A Tribute to Excellence: The Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” Honoring Armand “Mondo” Duplantis
The Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” stands as a distinguished tribute to Swedish pole vault legend Armand “Mondo” Duplantis. This remarkable timepiece was on Mondo’s wrist when he clinched gold and set a new World Record at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, clearing an impressive 6.25 meters. For Duplantis, the watch was the ideal companion in competition—light, strong, and embodying the colors of his home country.
Innovative Craftsmanship
Crafted from sand-blasted Gamma Titanium, the 41 mm case of the Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” is both durable and lightweight. The sand-blasted silicon nitride bezel ring complements the robust design, enhancing the watch’s resilience and aesthetic appeal.
The blue anodized dial showcases OMEGA’s use of sand-blasted Grade 5 titanium, featuring an engraved horizontal stripe pattern that adds depth and texture. The blackened indexes and hour-minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility in low light. A unique yellow varnished 3D laser-shaped cylindrical central seconds hand, inspired by a pole vault, adds a distinctive touch to the design.
Striking Design Elements
The watch is presented on a blue and yellow integrated strap made from a combination of rubber and nylon fabric, reflecting the Swedish national colors. This design choice not only pays homage to Duplantis’ heritage but also provides comfort and durability.
Precision and Performance
Beneath the sapphire crystal caseback lies the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8928 Ti. This movement guarantees the industry’s highest standards of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance. Such features ensure that the watch performs reliably under various conditions, aligning with the high demands of athletic excellence.
Presentation and Packaging
The Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” comes in a special presentation box, emphasizing its exclusivity and the meticulous attention to detail that OMEGA is known for.
In summary, the Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light” is a celebration of Mondo Duplantis’ remarkable achievements and a testament to OMEGA’s commitment to innovation and quality. Whether on the field or off, this watch represents the pinnacle of both athletic and horological excellence.
