Omega has been making precision timepieces since 1848 when the company was founded. They have had the privilege of making watches for the British Royal Flying Corps as well as being the official timing brand for the Olympic Games. The first Seamaster was introduced in 1948 and since then has been one of the most popular lines in the Omega catalog. The first prototypes were built in 1932 as dive watches for famous diver, Yves Le Prieur. The Aqua Terra was introduced in 2002 as a watch you could wear under the ocean or with a suit to the office. Sean’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M is a the Golf Edition that was released in 2017 with the green accents.
Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M is a 41mm watch with a case made from solid stainless steel. The right side of the case features the screw-down crown but no crown guards, interesting for a dive watch. The stainless steel caseback threads into the case and does feature a large sapphire crystal viewing window to view the mechanical movement inside. The bezel on the case is made from solid stainless steel and is polished to a mirror-like finish. The dial on Sean’s Seamaster is finished in black and features horizontal lines that are meant to mimic teak planks on ships. Around the dial are triangular hour markers, filled with luminescent material, that glow for easy reading in low light. The date window sits at the 6 o’clock position and the dial features green markings and second hand, showing off the golf influence.
Inside the Seamseter is a Caliber 8900 self-winding, automatic movement designed by Omega. The 8900 is the first Omega movement to be METAS certified as a Master Chronometer. METAS is the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology and have more stringent certification methods than the traditional, and more famous, COSC chronometer certification. Omega’s Co-Axial escapement was engineered to better handle the energy transfer and make the movement more precise. Omega designed the 8900 to withstand magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gaus due to parts like the silicon balance spring. The twin barrels are mounted in series and offer the wearer about 60 hours of power reserve. The winding rotor, along with other parts of the movement, is finished with Geneva waves for a more luxurious look.
There are many options for straps and bracelets with the Aqua Terra series of Seamasters and the Golf Edition comes with a black and green Nato strap. The Nato strap is made from nylon and comes together with a stainless steel pin buckle. There is also a Golf Edition done in blue and orange if that is more your style. This Gold Edition Seamaster retails for $5,400 but the price is a little softer on the secondary market. You can pick one up from a grey market dealer for around $4,000 currently.

Tour Photo Galleries
Photos from the 2024 PGA Championship
GolfWRX is on site this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship.
While we see fewer equipment changes and new gear seeding at major championships, we get a look at custom gear and looks into the bags of players we rarely see, which is just as exciting. In the case of the PGA Championship, this means a look at the gear some of the PGA Professionals who qualified for the tournament will be gaming, and LIV players, such as Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.
Check out links to all our albums from Valhalla below and check back throughout the week as we continue to update.
