* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 40mm (2006)? A: It’s a Swiss‑made, stainless‑steel sports‑elegant wristwatch with a 40mm case, black dial with date at 3 o’clock, automatic Co‑Axial movement and a sapphire display back. The Aqua Terra is known for versatile style—smart enough for the office, robust enough for daily wear.
Q: Which movement does it use and what is the power reserve? A: Early‑mid 2000s Aqua Terra models typically house the Omega Co‑Axial Calibre 2500 with an approximate 48‑hour power reserve. Exact calibre can vary by reference; contact us if you’d like us to confirm the movement in this particular watch.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and suitable for swimming? A: The Aqua Terra line was originally rated to 150 metres with a screw‑in crown. However, water resistance on vintage/pre‑owned watches cannot be guaranteed without recent gasket replacement and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless the watch has been freshly serviced and tested; always ensure the crown is fully secured before any exposure to moisture.
Q: How do I wind and set the time/date safely? A: Unscrew the crown anti‑clockwise. Position 0: manual wind (about 20–40 turns if the watch has stopped). Position 1: quickset the date. Position 2: set the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown in and screw it down snugly to maintain protection.
Q: What kind of crystal and caseback does it have? A: The Aqua Terra is fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, typically with anti‑reflective treatment, and features a transparent sapphire caseback to view the movement.
Q: Will the 40mm case suit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: 40mm offers a balanced, contemporary presence for many small‑to‑medium and larger wrists. This bracelet fits up to approximately 20.5cm and can be sized; this listing includes 3 extra links. Share your wrist measurement and we’ll size it before dispatch or advise on additional links if needed.
Q: Is the Aqua Terra a dive watch like the Seamaster Diver 300M? A: No—while the Aqua Terra is robust and water‑resistant, it lacks a rotating timing bezel and is designed as a refined everyday watch. The Diver 300M adds dedicated diving features and higher water resistance; the Aqua Terra prioritises versatility and dressier styling.
Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect? A: A well‑maintained Co‑Axial movement should keep dependable time, though performance varies with age and service history. Many watchmakers recommend servicing every 5–10 years, or sooner if you notice running fast/slow, condensation, or reduced power reserve. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and have seals checked periodically.
Q: Can I wear it on a leather or rubber strap? A: Yes—the Aqua Terra looks excellent on leather or sporty rubber. Use a strap sized to the correct lug width and suitable end links. We’re happy to advise on compatible strap options and fitting for this specific model.
Q: What is included, and how do you guarantee authenticity and after‑sales support? A: This listing is delivered as a full set with box, booklets, certificate and 3 extra links (see Accessories). A Retro Tale professionally authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. All watches come with a 12‑month mechanical guarantee, free insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers.
