Omega could never disappoint you by failing to offer some marvelous watch models and designs sensationally and impressively. If you're considering purchasing yourself a nice new Omega, you could do a lot worse than taking a look at the novel Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds. Nevertheless, you wouldn't want to take too long deliberating over your determination, as the fantastic new piece is only available in two highly limited versions.

Created in either 18Kt rose or white gold, the Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds will be limited to just 88 sets in each edition worldwide, so considering Omega's huge loyal following it wouldn't be too much of a stretch of the imagination to supposing that fairly soon they will all be in the hands of collectors.

The novel Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds is a giant 49.2 mm across but it's pièce de résistance for me is the surprising white enamel dial with vintage style arabic numerals, a recessed sterling silver small seconds subdial with guilloche that positioned at the 6 o'clock position and the blue steel hands which have been laser cut so that each hand is crowned with the symbolic Omega motif. The effect of this integration of classic styling themes with stylish production techniques is simply magnificent.

Power is delivered through the Omega Cal.2211 C.O.S.C. officially certified chronometer movement which itself can be viewed via the sapphire crystal exhibiton caseback. It comes on an alligator skin strap with 18Kt rose or white gold tang buckle.

As Omega, under the captaincy of Nicolas Hayek, continues its push upwards and break away from its perceived image of entry-level luxury timepieces towards parity with the noble Rolex, the quality of workmanship and design of many of their recent pieces surely offer a solid basis for Mr Hayek's edition for the brand. The novel Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds marks another step on the journey.

If I had one grumble, it would only be that the timepiece will only be available in the two 88-piece versions in their exotic metal and not a more widely available and durable stainless steel edition. But then, that's the whole point of crafting a desirable limited version watch for the few loyal addicts. It adds further kudos to the brand which already bears millions of proud owners, containing myself! Surely and undoubtedly, this new watch design will find its own distinctive position among the large group of its peers in the whole replica watches house of the brand.
