Re: Omega with a crystal caseback
In Response To: Omega with a crystal caseback ()

I don't know of any Speedmasters that do, but within the Seamaster line you have the Aqua Terra line. These models have a date and a sapphire caseback. They retail for $2795 on a bracelet, but you can get it well below $2500 with a discount from an authorized retailer. Your other choice is the Bond co-axial GMT model 2535.80.00, which has a date and retails for $3395. Again, you can get this model for well below $2500 with a discount.

Both the Aqua Terras and the Bond GMT model have the co-axial movement, which is Omega's finest. This is why these models tend to cost more, and also why Omega proudly displays them with sapphire casebacks.
