OMEGA has unveiled a stunning new addition to its Seamaster Aqua Terra collection, inspired by none other than Armand “Mondo” Duplantis, the Swedish pole vaulter who has taken the world of athletics by storm. On April 20th, Duplantis set a new world record for the eighth time, achieving an incredible height of 6.24 meters. This remarkable feat serves as the perfect backdrop for OMEGA’s latest timepiece, celebrating Duplantis’s unparalleled achievements.
A Watch Inspired by Excellence
The new Seamaster Aqua Terra is a 41mm masterpiece crafted from stainless steel, featuring a striking design that pays homage to Duplantis’s Swedish heritage. The watch is adorned with the blue and yellow colours of the Swedish flag, evident in the blue rubber strap with yellow stitching and the polished central links that beautifully complement the case’s polished and brushed surfaces.
Unique Design Elements
OMEGA has introduced several exclusive details to this Aqua Terra model to honour Duplantis’s contributions to athletics. The dial boasts a traditional opaline finish with horizontal stripes, enhanced by yellow quarter-hour markers and the Seamaster name in yellow. The central second’s hand, also in yellow, is uniquely shaped to resemble a pole vault, complete with Super-LumiNova to represent the grip of the pole.
Precision Engineering
Recognizing the importance of precision in Duplantis’s sport, the Seamaster Aqua Terra is equipped with OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre. This movement guarantees exceptional accuracy, performance, and magnetic resistance, aligning with the high standards required by top athletes.
Celebrating a Champion
Since becoming an OMEGA ambassador in 2020, Armand Duplantis has secured multiple World and European Championships titles and won his first Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. His continuous breaking of world records highlights his dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence, making him an ideal representative for the brand.
OMEGA, as the Official Timekeeper of the Diamond League, was present to measure Duplantis’s latest record-breaking jump in Xiamen, China. This partnership underscores OMEGA’s commitment to precision and excellence, values that are embodied in the new Seamaster Aqua Terra.
The OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra retails at SGD$8,800.00 inclusive of tax.
