It’s currently listed at USD 53,400 at retail, which definitely puts it on the extremely high end of the spectrum, joining A. Lange & Söhne’s limited-edition Odysseus that comes with a day/date function at USD 56,500. But of course what the Aqua Terra UL provides, other than a construction so lightweight that it makes absolute sense for Bol to fly through her hurdles, is, possibly, the only watch to have a movement made completely out of ceramised titanium. In the same league, one would be reminded of the prowess of F.P.Journe’s Octa Sport that utilized aluminum in its entirety — case, dial, and movement — coming up to just 53g that includes its fitted rubber strap. Case in point, the Aqua Terra UL is a watch that performs as you need it to — keeping time without weighing you down, especially when you have speed records to break and medals up for grabs.
