Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer Green // Review
What we’re looking at today might simply be a new dial colour, but it made quite a lot of noise when we introduced it a couple of weeks ago. Multiple reactions here and on our Instagram account made us realize that a dial colour can make a hell of a difference on a watch. So today we take a closer look, with our own live photos, at the brand new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer with a green dial… And it was absolutely necessary, as the subtle (yet hard to define) colour of this dial looks far better in real life than in official images.?Emerald, olive, forest, pine, British racing, jade, army… There are dozens of shades for green.

Keeping up with the latest trend for skeletonised watches, three new Certina DS-1 Skeleton models strip away most of the dial to reveal the mechanics of the automatic movement. The openworked dial of the Certina DS-1 Skeleton has a large circular cut-out area in the centre, exposing the matte grey bridges supporting the components of the Powermatic 80. Used by other mid-price brands like Tissot, Mido and Hamilton, the Powerm
