The Seamaster Aqua Terra is created using Gamma Titanium materials, which is aeronautical titanium that makes it more durable and has a lighter weight. The watch will have a $48,600 price point and will be available in 2020. The watch is powered by a titanium movement system, named the Calibre 8928, making it the first titanium movement system created by OMEGA. The movement system presents a dark gray color, which has a sharp contrast to the watch's bearing system. The new OMEGA watch also features a screw-down crown. The watch was developed with Rory McIlroy, who is a professional golfer.
