Tailored for business days and weekend city breaks, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph pairs sporty precision with polished style. Its 42 mm steel build and black dial complement a suit or jumper, while 150 metres of water resistance suits a seaside stroll or spontaneous dip. A 2006 automatic, it’s an effortless companion from boardroom to bar.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* 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 Chronograph 42mm (2006)? A: It’s a Swiss‑made, automatic stainless‑steel sports‑luxury chronograph with a 42mm case, a black dial featuring three sub‑dials, a stainless‑steel bracelet with a folding clasp, and an original water‑resistance rating of 150 metres. Versatile by design, it suits both everyday wear and smarter occasions.
Q: Which movement does it use and what is the power reserve? A: Many mid‑2000s Aqua Terra Chronograph models are powered by the Omega Co‑Axial Calibre 3313 (column‑wheel automatic chronograph) with an approximate power reserve of 52 hours. Exact calibre can vary by reference; we’re happy to confirm the movement in this specific watch on request.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph safely? A: Use the top pusher to start/stop the chronograph and the bottom pusher to reset—only reset after you’ve stopped it. Avoid pressing the pushers under water or when the crown is not secured. If resistance feels unusual, do not force the pushers and have the watch checked by a professional.
Q: How do I wind and set the time/date? A: If the watch has stopped, give it a manual wind (about 20–40 turns of the crown). Crown positions typically are: Position 0 for winding; Position 1 for quick‑setting the date (if applicable); Position 2 for setting the time. Do not change the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown fully in (and screw it down if applicable) to help maintain water resistance.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: The Aqua Terra range is rated to 150 metres when new. With vintage/pre‑owned watches, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent gasket replacement and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless it has been professionally re‑sealed and tested. Always keep the crown secured, and never operate chronograph pushers under water.
Q: What crystal and case materials does it have? A: Most Aqua Terra Chronographs from this era feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal and a stainless‑steel case and bracelet. If you’d like confirmation for this exact piece, please contact us and we’ll verify the specifications.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist, and can it be resized? A: This watch fits a wrist up to approximately 21cm (this listing includes three extra links). We can size the bracelet before dispatch, and further links may be sourced subject to availability. Share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise on sizing or strap options.
Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect? A: A well‑maintained Omega Co‑Axial automatic should keep good time, though performance varies with age and service history. Omega and independent specialists generally recommend a service every 5–10 years, or sooner if you notice running fast/slow, reduced power reserve, moisture, or compromised water resistance. Keep the watch away from strong magnets, chemicals and extreme heat.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This listing is delivered as a full set with original box and papers, plus three extra links. Please refer to the Accessories section for details and contact us if you’d like clarification on what’s included.
Q: Is it authentic, and what warranty/shipping do you offer? A: A Retro Tale professionally inspects and authenticates every watch and guarantees 100% originality. We include a 12‑month mechanical guarantee, free fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers. On request, we can share additional photos and help verify reference, movement and serial details for your peace of mind.
