In 2002, the Aqua Terra, released as a yachting oriented offshoot of the iconic replica rolex Seamaster, has always appealed to the maritime minded. Now the iconic Swiss watch brand has opened a fresh take on the sporty timepiece with the hopes that it will appeal to even more addictives. The most striking feature of the watch is a so-called “teak” dial, designed to evoke the deck of a sleek perfect yacht.
When it comes to the 2017 redesign, the model now “sails” horizontally as opposed to vertically, with much better effect. The Aqua Terra dial was originally modeled on the second generation Seamaster 300, a watch made well-known by James Bond. It has now been simplified with less text and a repositioned date window for a cleaner read, something 007 would appreciate under fire.
While, the rolex’s sweet collection continues to grow with this Aqua Terra. Available in both the size of 38mm and 41mm, the best replica watch is powered by the rolex’s Master Chronometer calibre 8900 / 8901 (41 mm) or 8800 (38 mm). The metal Aqua Terra bracelet has also been redesigned to achieve a better integration with the watch case.
Some 41 mm models now feature a rubber band for the first time, integrated into the case by an extra stainless steel or 18K Sedna gold link. Or it leather or NATO straps suits your tastes you can pick those up. The Aqua Terra is also popular by its wave-edged caseback design and “twisted” lugs. rolex has also made a statement of something special for the redesign of the collection: the 43mm Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Master Chronometer Limited Edition. It features a case made from a platinum-gold hybrid and a dial with an exterior surface of sand-blasted platinum-gold with 18K yellow gold indexes and hands coated in Super-LumiNova.
In worldtimer tradition the dial features a circle of global destinations printed in red for GMT, black for +1h in summer, and blue for places without daylight savings. In a signature touch, the destinations include the city of Bienne at GMT+1, the home of the fake rolex in Switzerland. The caseback has a wave-edged design feature and some engravings including the special Limited Edition number of each piece. Powered by the replica rolex’s calibre 8939, the Aqua Terra Worldtimer is water resistant up to 15 bar and comes on a brown leather strap with a platinum-gold foldover clasp.
