Omega has been introducing iconic watches to the market, from the Seamaster Diver 300M to the Speedmaster Pilot — Christmas came early this year with these new watches.

The brand also added another timepiece with a stylish dial to the Seamaster Aqua collection, popularly known as the Gradient Turquoise edition. For starters, timepieces in the Aqua collection have always been quite stylish, thanks to the sporty allure.

While this new timepiece has the same design as other models in the Aqua Terra collection, the dial is quite different.

Featuring a lacquered dial, the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is characterized by a blue-like hue with some dark shades. It also comes with other elements that have a dark shade, creating a beautiful contrast that accentuates other components.

While a large section of the dial has a turquoise-like color, smaller elements, such as the hour markers, are black.

The stylish Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M watch is offered in two different sizes — 41 mm and 38 mm.

In terms of performance, the 38 mm variant timepiece draws power from the automatic caliber 8800, which offers a 55-hour power reserve. The 41 mm option, on the other hand, has a more powerful mechanism that’s capable of delivering a 60-hour power reserve.

Both options have a clear sapphire case back that offers beautiful views of the mechanism. Such views are complemented by inscriptions, which give more insight into the type of caliber that’s fitted inside the watch.

Thanks to the adjustable bracelet, anyone who rocks this timepiece can easily adjust the strap based on their wrist size.

H. Moser & Cie. unleashes pioneer spiced aqua collection in turquoise and orange
Color revolution: H. Moser's pioneer spiced aqua collection breaks haute horlogerie conventions
H Moser Pioneer Aqua Collection

H. Moser & Cie. defies traditional haute horlogerie discretion with the Pioneer Spiced Aqua Collection, featuring three steel timepieces in audacious turquoise and orange colorway. Priced from $16,900 to $93,500, these models reject tribute themes and partnerships, existing as pure wearable art designed to electrify wrists through chromatic energy.
"In a place where quiet behavior often appears as a good trait, H. Moser & Cie. picks the boldness of color instead." The collection channels tropical waters and glowing sunsets through high-contrast pairing that breaks through rather than blends in, celebrating expressive horology over muted conventions.
The entry-level Pioneer Centre Seconds Spiced Aqua ($16,900) showcases minimalist design with maximum impact through turquoise fumé dial and orange Super-LumiNova leaf-shaped hands. The HMC 201 automatic caliber delivers three-day power reserve within 42.8mm steel case, available with white rubber strap or black DLC treatment with orange strap alternative.
The Pioneer Tourbillon Spiced Aqua ($59,500) inverts the color scheme with radiant orange fumé dial and turquoise details, featuring luminescent flange that glows like neon at dusk. The HMC 805 automatic manufacture caliber incorporates double hairspring and one-minute flying tourbillon, representing exceptional engineering in constant levitation state.
The flagship Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Spiced Aqua ($93,500) achieves sculptural presence through fully skeletonized HMC 811 caliber with domed orange sub-dial floating above the mechanism. Turquoise Globolight inserts illuminate indices and hands while the cylindrical hairspring tourbillon creates hypnotizing mechanical theater visible through transparent architecture.
All models feature 12 ATM water resistance, demonstrating versatility for land and underwater adventures. The steel cases incorporate slightly domed sapphire crystals, screw-in crowns with engraved "M," and see-through case backs revealing manufacture movement finishing including anthracite PVD treatments and Moser double stripes.
Design philosophy emphasizes bold color applications through concept versions eliminating logos and indices on certain models, allowing pure chromatic expression. The contrasting luminescent materials—orange on turquoise or turquoise on orange—create vibrant pairings that challenge conventional luxury watch aesthetics.
Each timepiece represents different technical temperament unified by singular chromatic energy, proving H. Moser & Cie's commitment to leading trends rather than following them. The collection transforms haute horlogerie into fearless, technical, and unmistakably alive expression that makes heads turn faster than tourbillon rotations.
Available with interchangeable rubber straps or steel bracelets, the Spiced Aqua models adapt to daily mood variations while maintaining their audacious character across all wearing scenarios.

Chopard honors Sir Stirling Moss with Mille Miglia limited edition
Racing heritage: Chopard's stirling moss tribute and gts upgrade showcase lucent steel excellence
Chopard Mille Miglia press shot

Chopard honors racing driver Sir Stirling Moss with a Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph. At the same time, the brand updates its popular GTS Power Control with a new in-house movement. Both watches, released in 2025, use Chopard's Lucent Steel alloy, which is known for having the whitest, brightest steel finish in fine watchmaking.
The Stirling Moss tribute watch recognizes the Mercedes-Benz driver whose 722 300 SLR made racing history. The 40.5mm chronograph features a brass dial with a silver opaline finish, recalling the matte silver of Moss's "Silver Arrows" era Mercedes-Benz. Only 70 pieces exist, each individually numbered and priced at $10,800. The watch comes with a period-appropriate racing strap, featuring large punched holes and matching stitching.
Despite the high price, Chopard equips the chronograph with an ETA 2892 base movement rather than one of its own calibers. The movement is 3.75mm thick, runs at 4Hz, and offers a 54-hour power reserve. It is also COSC certified. Some collectors might expect an in-house movement at this price, but the 2892 is known for its reliable engineering, and many enthusiasts prefer it over alternatives like the 7750.
The Mille Miglia GTS Power Control 2025 Race Edition is even more appealing, as it finally receives Chopard's in-house 01.02-M movement. This caliber, measuring 28.8mm wide and 4.95mm thick, features cutouts reminiscent of cooling vents and uses color schemes inspired by car engines. It provides a 60-hour power reserve via a rotor with multiple openings.
A technical review notes, "This movement provides a big upgrade for the MM GTS, and it offers much movement for the price." The 43mm case houses a galvanized salmon dial with a circular satin finish. Grade X1 Super-LumiNova, with a black tint, creates a distinctive look against the salmon background during the day.
The GTS is priced at $7,630, with only 250 pieces available. It offers strong value, considering the in-house movement and Lucent Steel construction. The power reserve display, located between 8 and 10 o'clock, is styled like a car fuel gauge, reinforcing its appeal to car enthusiasts through practical design elements.
Both watches demonstrate Chopard's dedication to automotive history. They show how different approaches—tribute chronographs and technical upgrades—can appeal to various collector tastes. The Lucent Steel construction ensures both models display Chopard's renowned bright finish, which must be seen in person to fully appreciate.
The contrast in pricing and features makes the GTS Power Control especially attractive for enthusiasts seeking the quality of an in-house movement at a more accessible price.
