I would look at Beijing Olympics version of Aquaterra. Dial is astonishing.

Picture doesn't do the dial justice, it looks like ice surface covered with snow - partly glossy, partly matte. Really cool watch.
The blue dial AT looks very plain to me tbh.
And to choose between Seamaster and AT? AT is a little more under the radar watch. Seamaster, with it's sporty looks and HE valve is recognizable. I love both - Seamasters and ATs - so l won'd advise against any of these two. But l would look at a different dial AquaTerra for sure.
I just had a mature milestone birthday. I bought the white face SMP300 shown on bracelet. Love full divers with bezels. The white is awesome with black bezel. I also like the bracelet. Watch is very meaty on the bracelet. You can also buy the black omega rubber with deployment to lighten the load, if desired. The strap change even gives it a more sporty appearance. Love this watch. Highly recommend.
AT is definitely more a GADA watch, I've got the white dialed, blue and orange hands AT and absolutely love it! (Here pictured with his black brother):

I have the SMP300 and wear it on rubber strap and and also the AT41. I wish Iād gotten the AT in 38 instead. The 41 is nice but I wish it was a tad smaller. Iāve been spending too much time on Reddit I guess. Both are nice but I find myself wearing the SMP on oem strap more. Itās more sporty and I can wear it to work and dress it down more.
Agreed - a darker dial has always been easier on my eyes, as long as there is a great contrast with markers, hands, etc.
Maybe check out a 300M with a dark dial and light hands and markers?
Go in and try them on, the bracelet on the smp300 is a love or hate thing (I love mine, same as what you pictured above).
I also have the orange/white aqua terra on both metal, rubber and nato and itās pretty versatile from dress to āsportyā
Man tough choice! I think I like number 2 best? The blue seconds hand pops to me and is unique looking. I like a little touch of unique. Stands out in the crowd and gives it a bit of personality. I donāt think you can go wrong brother! Good luck with your purchase. You will love it no matter what you choose
It all means jack until you go to the store and try them on yourself. I originally wanted a blue SMP300 and didnāt like it anymore in person. In fact, it made me consider the white one when it was originally a complete turn off for me.

IMO if youāre the type to swap bands out then the Seamaster is a no brainer
White dial, just like the one in pic#1. Itās a beautiful watch that I truly can wear anywhere/everywhere
My thought process was that the AT and diver are both beautiful watches; but the diver is better for everyday use
I donāt like the bracelet on a sea master. I have mine on the rubber strap, but also like the nato or the strap on NTTD.
If you wanted a integrated sports watch, then I personally would go with watch 3
AT - Blue second hand
Is the blue second hand only on a 41?

Wow that is beautiful! Just over 5k too. I like the Olympic marker on the back too

Big difference in size! Black is bigger š¤£
The AT simply is a grower, not a shower š¤Ŗ

Few other omegas to consider: Globe master (blue or white) AT world timer
Came here to say Globemaster
But only one has a helium escape valve, so easy choice there. And I have that model. Heavier than I thought it would be.
I wear t-shirt and jean 98% of the time so I got the Seamaster.
Did you look at a speedy?
I did but it is a little out of my price range. Itās one of my goals at some point.

Thanks. I might do that.

I love my Aqua Terra! One of my favorite purchases.
My vote is for the SMP. Itās one of those watches that should end up in your life at some point, may as well make it now. Enjoy!
IMO 1-2-3 in that order, but i'm biased towards Seamaster 300's.
If you are a sporty type, SM. If you are a formal type, AT.
Try them on and youāll know which one is the right one. Youāll probably buy another before you know it so thereās no wrong choice.
SMP300 on rubber, NATO, or Milanese.
The White Dial Seamaster 300 is just š.

Thanks. I plan on visiting the nearest AD soon and trying at least the model on if they donāt have the color Iād like.
These are fantastic 1st world problems - good luck as you know you canāt go wrong with either
Thanks!

Man that is beautiful

Aw these were the watches I was deciding between for my milestone birthday. I chose the diver and love it!
What color dial?
White dial, just like the one in pic#1. Itās a beautiful watch that I truly can wear anywhere/everywhere My thought process was that the AT and diver are both beautiful watches; but the diver is better for everyday use
And I know they are all Seamasters. I was trying to keep my title shorter.
What else do you have for watches?
This would be my first luxury watches. I have two Citizens, one of which is a diver, one Tissot, a Seiko, and two Bulovas.
If you want a Speedmaster get a Speedmaster. Donāt compromise.
I donāt like the bracelet on a sea master. I have mine on the rubber strap, but also like the nato or the strap on NTTD. If you wanted a integrated sports watch, then I personally would go with watch 3
I thought about the black rubber strap for the SMP 300.
Beautiful
