I was catching up on some KeepTheTime videos on Youtube, and came across their Basel 2011 videos. Although this one is mainly about the DeVille skeleton watches, the video opens with a shot of what is clearly an Aqua Terra with a small seconds subdial. It doesn't appear to have a date. This model is something I didn't see noted in any of the Basel coverage I've seen so far. Just thought Omega fans might be interested in what might be coming down the pike sooner or later. Personally, I still like the three-hand better.

Reminds me a bit of a Hamilton Jazzmaster Petite Seconde

You've gotten very curious about Omegas lately JacksonStone - your next one going to be an Omega?

That looks like the Aqua Terra model of the manual wind Railmaster. I saw it the other day on the Omega website. On the video, it looks to have the Teak dial.

You just got me to look at the Omega website again, and the model on the video looks very similar (if not identical) to the Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds, which would seem to be an update of the Railmaster XXL Chronometer that you mentioned. Slowly but surely the Railmaster line is being phased out, in favor of the AT. I thought the AT XXL was already out prior to Basel this year. But maybe I'm all wet, and this thread is much ado about nothing.

Maybe. I've been fond of Omegas for a while now. The AT line is growing on me. I'm waiting to see if the blue- and black-dial Aqua Terras shown at Basel ever show up for sale.
