Purchased the AT 8900 41mm with blue rubber strap this week. My first Omega and first luxury watch
Congrats, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊 It can be a one and done watch-but where’s the fun in that!!!
Congrats Damien that is a beautiful first luxury watch. I love it on the rubber strap as well.
Congrats.
Awesome first choice!
Globemaster all day and twice on Sunday
Adore my blue-dialled Globemaster, and even though I have owned it for years I am still in the honeymoon period; one of the best choices I made! ⌚💙
I have the same watch. Great!
If years later you are still in the honeymoon period you are doing something right !!!!
How’s the accuracy on the watch?
rishabh I have had the blue dial for nearly 3 years. Mine actually gains about one minute per month.
Did you go steel or leather band?
Both are beautiful watches but i think the globemaster will age better with time
For me, the Globemaster is as close to understated perfection as you can get. But the AT sure is one hell of a nice watch too.
I love the white dial of the globemaster. There's something about it that is attractive.
This was exactly the comparison I was faced with! Eventually pulled the trigger on the Globemaster. It has been amazing and the precision engineering of the bracelet surpasses the aqua terra. One of my pain points on the aqua terra was lume; lack at the 6 o'clock marker and no lume along the minute hand...
Yeh the minute hand and no adjustment on the fly bracelet keeps me from buying the Aqua Terra!
Yes, the lume has stopped me getting one too. Although at least with no lume at 6, you can tell the time. Just sold a seiko alpinist because all the lume pips were identical. So in the dark in the middle of the night, you cannot orient the watch to accurately tell the time!
I like both of these and have owned a couple of Aqua Terras. To me, the only thing keeping these from going from "very good" to "great" is the lack of a quick adjust on the bracelet. At the end of the day that's why I sold both of my ATs. Add that and I'm back in for sure.
Totally agree-and why don’t they lume the minute hand better??
Yes bud I have a p o 42 mm 8500 movement had to buy a micro adjustment clasp £230 pound s f disgrace may go back to Rolex watches??
Both are gorgeous watches imo. I do own the 8900 blue aqua terra so I’m biased toward the AT. However, if I would have looked more into the globe master when making my decision, it might have been a bit more difficult. I prefer the aqua terra now tho for a couple reasons. There’s a color variant for everyone. And I may be way off w/ thinking this, but I kind of see the aqua terra as being a tad more sporty but capable of being worn in basically any other occasion. Whereas I see the globe master leaning a tad toward the dressy side with the ability to be worn on any other occasion. That’s just my interpretation on the 2.
I’m not formal at all so I like the AT better. Both gorgeous tho.
Y did they stop putting the day on them?
Both gorgeous, think the Globe master will age better being a more classic design.. Prefer the sm300 clasp with micro adjust than the butterfly on these. Both stunning. 👍🏻
The green on that dial is amazing! Love this color ❤️
I love the Aqua Terra. It’s perfect the way it is. The bezel being polished will have the same wear and tear like the Rolex Datejust II or Air King.
Nice comparison video, Bruce! Between two, I will go for AT. More sporty and casual, lower price. If I wanted to have a dress watch, I will go for JLC Master control, Reverso, or IWC Portugueser. I have both Omega and Rolex. I have similar DJ36 silver dial similar to the globemaster. I hold both watch in the same time but definitely win for DJ. Its white gold fluted bezel is fantastic, jubilee bracelet is very comfortable compared to oyster bracelets or Omega’s. It also has 70 hrs power reserve so when I take it off on Friday night after work and put it back on Monday morning, it still running with accuracy. 👍🏻
That Aqua Terra is just too polished although I prefer the design. I'd choose Globemaster.
This. I love everything about the AT except for the almost excess polishing.
Love the Globemaster can't afford them yet. Been eyeing them. Can't wait to get hold of them one fine day. Dreaming starts again..
I’ve bought the blue dial Globemaster with leather strap. Caliber (Metas certification), tungsten bezel, dial design, transparent case back....Amazing watch!
The blue Globemaster is at the top of my list.
I love Omega and Grand Seiko. Both have beautiful designs and movements that draw me to them. But they both have same shortcomings for me: sometimes too big or too thick, odd lug width, flawed bracelets, and too many variations of each model. With that said, they’re both still bang for buck which is another reason that draws me to them. I would love to be the CEO of these brands and just make those little tweaks to make them better. Well, for me at least.
Amen 🙏 bro!
Blue Globemaster on it's leather deployant is my choice.
Dominus I love bracelets and go third party leather straps.
The globemaster is more versatile and a perfect everyday piece. It is also a tougher watch judging from the brushed surfaces and tungsten element added. Also its dimensions seem more geared towards fitting the bill for every dress occasion
.I think i might just go for it as my first luxury piece.
Both of these are such beautiful watches 😊👍
I agree Jeffrey !
They are both nice but I have always had a thing for the Aqua Terra. Can't go wrong with either though.
I love the globemaster and I'm a fan of that fluted bezel. But man, I just wish they added a touch of extra contrast to break up all that white on the dial.
@@Ossory88 one with the calender?
The blue dial Globemaster is simply stunning. I have had it a couple of months and it’s much more striking than the white dial in my opinion.
Loved both watches Bruce ,,I’m an unashamed omega fan but lately I’ve been looking at Seiko a lot .everything they do looks great I’ve just bought a lovely champagne coloured presage with the date barrel and power reserve it gorgeous ,but wow both those omegas pop...I’ve got to admit I hate my watches scratching So titanium is the better case ,,.. love you’re vids Bruce ....
....
nice review and I wish dial colour would be the same to be able to compare accurately two models
Both good looking watches but the aqua terra dial is much sharper.
I agree
No debt. Better value aswell.
I think so too. Not sure if the blue globemaster might be a better comparison?
@@chulkcha There are pro's and con's to both. The GM has a better bezel (Tungsten carbide) and imho a better dial (incl: better lume), whilst the AT is sportier and has a screw down crown and more dial options to choose from. I already have a tool dive watch with rubber & steel straps to swap out, so I don't really need another one
GM for me, white dials looks very nice but better in blue. I only wish they did a silver dial GM, for me that would knock even the famous Rolex OP Datejust sideways out of the park!
I had to choose between the two as my first luxury watch for my 40th birthday but the cyan blue aqua terra with the blue seconds hand. I ended up getting the globe master blue dial with bracelet, which had a discount and was actually cheaper than the AT. I like the brushed bezel better and all in all a great watch. One note to be said though is that even though the globemaster is supposedly smaller at 39 vs the AT’s 41 the AT actually wears a tad smaller due to its pivoted endlinks. I totally agree with all the suggestions that were made to improve these watches from great to perfect.
Love the AT, I’m torn between the 38mm and Rolex OP 36
Great video as always. I voted with my wallet and bought both white and blue Globemasters but ATs were worthy rivals and the DJ41 in third place.
I think you kind of missed the point when you called these watches alternatives for a first luxury watch. While that's certainly true for the AT, the often overlooked Globemaster could serve much better as the exact opposite. It could be the illusive exit watch for many seasoned collectors.
Great macro footage. I'd get either, maybe the GM s slightly smarter, but conversely, the AT more polished... odd. Both great all-rounders. Really though, I'd like a blue, brushed AT in 39mm.
Was considering these two models but the globemaster bracelet has even less microadjustment as compared to the AT. The AT has two half links whereas the globemaster has none.
6min Understated watches are great Bruce and cost should never be a conversation at all but you are wearing the watch on your wrist because you like it and naturally if someone else likes what your wearing they’re going to comment on it whether it’s brushed or polished. In my opinion of course
Your GMT-Master is gorgeous. Looking especially good with long sleeve 👍
Hey Bruce. Do you ever go back and rewatch your old videos to see if your tastes/opinions have changed? Three years later, both these pieces hold up exceptionally well; hard to find better in the price range.
Bought my first omega AT on 1 Nov 2020 my eveyday watch same dial color love it.
Great video, thank you Bruce! I have tried both and although I like the under the radar style of Globemaster I have to say that the aqua terra looked much better on the wrist.
Thank you for the great comparison, Bruce. Aqua Terra would be my choice, but would have to sell my Datejust and don't like it THAT much. Globemaster just doesn't do it for me, but I see how people would like it.
AT for me 👍 significantly cheaper , same movement , dial that will age well , more wr with screw down . The only plus for me is the tungsten as I find the pie pan to be an anachronism
great points Marcus
Yeah I'd have to agree. Gotta say, I love the twisted lugs of the AT. Globemaster looks a little plain to me.
Very true. But the AT bezel will polish so the scratches can be removed.
For me it's the AT hands down - just the perfect wristwatch and the best "do it all watch" imo. Not a fan of the Globemaster bezel either tbh
Wrist check - I'm wearing the samurai. Man, for such a large and rather heavy watch this thing fits my 6.75 wrist like a glove. Lately, me and a buddy have been talking about - if you could only have one watch for the rest of your life what would you wear? We've both been leaning to the exp 1 for obvious reasons, but the more I see the globe master the more I think globemaster. It's a gorgeous well made timepiece which I could easily wear as an only watch, and I prefer push/pull to screwed crowns.
For comparison, my wrist is also 6.75, plenty of Globemaster pics on my IG @pilot.watch.doctor
Great video. I brushed my aqua terra bracelet myself. Used a scotchbright pad and some steel wool. Looks so much better than the high polish blingy finish. Easy too do
@@whereRbearsTeeth Ha, well I'm kinda particular in the way I do things being a welder/machinist so. It is very easy to get a nice finish though. You would be surprised
@@IDKline Naw, I'd just send the body. No bracelet
Great comparison. Love both of these. I prefer the Globemaster, but I like the size the Aqua Terra. I could get the annual calendar globemaster, but then, I think lose the bracelet. Maybe split the difference with a railmasrer? Choices.
Both great but the Globemaster the better of the two.
Thx, bought exactly the same green dial AT few days back!
I think the GM might technically be the better watch, with its impressively lumed dial and really cool tungsten bezel, not to mention being noticeably thinner despite using the same calibre 8900.
Unfortunately, I'm a massive sucker for the standard lyre lug Omega case profile, which is enough to make me prefer the AT (if they had the same case I'd probably prefer the GM). The cost savings are also appreciated, although not that important to me once you get to these prices (if you've already saved $5K, you can probably save another fairly easily).
Globemaster is on a bit higher of a level, in terms of dial look and band. the internals are the same though so you are paying 2k$ for looks and the better band.
I would love if they had an Aqua Terra with the RailMaster all brushed body. I just don’t like the dials on the RM. This GlobeMaster is beautiful!
I'd take the Aqua Terra. Stunning
Not a fan of the fluted bezel. Early Constellations had smooth bezels.
Very interesting comparison. Thank you for the video.
I think they're both fantastic.
I love them both I have 2 omega but I thinking Rolex day just beats them both for me ? And I omega man over Rolex no micro adjustment clasp omega needs to sort this
On one hand I wish the globemaster had more options of colors....but on the other hand if they did that it might become to "trendy"...I say let it make its moves from the shadows
Aqua terra is my everyday grail watch but the grey dial with blue index
That dial variant is amazing , I shot some video with one ill be reviewing on my channel and I have actually been thinking about picking one up for my self to add in my collection for my first watch over 1k. Great watch
Why are both watches so thick compared to many others with minimal complexity?
The Aqua Terra is nicer overall but I like the fluted bezel and thinner profile of the Globemaster.
Screw down crowns are a deal breaker. Though I don't think that's what Bruce meant, for me if the watch is so poorly made that it requires a screw down crown to be waterproof to 100m, I'm not interested... 30m watches give me the same vibe, there's just no excuse for that in 2023.
Omega should make a non-automatic version of this watch so that it would be slimmer, then I'd be sold. The hight is what lets the Globemaster down and it's the perfect watch for those of us who appreciate getting hands on with our watches. Of course Omega would have to develop a worthy mechanism to make the hand winding experience compete with the likes of GS...
The Globemaster would look a lot better with the bracelet from the AT. There's something about the wide centerlinks that throws off the look. The AT would look a lot better with a brushed bracelet.
You are absolutely right!
I think the Seiko SARX055 is a good alternative to the Globemaster.
Omega,s boxes are the best in the watch industry by far
For mass production- I completely agree
3:09 the dial line continues to 46 minutes is vanished at the end I’m very disappointed 😔
What are u talking about?
Great reveiw & key info. Pts. vs. Rolex,movement does itt, Globemaster for the look , bezel , all business look , brushing treatment for me. Thanx.P.S. Tx.
I feel that the Globemaster looks better with the annual calendar. In the form in this video, the Globmaster just looks like a different colored variant of the Seamaster.
Guys actually the aqua tera is great on bracelet for me the globemaster fits better with leather strap, i would take both.and jus to note Omega makes thr best watches for the price and ewen abowe, i know rolex fanboys what you wil say but hyped rolex could learn how to make details and design.
In fact the 2 watches are very different even if they have the same movement. The Constellation has a strong character, the AT is more shiny.
I got black dial AT because it was lot cheaper. Got it for 3400.
Starting to enjoy omega more everyday rolex be dammed
My view on this two is very different. Maybe not this dial variation but for me the Globemaster look like something special and the Aqua Terra look a little bit ... boring. I also much prefer a brushed finish in general.
Globemaster all the way ❤️
I think my first luxury watch isn't going to be a Swiss.
Globemaster FTW btw
German or Japanese?
@@BruceWilliams secret
Been told they scratch very easily A T?
I wouldn't say mine scratches any more easily than any other steel watch. That said, if you go with the Globemaster in steel you get a tungsten fluted bezel which would be way, way tougher than steel.
Do they have micro adjustment clasp ??
I would have to go with the AT. The GM looks like a ladies watch with that coined outer bezel.
I absolutely neeeeeeeeed both!
I like the annual calendar version of the globemaster better than this one. I think the aqua terra looks the best.
Big fan of your channel. But don't lie, you did a wrist check today because you're wearing a shirt with sleeves 😂
Don't worry I switched to a t-shirt after the video!
Everything you listed that you liked about the Globemaster is why I don't like it. That fluted bezel is something that is not my bag. I love the Aqua Terra as it is.
I think it is equally as beautiful as the GS Snowflake. Both have 1 thing (unique to each of them), I hate. On the Aqua Terra, it's the clasp on the bracelet. On the Snowflake, it's that hideous Spring Drive gauge that ruins the dial.
But these are my 2 grails.
Hi Bruce, would I be right in Saying the Omega globe master braclet tappers from 20mm- 18mm .
Yes
@@BruceWilliams Thanks mate. 👍
Omega and Grand Seiko are toe-to-toe. But Omega is better caseback finish.
Looks like youtube is really raking in the $$ for bruce. This channel started with seikos, now bruce graduated to rolexes.
How do omega go with holding their value
Most Omega owners buy and use forever, no point in resale.
The Aqua Terra would be my choice.
my choice as well, have always had a thing for the Aqua Terra
If the GM had a screw down crown the AT would be in serious trouble.
needs tapered links
Great video, Bruce!
I (27) have a question regarding two luxury watches for my first (and probably only) watch:
Keep in mind that I like both of them equally...
1. Omega Aqua Terra (Green dial/ 4.900€ new)
2. Grand Seiko Snowflake (4.800€ new)
Which one would you recommend? Or better said: Which one has more "bang for the buck"? I know that it is more of a personal preference, but at this point I probably need a nudge in a direction :) :)
Thank you and keep it up!
Greetings from Germany!
If it was my own money I would rather spend it on the Omega myself. But with these two there is no wrong answer and like you said it is personal preference
AT for me! Thx Bruce
How much is it to maintain an omega in this price range?
Omega charges $550 USD (plus taxes and shipping) for a service on the 8900 movement, every five to seven years.
For me Globemaster everyday....
I think the aqua terra is a bit more sexy, but I worry about it getting marked up....the globemaster is built like a truck
tungsten-carbide
AT 🙋🏻♂️
I find the AT kinda ugly. The Globemaster looks great.
I own the black dial Railmaster that’s basically a satin AT, with a different dial. Currently saving for the Globemaster. I think they’ll make an excellent 2 watch collection.
