It's a new technology that's changing the game when it comes to engraving watch cases, whether they are the backs or the dials. The new trio of Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer just unveiled by Omega, one edition in titanium and two in steel, displays on its dial a reproduction of the Earth, seen from above the North Pole, made by laser engraving of continents and colors on a grade 5 titanium surface. An innovative engraving method with an impressive rendering for these watches designed to simultaneously display all time zones on the planet.
Although it is almost impossible to see it with the naked eye, the entire scenery is curved to mimic the natural curvature of the Earth. Around this topographic map, there is an indication of 24 hours under hesalite glass, divided into night and day sections.
A laser engraving of rare elegance. Omega
In titanium version, this 43 mm diameter Worldtimer has a black and gray dial entirely produced by laser, including colors. Added to this is a black satin-brushed ceramic bezel and blackened hands and hour markers coated with white Super-LumiNova, producing blue luminescence in the dark. This Worldtimer is available on an integrated structured black rubber strap with grey stitching, with a decorative link in satin grade 2 titanium and a clasp in grade 2 titanium.
In the steel version, these hours of the world features a satin green PVD dial topped by a polished/satin green ceramic bezel. Here, the hands and indexes are made of Moonshine gold, a homemade gold reminiscent of the color of the moon in the sky. One model is offered with a matching stainless steel strap with butterfly clasp, and the other with an integrated green rubber strap with grey stitching, additional polished steel decorative link and polished/satin folding clasp.
