Now Rolex Datejust and Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watches are chosen by numerous watch lovers for formal occasions. In my mind, they are also suitable for casual occasions too.
Development History
- Rolex Datejust
Datejust is one of the most symbolic collections of Rolex which was launched in 1945 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the watch brand. It is also the world’s first automatic watch with instant jump calendar. With the development, the iconic cyclops lens over the date window has been added to the automatic movement copy Rolex Datejust in 1950s.
In 1970s, Datejust has updated a lot, including the new case, dial and sapphire crystal.
While in the later decades, Datejust has changed too with the development of more advanced technology and material. However, it maintains the most classic design in appearance.
- Omega Aqua Terra
Comparing with Datejust, Aqua Terra is young. It was launched in 2002. The first Seamaster Aqua Terra adopted the Cal.2500, featuring the simple and fashionable appearance.
In 2008, the new Aqua Terra copy watches were inspired by the teak deck on the luxury yachts and the movement inside are upgraded to Cal.8500. Although these Swiss Omega imitation watches only have a few decades history, they have achieved great success.
