The golf dial Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ryder Cup

The first connection between the two is utterly clear: the teak dial has been replaced by the golf dial. I'm a huge fan of blued hands, and the Omega Aqua Terra Ryder Cup definitely delivers here. There are some gold accents as well, from the seconds hand to the Omega logo. More replica Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra.

Heat blued hands tend to look almost black in indirect light, but in situations like this one, where light is directly on the dial, they virtually glow blue. Notice there are also some small, fairly subtle, red accents as well. Along with the white dial, the blue, gold and red represent the Ryder Cup.

This 41.5mm version would fit me just fine. I think it's a great all around size and it was a smart choice for Omega. A nice bonus of Aqua Terras in general is that it's good for 150 meters of water resistance, about 50 more than other watches in this segment. Although it's not a dive watch, it is a Seamaster, and thus a good choice for swimmers.

It's powered by a Master Co-Axial version of the 8500. That means you get all of the anti-magnetic properties Omega can offer, which are not insubstantial, as well as chronometer certification. The only caveat is that this version hasn't been certified via METAS testing (and is thus not a "Master Chronometer"), but it's nonetheless a truly great movement.
