OMEGA, renowned for its association with high-performance sports, chose the perfect moment to debut the Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light.” This timepiece, with its 41mm sandblasted Gamma Titanium case and sandblasted silicon nitride bezel ring, represents a blend of cutting-edge technology and elegant design. The blue anodized dial, made from titanium, features blackened, lume-filled hands and hour markers, ensuring readability in any condition.
The watch’s yellow accents—on the Seamaster lettering, central second hand, OMEGA logo, crown, strap, and topstitching—add a vibrant touch. These bold details are inspired by the Swedish flag and the kit Duplantis wore during his record-breaking jump, creating a direct connection between the athlete and the timepiece.
The Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” is not just about aesthetics. Its manual-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8928 Ti, visible through the open caseback, offers a 72-hour power reserve. This ensures that the watch performs impeccably, whether it’s on the wrist of an Olympic champion or a connoisseur of fine watches. The special zipper presentation case, bearing Duplantis’s name, adds a personalized touch, making this timepiece a true collector’s item.
The timepiece is available for $51,300 USD. Interested buyers can inquire through OMEGA’s website and boutiques, where they can experience firsthand the craftsmanship and innovation that define this extraordinary watch.
