My watch for special occasions and a funny story behind it - Omega Aqua Terra 41mm

As the title tells, the Aqua Terra is the watch I wear on special occasions. The story behind this watch is a little bit freaky, some may find it funny ๐Ÿ˜….

As I told it in my Diver 300M post, the Diver 300M was the first Omega Iโ€˜ve bought together with my wife for my 30th birthday.

The Diver is the first Omega we bought but the Aqua Terra is the first Omega I wore that year. We bought the Diver in spring (my birthday is in autumn), therefore I had to wait half a year to unpack the Diver ๐Ÿ˜….

Meanwhile I was totally fixed by the watch topic and decided that I could not wait that six month. So I found my Aqua Terra on the used marked about 280 km away. Long story short: my wife and me jumped into the car, drove 5 hours in total and picked up my blue Aqua Terra, all more or less because I couldnโ€˜t wait for my birthday watch. Sometimes the addiction leads to things, no one would do ๐Ÿ˜….

Do you also have freaky stories about watches you wanted that much? ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Lovely moody photographs! The Aqua Terra is so versatile and classy. Along with your SMP, what a great combination. Great watches captured perfectly.

That's a very supportive and understanding wife you have there ๐Ÿคฃ don't let go of that one ๐Ÿ˜…

No way I would have waited for my birthday. I'd be wearing the watch the same day and have a Casio for my birthday. ๐Ÿ˜‰

ยท

Would have done the same...

It catches scratches quite easy with all the polished surfaces on the case and bracelet. I donโ€™t care that much about scratches but with all my divers and brushed case watches, I like wearing them more in the everyday life. For me every watch has its purpose but there are daily exceptions ๐Ÿ˜
