Encircled by a green ceramic bezel, OMEGA’s Worldtimer brings the Earth into focus. Each stainless steel model reveals a striking example of craftsmanship and materials - with global destinations written on the dial, and a laser-ablated vision of our planet. A Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre powers the core.
The watch made to track every time zone on the planet continues to gain momentum across the globe. In the last few years, OMEGA’s Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimes has grown steadily in popularity to become a go-to timepiece for international travellers and passionate collectors.
Now, OMEGA is expanding the Worldtimer collection to include three new models: a titanium edition with a dial made entirely by laser ablation – and two striking options in stainless steel.
In addition to scratch-resistant ceramic bezels, all three watches have something very special in common: the unique Worldtimer display. At the centre of the dial, OMEGA has produced a vision of Earth, viewed from above the North Pole, by laser-ablating continents and colours on a grade 5 titanium surface. Although impossible to see with the naked eye, this entire watch-scape is domed to mimic the curvature of the Earth. Circling the topographic map is a 24-hour indication under hesalite glass, divided into night and day sections.
OMEGA’s home city of BIENNE, Switzerland, is among the many global destinations circling around each dial and its outer ring. All place names, with the exception of the British capital are coloured yellow gold for the stainless-steel versions. LONDON is in red to highlight Greenwich Mean Time, now more formally known as Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).
For OMEGA President and CEO, Raynald Aeschlimann, the new watches are both innovative and inspiring. “At OMEGA, we take pride in our pioneering spirit and these watches are like a call to action. Go for it! Step out into the world! The dials are works of art, which prompt a sense of awe and adventure. What’s more, there is top-level technology working behind those amazing displays. They’re beautiful, fun to wear and operate and true collectables.”
What truly sets this watch apart, however, is the craftsmanship and attention to detail put into each stainless steel model. It is clear that OMEGA values only the highest-quality materials and takes great pride in creating a product that is both durable and stunning.
In short, the OMEGA Worldtimer is a testament to the beauty and complexity of our planet. Whether you are a frequent traveler or simply appreciate fine timepieces, this watch will surely impress with its stunning design and innovative technology.
