do so with the hour hand, you can't really do so very easily. There's no quick set of the date here, but ultimately, it comes down to how the hour hand will work, okay? Pull out to the final position, pull the crown out to the final position, note that it actually has that second hand, but there's no hour or second track. So it's a little bit more difficult to actually set the time on this watch in particular, but as long as you can get the ballpark close enough, you know, maybe set it when you're on a multiple of five minutes, that would make it a lot easier, okay? So you can set the time precisely with that seconds hand and with this movement of this minute hand, you can then also move the GMT, effectively, that large 24 hour dial mounted inside this dial, okay? So I don't want to move this too much because it is actually accurate as of the making of this video. We'll just say it's 10:10 right now, press the crown back in to get the watch started, to get the watch started again and simply wind the crown tightly against the case to ensure a 150 meter water resistance. Again, this is based off of the Aqua Terra, which has the 150 meter or 550 foot water resistance below sea level, all right. So what allows all of this to work? It's the caliber Omega 8938, a cell finding movement with coaxial escapement, certified master chronometer approved by METAS, meaning that it has passed eight rigorous tests set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. So you can be sure that this time piece is not only accurate, but actually precise. And to maintain this position it's resistant to magnetic fields, reaching 15,000 gauss, meaning that you can get close to an MRI, a magnetic resonance imaging machine, and, you know, not actually have it affect the timekeeping. Well, I wouldn't recommend that you do so, in fact, keep it away from an MRI, but should you be exposed to those extremely powerful electromagnetic waves, This will keep the time, regardless of that. It's also equipped with a free-sprung balance wheel with silicone balance spring with a bi-directional winding rotor, as you can see on the back there, with those geneva waves etched in there. All right, and that bi-directional winding rotor helps you wind this watch simply by wearing it. So all you really need to do is just a wind at once with the crown and just wearing it on your wrist will keep it wound. It has a rhodium plate of finish with geneva waves in Arabesque, giving it that very pleasant aesthetic reminiscent of the ocean. All right. If I can hold it better in the light, you can see it better there, okay? And so the movement allows for all of this to work. The center mounted hour, minute, and seconds hands with the stop seconds, as well as the hour hand control, separate from the minute and seconds, four times setting, along with the 24 hour inner dial. Also central mounted along with the date window at the six o'clock position. Altogether, what matters at the end of the day is that the power reserve is 60 hours. So you can actually sit down on Friday evening, pick it back up on a Monday morning, and it'll be keeping track of time just fine. Right, and finally, the last part here is the bracelet, high polished steel, again, down the center with those intermediary links, with a satin brush finish on the outer links, high polish along the sides there. All right, leading down to that double deployment clasp there with the Omega stamped logo on there, or actually it's more etched in there with a very nice diffusing texture, very nice texture that diffuses the light very nicely while the satin brush finishing creates sort of like bands of light to make a very nice contrast, right? So it's a double deployment button system. So it only really opens if you press both buttons in, doing so will allow you to lift open the side with the Omega logo and you can then just pull out the other side, a very nice and easy, convenient way to get this fitted on a tighter, you know, a more snug fit or on a smaller wrist. All right, and while we're here, we can actually try it on as well. All right, be sure to clasp one side and then the other, because the Omega logo actually overlaps the other side very slightly, so you don't want to do it the other way around. Right, and keep in mind, my wrist is 7.25 to 7.5 inches in circumference. So this is a bit large on me. I will have to remove a couple of links if I were to wear this myself, but taking a look at it on the wrist, this is, again, a chunker, and it's all to house that movement and to allow you to effectively see, you know, all the details within the globe, right there at the, you know, of the Northern hemisphere, at least, it's very, very highly detailed. I don't even know if the camera's able to pick up all of those tiny, tiny details within that globe there, but it's quite an experience to behold. All right, so when it comes to looking at it on the wrist, it's honestly a little too big for me, because that lug to lug distance really, you know, adds so much to this. It makes it wear like a 50 millimeter watch, you know, almost five centimeters, really, it's gigantic, it's huge, but you know, for good reason, you want to be able to tell the time precisely, you want to be able to read all of the locations. And if you have friends who are in other time zones, you can know when to call them without waking them up. You know, when to call them, you know, when they're not in their business meeting or, you know, you can call them during a time when it's actually convenient for them and for you as well, all right? And so keeping that in mind, the overall wearing experience here, it's very heavy on the case side, not so much on the bracelet side. So you get kind of a big heavy chunker on one side of the wrist. It's very noticeable when you're wearing, but, you know, again, you're getting this for the function. You're getting this because you want to be able to communicate with people all around the globe in this current time, when we have a global pandemic, well, this is still very useful. You can still give calls to people, say you have colleagues or associates, employees in other parts of the world, you can communicate them and you'll know effectively what time it is in their time zones, right? So very, very useful there. Still, even though, you know, you can't really travel, and once travel actually opens up, this will continue to be just as useful, if not more so, all right, and when it comes to the overall weight distribution, again, very, very wobbly. But I think that a lot of that is due to the fact that it's not really fitted for me, if this was a tighter fit, I'd probably feel it much less because this stainless steel bracelet does act as a very good counterweight to that very heavy and very thick case. Would it fit under a suit cuff? I wouldn't say so, but hey, you can still test it out because this bezel is domed. So it's very likely that this could fit under sort of a looser fitting cuff. Certainly not a form fitting cuff, because, you know, over 14 millimeters in thickness, it's going to be quite a thick boy. It's a chunker, but, you know, you get what you pay for with this one. And, you know, it certainly shows and it feels like it. All right, so enough of what I think, what do you think about this watch? Would you consider getting something like this, having all 24 hours of the world at your disposal, all in one spot, no need to Google? You know, "What time is it in Honduras right now? "What time is it in Moscow?" You can just look at your watch and it's right there. All right, so let us know what you think down in the comments below. Would you get something like this, because, you know, it has that effective convenience. And at this price point, it's honestly a steal.
