So after about two years of researching a ton of different watches, I kept coming back to the Aqua Terra as the one watch for me. It’s so subtle, yet elegant. I love the dial and the case, and the way that the lugs hug your wrist. The dial practically changes colors based on the light.

I just got one last week) $3200 \- Omega Aqua Terra 150m $4250

It’s a great GADA watch in that price range and you will have money left over to buy a couple of straps as well to dress up or down. If you are considering buying pre-owned, you should also consider an Omega Aqua Terra. Nothing wrong with buying used as long as you buy from a reputable source.

I jumped at the opportunity even though I didn't necessarily have this on my radar at the time. I agree with the sentiment that goes around saying that this is a near perfect watch.

The looks, the case size, the specs (150m water resistance, co-axial escapement with 60 hour power reserve, and anti-magnetic >15,000 gauss), it was just perfect for me, but I could never justify the price-tag. For a long time I went back and forth between lower priced alternatives such as the SARB033 and the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80- I even considered purchasing a fake AT (very glad I didn't), but I figured the wait would be well worth it and put the money I had allocated for one of those pieces toward the Aqua Terra. I finally hit what I needed for this piece around Christmas, and found this beautiful example (and the exact one I wanted) on Watchuseek on Christmas day. I have always been drawn to Swatch Group watches, my grandfather was from Basel, Switzerland and always wore a 50's/60's all-gold Eterna Matic 3000 (Eterna created ETA in 1932), which I hope to inherit, and my first mechanical watch was a white Tissot Visodate Heritage.

So it was tough to find a great chronograph in a small package (I prefer modern-manufactured watches, not vintage). Well this checks all the boxes and looks fantastic on any NATO and sporty racing straps.

The watch is 40mm with 20mm lugs and fit my 17cm wrist perfectly. The Bracelet has a butterfly-clasp and is amazing to wear.For €550, the value within this watch is second-to-none in my opinion.
