With quiet confidence and characteristically meticulous design, Omega has introduced a new chapter in its storied legacy of women’s watchmaking. The international launch of the Aqua Terra 30 mm, unveiled at an exclusive event in Kyoto Japan, signals a thoughtful evolution — one that acknowledges the changing rhythms of modern life while remaining rooted in the brand’s revered technical heritage.
Held at Kyoto’s striking Shogunzuka Seiryuden, the event unfolded as an elegant evening of sensory discovery. Guests moved through voile-draped installations blending traditional Japanese artistry with modern design, gradually revealing the watch’s distinct expressions. With campaign ambassadors including Ashley Graham, Tems, and Ariana DeBose in attendance, the night celebrated both Omega’s technical innovation and the undeniable allure of the Aqua Terra 30 mm.
The twelve references that define the collection are each rendered in vibrant hues and elevated materials — think 18K Moonshine™ Gold and Sedna™ Gold, stainless steel, and seamless two-tone combinations. The case size, a first for the Aqua Terra line, offers a refined 30 mm silhouette, striking a balance between contemporary wearability and timeless elegance.
Inside, however, lies the true revelation. Omega’s newly engineered calibres — the Master Chronometer Calibre 8750 and 8751 — are bespoke to this smaller scale. They exemplify the Maison’s commitment to mechanical mastery, with magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss, a co-axial escapement, and a 48-hour power reserve. As President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann notes, “The most beautiful part of the watch is the one you cannot immediately see. Our new calibres represent Omega’s highest expression of precision engineering, hidden within yet defining the watch’s essence.” Here, what’s hidden defines everything.
This sense of personal discovery is echoed in the accompanying campaign, ‘My Little Secret‘, which casts the Aqua Terra as both an intimate treasure and a conversation starter. Through rhythmic, cinematic vignettes, the watch is passed between six global women of influence — including
Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tems,
model, entrepreneur, and advocate Ashley Graham, K-pop artist Danielle Marsh, BAFTA-winning actress Marisa Abela, and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban — each styling it in their own intuitive way. The message? Some things are simply too beautiful to keep to yourself.
At once deeply personal and universally elegant, the Aqua Terra 30 mm is Omega at its most discreetly daring — a technical triumph wrapped in quiet luxury.
