Rolex and Omega are the two giants of the watch world as far as Swiss luxury everyday wearable watches go. That being said Rolex is the brand so many people are talking about while Omega, despite its size, tends to get pushed to the side and sometimes described as a watch you get if you can't buy a Rolex. Well I'm here to say that Omega, the Aqua Terra 231.10.39.21.03.002 more specifically, is better than the Rolex equivalent Explorer or Oyster Perpetual in every way…except one.
So in this video I’m going to get into the reasons why I think this The Aqua Terra ia superior to the Rolex offerings and that mainly comes down to the absolutely gorgeous dial, the spectacular Omega Calibre 8500 movement, and the case design. However, as nice as the bracelet is, it is simply no match for the Oyster bracelet found on Rolex watches. Let me know what you think about Omega and Rolex and which one you’d prefer!
