The event, which took place in the luxurious surroundings of the Palazzo Pisani Moretta, began with a chance for guests to acquaint themselves with the new Aqua Terra models, which were presented across five beautifully-decorated rooms, to allow clear views and free movement.

Despite the lush surroundings and black tie dress code, the Venice celebration was intimate and casual, with a relaxed sit-down dinner, prepared by legendary Italian chef Carlo Cracco, and speeches delivered at tables by Eddie Redmayne and President and CEO of OMEGA Mr. Raynald Aeschlimann.

As the Seamaster's iconic logo was inspired by the seahorse emblems on the side of Venice gondolas, the floating city was OMEGA's first choice of location for its special tribute to Aqua Terra.

Amongst the many guests at the event were U.K models David Gandy and Oliver Cheshire, who was accompanied by his fiancée U.K singer Pixie Lott; Indonesian actor Nicholas Saputra, Japanese actor Ryohei Otani; and from the Philippines actress Lovi Poe. Also in attendance were Hong Kong actress Fala Chen and Italian celebrity guests included singer Emma Marrone; actress Miriam Leone and actors Alessandro Preziosi and Adriano Giannini.
