A go anywhere, do anything watch is a tad nebulous of a concept, as no watch is perfect for every occasion. Rather a so-called ‘GADA’ watch is a one that’s flexible: a watch that looks just as good on a leather strap as it does on a bracelet, and can go from the boardroom to the beach and most places in between. And I think the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra might just be the platonic ideal of such a watch.
Despite being rather new to watch collecting, I recently got a rush of blood to the head when looking for a watch to wear at weddings and decided to get my first ‘luxury’ watch. Not long after I found myself in an authorised Omega dealer with my heart set on a 38mm Aqua Terra in blue -- no easy choice as there’s also a 41mm model and a dizzying amount of colour, material and finishing options.
