The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is hands down one of my favorite watches!
And how can I not be absolutely in love with this masterpiece? James Bond himself wore this watch!
Yep! That’s right…Daniel Craig wore this beauty in Skyfall!
If you want to feel much more confident at the office or even on a sexy date…or on a secret spy mission, the Omega Seammaster Aqua Terra is a watch you MUST have!
….I mean…if there wasn’t a $4,000+ price tag on this baby!
That’s why I created this list of MUCH cheaper Seamaster Aqua Terra alternatives. Here are the 7 best Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra homage watches!
Under $150
Here are the best Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra alternatives under $150…
1. Orient ‘Bambino Version IV’ Dress Watch

This is a really great watch, especially for the price point. The date feature on the Orient is the exact same position as the more expensive omega (3 o’clock).
Also, the ticks for the hours and minutes is nearly the same as the Aqua Terra. The only difference is the color of the blue dial.
The Orient is a darker blue and almost borders on purple. Other than that, this is a really great equivalent to the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra for a fraction of the cost!
Pros:
*Available with a classy leather strap – which means you can wear it to formal functions.
*This is an automatic watch, which can be hard to find at this price point.
Cons:
*Dial is a pretty dark blue.
*This is a larger watch (42 mm)
*Only 30 meters of water resistance.

2. Seiko Presage SARY055 Watch

Wow!
This Seiko watch is a thing of beauty…from the beautiful silver stainless bracelet to the breathtaking blue hands. The really cool thing about this watch is that it has a day and date function (which not even the Aqua Terra has).
This Seiko is a really great homage to the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra and should definitely be in your collection.
Pros:
*Really great effort in creating the basic elements of the Omega Aqua Terra.
*This is an automatic watch that has a day AND date function.
Cons:
*Time can be a little inaccurate.
*This is a larger watch (41 mm)
3. Seiko Shinobu Ishigaki SARB065

Out of all the Seiko watches on this list, I think the SARB065 is the closest thing to the Omega Aqua Terra.
Even the minute and hour markers look the same as the Omega! I just wish this watch was available with a blue dial. Other than that, this is pretty much the closest you’ll get to the Seamaster for a fraction of the cost!
Pros:
*Beautiful tick marks for the hour and minutes, which looks nearly like the Omega!
*Classy leather strap – which means you can wear this to formal events
*50 hour power reserve.
Cons:
*Only 50 meters of water resistance.
*This is a very light watch only 3 ounces.
*The crystal is not sapphire, but rather hardened glass (Hardlux).
4. Orient Star Mechanical Automatic Watch WZ0371EL
Click Here to get the Orient Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra homage!
The Orient WZ0371EL is a really great alternative to the Seamaster Aqua Terra. While the shade of the dial is a lot darker than the Omega, I rather like it.
Also, the classic “teeth marks” for the minute and hours are present in this watch. The only thing I don’t like about this watch is the manual wind feature.
Pros:
*The dial looks nearly the same as the Omega Aquamaster.
*Great size on the watch (38.5 mm) – which is the same as the Aqua Terra.
Cons:
*This is a manual wind automatic watch.
Under $1000

5. Orient Star Standard DV02001W
Click Here to get the Orient Star Standard Omega homage!
This thing is a beauty! I love the contrast between the gold and the white dial and the silver bracelet.
The Orient Star DV02001W is a great homage to the Omega Seamaster. It could definitely be mistaken for one!
Pros:
*Beautiful gold hands.
*Anti reflective sapphire.
*Looks very similar to the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra
Cons:
*This is a more expensive watch even for a homage/alternative.
*I wish the dial was just one color without the stripes.
6. Orient Star Standard WZ0291EL
Click Here to get the Orient Star Standard Seamaster Aqua Terra alternative!
The Orient Star QZ0291EL is really great homage to the Aqua Terra. My only wish is that the dial could be blue. However, that’s really just nitpicking.
This watch is incredibly classy especially if worn on a date. It has many of the same looks of the Aqua Terra for just a fraction of the cost!
Pros:
*The roman numerals are a nice touch.
*This is an automatic watch.
*This is a very classy watch and can be worn on dates or weddings and other formal events.
Cons:
*The date features is at 9 o’clock instead of 3 o’clock like with the Omega Aqua Terra.
*I’m not a big fan of the power reserve function on the dial.
