Black stallion works well to be honest!! I think that "Midnight Tide" might also be a viable option. Regarding the watch, I think it takes the whole line of ATs to next level and put them on par (for general market) if not way exceeding (to me) the explorers and the OPs.

I went to purchase the 40mm Explorer and left with the 41mm Aqua Terra. Why? The Aqua Terra has a better blend of tool/field and dress watch than the Explorer. The dial’s embassies ‘pop’ in the light with a dressier vibe. The subtle dial minute rail track, adds a touch of tool/field vibe. The deep black dial color with raised logo adds the last touch of differentiation from the Rolex. As far as the date goes, it’s perfectly color matched, and the trapezoid polished outline helps to integrate it to the dial embassies. This makes it feel like it is supposed to be there. It should respond well to strap options. Simply put, it’s a better GADA watch. You see this when you hold them side by side and on the wrist. The press photos and videos do not do the watch justice. It needs to been seen in the sunlight, on the wrist. The 8900 is a great movement with the jump hour and METAS. PERFECT watch, far from it. The case back should be solid taking away a few mm of height. The bracelet is great, the clasp not so much. It should be a sports with more adjustment. The micro adjustment on the clasp has 1 position. Really a 1/2 link adjustment. A token feature at best. I guess better than none. If you hate a date window, well nothing will fix that. The polished surfaces will ultimately scratch. Long term, there will be polishing, to keep its appearance. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Rolex, and all the games, currently associated, with the brand, then this is a viable alternative. I left one Rolex available in the world for you to find.

I don't think the 8900 is a step up from 8800, they are just different movements. The 8900 with the hour jumping hand is polarizing - acclaimed by the frequent travellers and hated by the watch rotation people - due to the slow date change. The 8800 being a later design (8900 is actually METAS 8500) is a movement without (yet) known flaws. I personally find the 8800 more appealing - both functionally and visually. So to me the 38mm AT is the model of choise, without regretting the movement. As for the 34mm with the rounded indices and the date window - this follows the design language of the ladies collection of AT already known in the 38mm format. Obviously the round forms are more appealing to women, and combined with the smaller size I think this is what the target group of this model is.

They're beautifully executed. I just can't see myself pairing a black dial watch with my outfits; I would love to see color variations of this lacquered dial. At this point, I think I would still get a Shades instead. And the micro-adjustment is too narrow for me: I normally use up to 5 settings of the 6 available in the Seamaster 300 M on a hot day. I guess that can work out since I see the aquaterra as a complementary, dressier watch for fancy evenings only.
