: Hello
: I've today taken delivery of a brand spanking new Seamaster Aqua
: Terra Co-axial Chronometer.
: It came to me from Omega who are replacing the identical watch I
: had returned to them following ongoing problems.
: I had a Seamaster 120 for 6 years and wore it for everything:
: cycling, mountain biking, swimming, running. I rarely took it
: off and when I did, it was unceremoniously chucked out of bed
: onto the carpet.
: I never had any trouble with it.
: It was stolen and replaced with the newer model, the Aqua Terra,
: which is beautiful.
: The new watch suffered three bouts of not holding charge and one of
: the second hand continuing to sweep when the crown had been
: pulled out two stops. Each time it went back to Omega to be
: repaired.
: Omega have been excellent in dealing with this, providing first a
: new movement and now a new watch. Wonderful service.
: Would anybody be able to tell me how robust I can expect my watch
: to be? I've read all I can find on this very helpful site. I see
: that the Aqua Terra is a dress watch. To me it was a sports
: watch without a diving bezel (I don't dive).
: Surely the divers version of the seamaster coaxial has the same
: movement. Are there shock-absorbing technologies in the diving
: watch that aren't in the dress watch?
: Is James Bond very careful not to bump his watch or rattle it, as
: with mountain biking?
: I'd love for someone to help, I can't find answers anywhere else.
: I'm just starting out on a new, hopefully trouble-free life with
: my Seamaster and don't want to damage it with inappropriate
: sports.
: Many thanks in anticipation.
: Martin
