SSTEEL 0 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Spotted this on another forum, and thought I would share it here. Really interesting video.. Earlier today at the Setai hotel in midtown Manhattan, the global CEO of Omega, Stephen Urquhart, and the head of product development, Jean-Claude Monachon, introduced the first truly anti-magnetic watch technology (resistant up to 15,000 gauss). Presented inside a prototype Seamaster Aqua Terra , the new movement — caliber 8508 — is the first of many movements that will receive the new technology as Omega has announced that all Co-Axial equipped timepieces will eventually receive this technology. http://professionalw..._new_.html#more Edited March 18, 2013 by SSTEEL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harriskitty 0 Posted March 18, 2013 Very clever, and I'm not surprised they're giving nothing away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted March 18, 2013 I would imagine they are using internal components made of some new material instead. Maybe ceramic, or similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harriskitty 0 Posted March 19, 2013 No chance of it being ripped seen as how even water proofing is an issue *repped* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAGster 5 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Amazing! thanks for sharing! That could be another way to tell if the piece is a rep or a gen by simply using a magnet. :yoohoo: I´ve been putting my cents to the savings for a while towards one gen blue Aqua Terra, maybe next month I would be able to finally get it.

Lev 6 Posted March 20, 2013 Wow. Feckin love Omega. Class watch company and definitely innovators. I also fell in love with the Aqua Terra when I saw Daniel Craig wear it in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Anybody have a rep of it or any experience? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also fell in love with the Aqua Terra when I saw Daniel Craig wear it in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Anybody have a rep of it or any experience? That was exactly what happened to me also: saw Skyfall and fell in love with the blue Aqua Terra. I have a rep of the Aqua Terra but is black with the numbers on the markers on green, which I believe is the rep of the AquaTerra Golf. As far as I know there is no rep of the blue one.

I think as long as it sort of conveys the aesthetic of the gen I'm ok with it. Is it decent? The one he has in GwDT is black face as well so I don't mind that. I actually prefer the black over the blue but hey thats like saying I like girls with black hair over blond. I'd still do both! Still great either way Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still great either way Haha The rep is decent mate, the only thing I did not kind of liked is the bracelet, it looks like they toke a planet ocean one and put it onto the Aqua Terra and I don´t know if because of that, the case sits high at the end links, but overall is a good rep. Mine has a 21j which runs flawlessly. The watch is big, is a 44mm case, so compared to the gen 38.5 AquaTerra from Skyfall it looks huge. Here are some quick pictures of my rep with the gen for comparison: Hope the images helps. BTW the rep was sourced by WI. Cheers mate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
