Condition: Excellent Pre-Owned
Scope: Box, Papers, and Cards

🔎 Case Notes

This is not simply a blue-dial Aqua Terra.

Created to commemorate the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, this special-edition Seamaster Aqua Terra was produced in a strictly numbered series of just 2,018 pieces worldwide.

And this example is No. 66.

Omega integrated the Games directly into the design rather than merely adding commemorative engraving. The blue “teak concept” dial carries PYEONGCHANG 2018 around the minute track in the five colors of the Olympic rings, with the “20” and “18” aligning perfectly with their respective minute positions—an unusual visual coincidence Omega specifically highlighted when the watch was introduced.

Turn the watch over and the sapphire exhibition caseback carries the official Olympic Games PyeongChang 2018 emblem, while the individually numbered edition is engraved into the side of the case.

This example presents in excellent pre-owned condition, includes its box, papers, and cards, and is sized for approximately a 7½-inch wrist.

Despite commemorating the 2018 Games, its warranty card is dated 2025, meaning it remains under Omega’s five-year factory warranty, subject to the exact activation date shown on the card.

🌟 Collector Provenance

Omega has served as Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, giving its Olympic editions a genuine connection to the history they commemorate rather than a purely decorative one.

For PyeongChang 2018, Omega produced just 2,018 individually numbered Aqua Terras.

The details are unusually specific.

The event name is incorporated into the dial itself using the five Olympic colors. The official Games emblem appears through the sapphire caseback. The individual edition number is engraved into the case.

And here, that number is 66.

Low-number examples do not change the mechanical specification of a limited edition, of course, but among collectors they can provide an additional layer of desirability—particularly on a numbered commemorative watch where the individual production number is prominently part of the piece’s identity.

🌟 Olympic Provenance

The PyeongChang edition is particularly successful because Omega did not abandon the Aqua Terra design in order to create it.

The familiar vertically striped blue dial remains intact. The stainless-steel architecture remains elegant and versatile. The Olympic references are woven into the existing design rather than applied on top of it.

Even the “2018” inscription produced an unusual coincidence: the 20 and 18 fall directly over the corresponding minute markers.

It is subtle enough to wear as an Aqua Terra and specific enough to be immediately recognizable to someone who knows what it is.

🧾 From the Case File

There are limited editions, and there are watches with a genuine reason to have been limited.

This one commemorates a specific Olympic Games, comes from the Games’ official timekeeper, was produced in exactly 2,018 numbered examples, and carries its Olympic identity across the dial, case and exhibition back.

Then there is the unusual chronology of this particular example.

Although the model was created for PyeongChang 2018, its warranty card dates from 2025. That gives its next owner something rarely encountered with a discontinued Olympic limited edition: remaining Omega factory warranty.

Add excellent condition, BPC, generous bracelet sizing, and the remarkably low No. 66/2018, and this becomes much more than another discontinued Aqua Terra.

🗝️ BST Verdict

Special without being theatrical.

The PyeongChang 2018 Aqua Terra combines one of Omega’s most versatile designs with genuine Olympic provenance, only 2,018 individually numbered examples, and details that reward closer inspection.

No. 66, excellent condition, BPC, and remaining factory warranty make this an especially strong example of an already uncommon reference.

👉 Every case deserves a closer look.
