Overview
The Omega Aqua Terra Railmaster was produced in the mid 2000s and came in four different sizes: 36mm, 39mm, 41mm, and a whopping 49mm. At that time the large watch trend was reaching its peak, and so one might imagine that the 39mm, 41mm, and 49mm were initially the more popular buys. But, as history would have it, the trend back towards smaller watches in the 2010s has made the 36mm the most sought after size today by collectors. And, due to a short production run of the entire line, it has become a rather difficult watch to attain. Will it reach the pricing and collectibility of a certain other black-dialed sport watch from Rolex that it shares many characteristics with? Time will tell, but for now the 36mm Railmaster still remains a relative bargain for those who have enough patience, persistence, and luck to find one.
