Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Omega Aqua Terra cost on eBay?
Omega Aqua Terra prices on eBay range from $1,800 for older quartz references to $5,500-$7,500 for the current 150M models with Co-Axial Master Chronometer movements. The sweet spot for value is the previous-generation 150M (refs 231.10.xx) at $2,500-$4,500 — genuine Omega quality with Co-Axial movements at significant discounts from retail.
Is the Omega Aqua Terra a good watch?
The Aqua Terra is widely considered one of the best luxury sport/dress watches available. It features Omega's Master Chronometer certification (resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss), the Co-Axial escapement for exceptional accuracy and longer service intervals, 150m water resistance, and a design that works with both suits and casual wear. Many watch enthusiasts consider it the best 'one-watch' collection.
What size Omega Aqua Terra should I buy?
The Aqua Terra comes in 34mm, 38mm, and 41mm (current generation). The 38mm is the most versatile — it wears perfectly as a dress watch and daily driver for most wrist sizes. The 41mm is ideal for larger wrists or those who prefer a more modern presence. The 34mm is designed for smaller wrists or those who prefer a vintage-sized watch.
Does the Omega Aqua Terra hold its value?
The Aqua Terra holds its value well for a non-Rolex luxury watch. Pre-owned values are typically 40-55% of retail MSRP, which is strong for Omega. The teak/wave dial versions and limited editions hold value best. Older Co-Axial models (2500 movement) have also stabilized and are slowly appreciating as the movement's reputation has matured.
How do I spot a fake Omega Aqua Terra on eBay?
Key checks: the dial texture (teak/wave pattern should be sharp and consistent), the Omega logo should be applied (raised metal, not printed) on modern models, the caseback should show the Co-Axial movement through the display caseback (most modern AT models), the date window should have clean printing, and the crown should have the Omega logo engraved. Always verify the reference number matches the listed model.
