Omega Aquarella Ref. 5773.71.56 BP

Sometimes a watch comes along that defies easy categorisation and the Aquarella is precisely that sort of piece. Part of Omega’s Museum Collection celebrating the 1938 Pilot’s Watch, this unusual creation takes the substantial 40mm case of a tool watch and transforms it into something altogether more glamorous.

The Aquarella was Omega’s answer to those who wanted serious horology with serious sparkle. This particular example features white diamonds set into the bezel whilst black diamonds accent the edge of the dial, creating a striking contrast against the lustrous mother of pearl centre. The off-white arms complement the overall palette perfectly.

The mother of pearl dial is the real showstopper here – each piece naturally unique with its own iridescent patterns that shift and shimmer depending on the light. Combined with that crisp white leather strap, it creates a watch that feels both substantial and refined.

Powered by the automatic Caliber 2200 movement, it’s a proper watch disguised as jewellery – or perhaps the other way around.

Omega was founded in La chaux-de-fonds by Louis Brandt in 1848, although the company would not be named Omega until 1903. It is one of the most successful Swiss watch houses, both in terms of sales and historical significance.

Louis Brandt was already rather innovative before his Omega days. He developed the very first minute-repeater wristwatch with Audemars Piguet in 1892. Although Brandt died in 1903, Omega would not lose its innovative nature. Among its biggest accomplishments are the manufacture of the first tourbillon wristwatch movement in 1947 and the first large-scale commercial implementation of George Daniels’ co-axial escapement in 1999.

The biggest highlight in Omega’s history is undoubtedly the moon landing in 1969. Both Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore Omega Speedmasters on the lunar surface. But there is so much more to this Swiss powerhouse. They launched the very first dive watch with the Omega Marine, all the way back in 1932. That is some twenty years before the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms and Rolex Submariner would redefine the category.

Omega has no shortage of hit collections. From the Speedmaster to the Seamaster and from the Constellation to the De Ville, with tons and tons of variations within all of those lines. You may opt for a yellow gold pie-pan Constellation or for a chunky Ploprof. There is something for everyone.

And that is before we go into Omega’s military history, including the Dirty dozen MOD-issued field watch. And we cannot forget James Bond, with his tricked out Seamasters since 1995’s Goldeneye.

No wonder then, that we love Omega so much!
