Answer
A "super clone" Omega Aqua Terra 150M is a counterfeit watch built to match the outside of a genuine reference, with a Chinese-made movement inside that imitates the Omega caliber 8900 or 8500. Sellers use the term for replicas with a clone movement, a sapphire crystal, and a caseback that copies the original 8-arc design. It is not an Omega product. Omega does not sell parts to these builders. No replica carries a METAS Master Chronometer certificate.
Genuine reference numbers
The steel Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M, reference 220.10.41.21.01.001, is the model most replicas copy.
Where to Buy Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Replica Buying Guide
- Case: 41.0 mm steel, 13.2 mm thick, 20 mm lug width.
- Movement: Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 8900, 39 jewels, 60 hour power reserve.
- Magnetic resistance: 15,000 gauss.
- Water resistance: 150 m, 500 ft.
- Crystal: domed sapphire, anti-reflective treatment on both faces.
- Dial: teak pattern taken from yacht decking. Date at 6 o'clock.
- Certification: METAS Master Chronometer, 8 tests.
What replicas copy and what they miss
Good replicas copy the case profile, the teak dial lines, the arrow hands, and the 6 o'clock date. Most run a modified Chinese automatic with a decorated rotor. Bench timekeeping runs about -20 to +40 seconds a day. The certified 8900 runs -0/+5 seconds a day. Case diameters land near 41 mm, but crown guards, bezel bevels, and dial print change from batch to batch. Sapphire crystal is common. Real 15,000 gauss anti-magnetic performance is not documented on any replica. Water resistance claims of 150 m are not pressure tested.

US legal status
Trafficking in counterfeit goods is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. 2320. US Customs and Border Protection seizes counterfeit watches at ports of entry. A first offense carries up to 10 years and $2 million for an individual. A personal-use purchase still risks seizure and loss of the money paid.
Checks before you rely on a spec sheet
- Ask for a photo of the movement with the caseback removed.
- Ask for a timegrapher reading with rate, amplitude, and beat error.
- Confirm the return address and the payment method. Wire and crypto transfers do not reverse.
