Model: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra “Skyfall” 38.5mm Blue Teak Ref. 231.10.39.21.03.001 (Discontinued)
Overview: The Ref. 231.10.39.21.03.001 is one of the most recognizable Aqua Terra references of the modern era, better known among collectors as the “Skyfall.” Featuring the first-generation vertical blue Teak Concept dial, framed date window, and highly wearable 38.5mm case, this exact reference was worn by Daniel Craig as James Bond in Skyfall (2012).
History: The Aqua Terra was created as Omega’s versatile bridge between a sports watch and a dress watch, and this generation became particularly significant with the introduction of Omega’s in-house Co-Axial Caliber 8500.
The Ref. 231.10.39.21.03.001 gained its “Skyfall” nickname after appearing on Daniel Craig’s wrist in the 2012 James Bond film. Now discontinued, the original 38.5mm blue dial configuration has become increasingly sought after for its Bond connection, restrained proportions, and distinctive early vertical teak dial.

Closing Note: The “Skyfall” occupies a special place within the Aqua Terra lineage, combining one of the collection’s most celebrated dial designs with the restrained 38.5mm proportions of the earlier generation and the historically important Caliber 8500. Its appearance on Daniel Craig’s wrist in Skyfall only adds to the identity of a watch that already stands on its own as one of the most distinctive and collectible discontinued Aqua Terra references.
