It's a fantastic watch with a classic look and feel. Not as big as most of the seamaster line, it looks great against a good suit or tux. Even though it is smaller it has a more refined feel than a Tag, Edox, or Breitling.

Please note that this IS a Aqua Terra Seamaster. It IS a RailMaster. This is a remake of a very famous watch that Omega released in 1957 with an updated movement and some other minor changes. To the other people who commented that this is NOT a Aqua Terra, they need to go to the Omega website and get their informatio straight. One other thing is that this watch IS discontinued. You can find a few still around but unless you want the Large and XL sizes they are not making them anymore. Here's some information on this from a review on the Omega Website when the Railmaster was launched:
The contemporary Railmaster retains the exterior look of the original, with a matt black dial bearing four luminous Arabic numerals at the quarter hours together with luminous triangular hour markers and central Railmaster inscription. The facetted Dauphine-style hands (with arrowhead minute hand) also have luminous inserts, ensuring excellent legibility in all light conditions. A more up-to-date domed, anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal kept in place by the Aqua Terra's simple polished stainless steel bezel rounds off the pure lines of the watch. The interior of the new Railmaster is a different story, however. The original calibre 30SC T4 created in 1955 (a derivative of OMEGA's world-renowned 30mm calibre) is replaced by a new version of OMEGA's revolutionary Co-Axial Escapement movement. The latest incarnation of this movement, OMEGA calibre 2403, displays the hour, minute and central seconds on a sober yet tidy dial. The Co-Axial movement is self-winding and chronometer certified by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). It has a power reserve of 44 hours and an intricate finish of Geneva wave décor and circular graining with gold-plated engravings. The innovative technology of the OMEGA Co-Axial Escapement reduces friction in the watch's drive train and thus offers better long-term accuracy. The Railmaster models are available only with the new Co-Axial movement and hence only in the 41mm and 38mm case diameters. A choice of steel bracelet with safety clasp and brown or black leather straps with foldover clasp provides for a total of six models in this collection. Like all Aqua Terra models, they are fitted with a screw-in crown and case back that ensure water resistance to 150 metres, the latter fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that guarantees a view of the watch's unique movement that will always be perfect.

Visit the official Omega Watch web site and you will see that Omega Reference 2503.52.00 is a Railmaster Chronometer NOT an Aqua Terra! I cannot locate a link to report this mis-identification to Amazon anywhere. Maybe someone who reads this and knows how to notify them will do so.

Omega is a quality product and Amazon is a quality seller with awesome prices! You can't go wrong, just make sure you know what you are buying.

I will be ordering an Omega Aqua Terra soon as a gift and I plan to buy it right here on Amazon.

I was looking for a black face Omega Agua Terra and saw this watch at Amazon. Unfortunately model 2503.52 is a Omega Railmaster and while it is part of the Seamaster line it is not an Aqua Terra. There was nothing outside of the model number that stated it was a RailMaster. The watch came from Amazon and when I returned it I was shocked to find that Amazon Customer Service was going to hang on to my money for over 30 days - thus I was paying interest with the credit card company. Even more unfortunate is that this is company policy on any thing listed as "jewelry". I'm still waiting for Amazon to process my return.
Oh- if you look at the ad for this watch now it states it is a "Railmaster" on the site.
I still want the Aqua Terra, but would caution any buyer from purchasing any watch from Amazon as you will be waiting a long time if you need to return it!
