OMEGA SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA FINE JEWELLERY COLLECTION - 231.55.30.20.99.002WG
Tough and beautiful, the Seamaster Aqua Terra boasts the well-engineered 8421 co-axial movement, similar to the men's model. Lavishly feminine and highly bejewelled, it has a fully diamond-set dial amidst a vertical 'teck' structure on its face wrapped with a baguette-set diamond bezel. Luxuriate in its diamond-set sides for its case and crown. The bracelet is indulgently decorated with a fully diamond-set Omega-patented screw-and-pin bracelet with safety clasp. 44 baguette-cut circles the bezel, 176 round-cut diamonds sits on the dial, 8 baguette-cut diamonds embellishes the crown, and 1,478 round diamonds encrust the bracelet. Pure luxury at 16.434 carats.
Aptly, white gold replaces the traditional steel designs for the case, dials and hands for the Seamaster Aqua Terra to be the jewellery watch for the lady of substance.
Omega
In 1848, at the age of 23, Louis Brands opened a comptoir d'etabilissage, a sub-contracting sales office for watch manufacture. Four years, later, it was the largest producers of watches in Switzerland. A completely new pocket-watch calibre movement became a brilliant market performer when it went into production in 1894. Its major selling points were in its easily interchangeable parts and simplicity of construction. The company's banker, Henri Rieckel, suggested the name "Omega" for the new watch. The overwhelming success of the "Omega" name led to it being adopted as the sole name for all the watches of the company from 1903. Known for the chronometers, the watchmakers have since developed the co-axial escapement that eliminates impediments to accurate timekeeping and provide service intervals of up to 10 years.
