Q: What is the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 41mm Co‑Axial Chronometer? A: It’s a Swiss‑made automatic luxury sports watch with a 41mm stainless steel case and bracelet and an elegant off‑white dial. The Aqua Terra sits within OMEGA’s Seamaster family, blending everyday versatility with refined, dress‑ready styling.
Q: What movement does it use, and what does “Co‑Axial Chronometer” mean? A: The watch is powered by an OMEGA automatic Co‑Axial chronometer movement. The Co‑Axial escapement reduces friction for improved long‑term accuracy and extended service intervals versus traditional lever escapements. Power reserve is typically around 55–60 hours, depending on the exact calibre fitted; we can confirm the specific calibre in this piece on request.
Q: Is it water‑resistant, and can I swim with it? A: Aqua Terra models are originally rated to 150 metres. However, water resistance on vintage watches is not guaranteed. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless the seals have been renewed and the watch has been recently pressure‑tested by an authorised watchmaker. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any contact with moisture.
Q: How do I set the time and date? A: Unscrew the crown anti‑clockwise. Position 1: manual wind (about 20–30 turns if the watch has stopped). Position 2: quickset the date (where applicable). Position 3: set the time. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown in and screw it down firmly.
Q: Will the 41mm size suit my wrist, and is it unisex? A: 41mm offers a modern, balanced presence that suits medium to larger wrists and can be worn unisex depending on style preferences. We can size the bracelet for you before shipping, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability and potential cost—share your wrist measurement for guidance.
Q: What is included (box/papers) and are accessories available? A: Please refer to the listing’s Accessories section for what is included. If not specified, assume the watch is sold as shown. We’re happy to clarify and advise on sourcing accessories (e.g., extra links or straps) subject to availability.
Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect? A: A well‑maintained Co‑Axial chronometer typically keeps time close to COSC standards (around −4/+6 seconds per day). Actual performance varies with age and service history. Routine servicing is generally recommended every 5–10 years, or sooner if there are timekeeping or water‑resistance concerns. Although many OMEGA movements have anti‑magnetic components, avoiding strong magnetic fields is still good practice.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal or anti‑magnetic features? A: Most Aqua Terra models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. Many later Co‑Axial movements include silicon components and enhanced anti‑magnetism, though specifics vary by reference and year; we can confirm details for this watch on request.
Q: Is the watch authentic, and do you offer a warranty? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and professionally inspects every item. This watch comes with our 12‑month mechanical guarantee. We’re happy to provide additional photos or information to support your peace of mind.
Q: How should I clean and care for the watch? A: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, use mild soapy water and a soft brush, keeping the crown fully screwed down and drying thoroughly afterwards. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives. Store the watch away from heat, humidity and strong magnets, and have gaskets checked periodically if water resistance is important.
