In the versatile world of the Seamaster family, you'll find Aqua Terra sitting behind the Planet Ocean and Diver 300M series in the pecking order. But, in all honesty, Aqua Terra is a timepiece that brings the elegance of a dress watch and the practicality of a sport watch in one model. Hence, it deserves much more fanfare than what usually falls into its kitty, and references like this 231.10.44.52.04.001 make this emotion even stronger. This Aqua Terra GMT makes a very tasteful choice for a travel watch that just about anyone could get behind.

Measuring 44mm in diameter, the watch is housed in a steel case with polished chronograph pushers, a knurled crown, and a bi-directional rotating bezel. Under the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal sits the signature Teak Concept dial in white. It carries a beautiful contrast facilitated by grey-hued luminous hour indexes and hands, red-tipped hands indicating the different time zones, and a red-coloured GMT script for a meaningful design ethos. In a similar vein, the smooth sub-dials and date window are set against the textured background to drive home the same sense of contrast.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
