Omega - Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds - 231.53.49.10.04.001 - 18k White Gold - White Enamel Dial - Limited Edition
Watch Info
Manufacturer: Omega
Model: Seamaster Aqua Terra XXL Small Seconds — Limited Edition
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 231.53.49.10.04.001
Year: 2015
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Omega presentation box, 2015 warranty card, all original documentation, limited edition certificate, and all accompanying special packaging and accessories.
Notes: The 231.53.49.10.04.001 is among the most exceptional limited edition expressions in the modern Omega catalog — one of just 88 pieces produced worldwide, housed in a substantial 49.2mm 18k white gold case and featuring a hand-crafted white Grand Feu enamel dial with small seconds at 6 o'clock. Enamel dial production is one of the most demanding crafts in watchmaking — each dial is fired multiple times at temperatures exceeding 800°C, with any imperfection requiring the entire dial to be discarded and restarted. The result is a depth, luminosity, and surface quality that no printed or lacquered dial can replicate. Powered by the manually wound Calibre 2211 — visible through the exhibition caseback — this is a watch that exists at the intersection of haute horlogerie and precious metal craftsmanship. At 88 pieces, it is genuinely rare by any measure.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2015 example has been carefully preserved and presents in excellent cosmetic condition throughout. The white gold case retains strong original finishing and the enamel dial is in exceptional condition. Note: A light professional polish would return the case to a factory-fresh condition.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The white Grand Feu enamel dial is pristine — the fired enamel surface is intact with no chips, cracks, or crazing of any kind. The small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock is clean and perfectly aligned. The hands and indices are in perfect condition. The domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 49.2mm 18k white gold case retains strong factory lines. The polished surfaces show light, honest marks consistent with careful use over its ownership life. Note: A light professional polish would return these surfaces to factory condition without affecting the case profile or precious metal integrity.
Strap & Clasp: Fitted on its original black leather strap in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. The clasp is clean and functions perfectly.

Why the Aqua Terra XXL Enamel is One of Omega's Rarest Modern Pieces
Grand Feu enamel dials represent one of the oldest and most demanding crafts in the history of watchmaking — a tradition that predates the Swiss industry itself and that very few manufactures retain the in-house capability to execute at this level. The decision to apply this craft to the Aqua Terra platform in 18k white gold produced something genuinely extraordinary: a grand format sport watch with the soul and finishing philosophy of a grand complication pocket watch, limited to a production run of just 88 examples globally.
In the current 2026 market, Grand Feu enamel dial watches from major Swiss manufactures in precious metal cases represent one of the most compelling long-term value propositions in serious collecting. The combination of extreme production scarcity, precious metal construction, and the intrinsic irreproducibility of hand-fired enamel creates a piece whose value is anchored in something far more durable than market cycle or brand hype. This 2015 complete set example — including the original limited edition certificate and all special packaging — is as fully documented as this reference comes. At $12,800 for one of 88 examples worldwide in 18k white gold with a Grand Feu enamel dial, the value proposition speaks entirely for itself.
