π Case Notes
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ref. 231.10.42.21.03.003 has earned the nickname "Spectre" Blue among collectors thanks to its striking blue dial and hand set that closely resemble the limited-edition Aqua Terra worn in the James Bond film Spectre. While not a limited edition itself, this reference captures much of the same aesthetic while remaining one of the most versatile Aqua Terra models ever produced.
Its rich blue teak-pattern dial, faceted hour markers, broad arrow hands, and symmetrical case design create a watch equally suited for business attire, casual wear, or weekend adventures. Beneath the dial is Omega's celebrated Co-Axial Calibre 8500, a movement that helped establish Omega as one of the leaders in modern mechanical watchmaking.
This 2020 example is presented in excellent pre-owned condition and includes its box, papers, and cards. The stainless steel bracelet is currently sized to fit approximately a 7.5-inch wrist.
