The Rolex Killer & Omega's Best Kept Secret - Constellation Globemaster Watch Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2019
- In today's luxury watch review, I finally get my greedy, horological, white-gloved mitts on a watch I have been dying to review since it came out in 2014. In this video I discuss the history of Omega's premier line of watches and take a closer look at the Constellation Globemaster (Ref. 130.33.39.21.03.001). I explain why their current watch is not only their most underrated, but perhaps the only truly superior watch in almost every way to the offerings of its main rival Rolex.
Join me as I investigate what makes this watch so exceptional. Are there are any negatives to be found this time, and is this possibly the ultimate Omega? Let’s find out!

This has to be one of the most beautiful watches you have ever shown on your channel - maybe the most beautiful of all. My grail.
I have the same wrist size as TGV, but I still want to buy the watch as it is simply amazing stacked up against the DJ36
Coolest thing about this watch. You can walk in an omega AD, try it on and buy it on the spot. No stupid “waitlists”
I'm losing my mind
The Globemaster is my favourite modern Omega
Thanks for reviewing it TGV
Just picked up one of these in the white dial version. Would never have even considered it if it hadn't been for your review. Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous. I love timepieces like this that look simply beautiful at a distance, and intricately beautiful upon closer inspection. The above-average water resistance for a dress watch just adds the cherry on top.
I agree 100%
First saw this watch in Lugano, Switerland after viewing literally thousands of other watches of all makes and models. This one stood out. I could not forget it and about nine months later purchased one in the US. Absolutely the most elegant timepiece I have ever seen for my taste. Formal, yet casual. It's an heirloom piece
It is nice to settle on something which pleases the cockles of your own heart. Well done. Me - I like the twisted lugs on other Omegas.
I recently purchased this watch and absolutely love it! It has quickly become my daily go to, replacing my GMT Master II.
WOW, that is a heavy hitter to replace, I don't blame you! You stylish devil!
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Incredible review as always, TGV!
I have a seamaster 300 but I’m also considering buying a globe master. Has your opinion remained the same since you posted?
@@stevenhughes6903 same here, I own the SMP300 and consider buying the Globemaster as well. Have you got yours already? If so, what do you think now?
Always preferred Omega over Rolex and hearing " Rolex Killer" just made my day.
In recent years there have been fewer reasons to buy a Rolex.
I own only one watch a ''Seamaster 600 manual winding dress watch (1965) wear it every day! Love my Omega.
I was always an Omega fan, I like their focus on accuracy!
@@zaco-km3su You can't even buy most Rolex models now unless you're a fat cat with a long buying history with an AD
I'll admit that I have never owned or even handled a Rolex or Omega watches but based of looks alone I prefer Omega watches.
I find that they are done more tastefully.
Great trippy opening. That faceted watch face is amazing to behold. Thanks for the Omega history lesson!
Omega’s used pie pan dials before
Really really digging the production quality here. The appealing intro, the smooth narration and the soothing piano background theme. Absolute PURE CLASS.
You just made my day, thank you Steven :D
Best regards,
TGV
Ill give him that! I just think this is a better piece than he is giving credit!
Love the video! The constellation is easily one of the best lines in vintage Omegas. The variety of the line over the years shows the depth of capabilities and creativity that Omega has. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome intro Sir, reminded me of some early 90s nights out in my youth! 😃 Stunning watch, very classy. Looks amazing on the leather strap. As always thank you for the informative and very entertaining review 👍
Thank you Chris, aaaah the 90s!!! You and me both brother ;-) chin chin!
Best regards,
TGV
i have stopped wearing my GMT master ii after i got this one. Absolutely love your reviews honest and true, your reviews are second to none. Thank you
I'm looking at buying a Globemaster or Aqua Terra when I hit my production goal. I've always been attracted to Omega rather than Rolex.
I love that. Setting a goal and then rewarding oneself, the wait also makes it that more enjoyable. Plus, once you get it, you know. what it took! Keep being awesome my friend. Onwards and upwards to your Omega!
Thank you Frederick,
Best regards,
TGV
The Aqua Terra is awesome!
Go with the Aqua Terra. It's a much more youthful design.
@@robertsullivan4773 What I like about the Aqua Terra is it has a screwdown crown.
Thank you TGV for a great review, as usual! Don't know why this beauty is so underrated. Just picked mine today on bracelet, with the stunning blue dial. It's a timeless masterpiece, for today, and decades to come. A Sportswatch on a bracelet, and a dress watch on a leather strap. What a stunning beauty!
No boast on this watch' accuracy, has one from the seventies. President Jimmy Carter wore one. What a terrific review crisp and informative !
Wow that looks good on you there Lad! Lovely and well done, Tristano. I have 2 vintage constellations. I coveted the pie pan 20 years ago as a “grail”. I’m happy to say I was able to procure and still own a 1960s model in stainless, champagne dial and beads of rice bracelet. It’s an elegant watch. at only 35mm it’s a bit lacking by current standards size-wise, but it makes no difference to me. I still love it. I barely know it’s on while wearing it. My other Constellation is a rose gold cap waffle dial from the 1950s. It’s a bit beat up but I adore it and will never part with it. I’m a bit dismayed at the price of this watch though. I agree that a vintage constellation is much more value for the money. I’m into the jumbo manual wind 38mm cal 265, etc these days. Well done! Cheers!
I have a gold 198.003 Constellation, inherited from my late dad. I'm considering purchasing a Globemaster in steel because of the Tungsten Carbide fluted bezel. Thanks for the review!
My most prized watch is my Omega Constellation cushion case from the late 1960's.It is a grand watch and the most accurate watch I own.When I went to Nashville to see the Eclipse my Constellation was on my wrist.
Excellent. I celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 wearing my 1969 Speedy all week long.
TGV the intro master!!!! This Omega is absolutely beautiful!! I am smitten. From the case finish to the lug design, and let’s not forget the bezel. I’ve always liked the constellation for its iconic pie pan dial with dauphine hands. I like Omega’s dress watches more than the sportier ones. I find them to be very elegant. It makes me even more excited to bring my vintage Omega in for service!
Definitely one of my favourite Omega timepieces. Thanks for the video TGV, keep up the good work!
Perfect fusion of the Datejust & the Tudor Style, with it's own unique, understated elegance & functionality thrown in. A real winner.
Loved your overview over the Constellation. I can't wait to see how you up-level these reviews at Watchbox. This watch is truly the very best that Omega has to offer and you captured that essence beautifully. Very well done!
Hi TGV!
I remember getting goosebumps when I saw the advertisement for this Constellation Globemaster Master Chronometer!
It’s certainly a more underrated Omega watches.
Best regards,
Claus
I completely agree Sir.
Great video TGV & as always, these type of in depth wonderful videos focussed on horology rather than trying to take shots at other RUclipsrs is what sets you and a few other watch RUclipsrs apart! Thanks for being you... Very classy, professional & informative. Kind Regards
Oh wow, a review of my current watch! There goes my secret power hitter, lol.
TGV, I really do love your intro's some of the best I have seen for a watch channel. There is nothing I like from Omega that is modern as the last year. Most are 42mm or larger. I like vintage omega when they were 40mm or smaller.
Looks nice and love the unusual movement but agree with you about the size. . . . . They could have at-least made the lugs contour the wrist a bit better. Shame!
Dear Mr. TGV: Besides the content of your videos i truly enjoy the refinement and attention to detail you put in them, just like the watches you review ;)
I have the opaline dial on bracelet. definitely my finest watch. Will say that the blue dial you showed accents the pie pan most of all.
A really nice watch that combines it`s rich heritage with a high developed movement. It was a really hard decision between this one and the Datejust for me. Loved your presentation of Omegas Constellation Line, TGV, like always :) Greetings, Sebastian.
These history overview videos are among the best on YT, TGV! Many thanks for all the time and work you put in to share the depth and rich info with the community. 😎👍
Being the lucky owner of a Globemaster, I obviously couldn't agree more. Maybe the most underrated modern Omega ... One more thing : you can't imagine how versatile this watch is. Just change the strap and hop ! you got a completly new watch : leather, milanese mesh, nato ... everything suits this beauty
Xavier Brun Very very jealous. How have you found owning it?
I received my first Constellation in 1960. It's still running well and is still beautiful
This should be the Grail Watch for timepiece lovers who actually have a high I.Q. but are humble about it. Pure understated class!!
I love Moyer Fine Jewelers . I live in the area, and these guys will just sit there and talk watches with you. They know I'm poor, but they still give me their full attention.
Anson now THATS TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
What a wonderful video, thoroughly informative and exquisitely edited. And beautiful Omega as well, this may be my new "grail" watch...
Spotted this by pure coincidence while purchasing another watch. Couldn’t get it out of my head and bought it one week later (something impossible with Rolex). Love it.
Beats hell out of any current Rolex.
This Constellation is very, very beautiful.
Great and wonderful review. Always stylish. I’ve seen Rolex killer mention about this watch in other reviews. Fell in love with it when it first came out. My grandfather on my dad side and both my parents wore and wear Constellations. Mom has hers on her wrist everyday.
Got to wear one of these last year while in Charlotte, NC at an Omega AD.
Great review. I've had the white dial on strap version since summer 2016. I wear it five days a week for work, with a suit, and it's very robust. I've inevitably bashed it a few times against door frames, escalators, and once dropped it on a marble floor, and it still looks great (you'll notice dents if you look very close). The tungsten carbide bezel is tough as nails. Gains no time at all when fully wound. Still within all the Master Chronometer specs. Was going to trade it in for a JLC ultra thin moonphase, but I consider the Globemaster a tool watch in terms of being a robust watch you can wear with a suit. I'll buy the JLC in a year or so once I've saved up, but I'll still rely on the Globemaster given it's harder than Arthur Shelby.
I just bought my first luxury watch since starting a collection a year ago. The watch is the Omega Aqua Terra with the 2500 movement, black dial (no teak planking design), 39mm. I have 6 1/4" wrist, just like TGV! It fits great. Unfortunately, my watch budget is spent into 2021!! Interestingly, after having this Omega, I don't actually feel the need to collect again for awhile. The $$ is well worth it!!
At times, I have an odd taste in watches. I really like the newer 38 mm steel on steel Constellations. They remind me of NYC in the '80s and early '90s.
Reference numbers?
@@John-zm4xl 123.10.38.21.01.001,
Very beautiful piece.To me won’t ever be rolex’s killer.
Watch collector or entusiast or whatever are too tyed to boring rolex and value retention,that’s sad.
Thanks for the amazing review.
Your statement is somewhat contradictory. How would an enthusiast be more tied to Rolex (and I assume you'd be referring to a DateJust) when this is a wholly superior watch?
To each their own.
There isn't enough text on that Bretling.
It looks like four watches were tossed in a blender then poured into a case.
Love your message! Totally agree! Surely they could fit something else on it!
Hahaha totally ridicolous !
Always enjoy the videos, keep up the amazing work and classy style
Fantastic video and review as always. This particular model has been my grail for quite some time now. I’ll keep saving, but I know it’s worth every penny I’ll pay.
I own this watch and I’m in love with it. I actually don’t think it’s too large for your wrist at all.
I completely agree. I have the watch too, and it’s perfect on my 6.2” wrist. Trick is to either wear it on the bracelet, or a non Omega strap, as the Omega strap follows the contours of the case and is hindered from being folded completely down, which ends up flaring our, making the watch feel larger on a small wrist. But I agree, the watch isn’t too big for a small wrist.
My favorite Omega model together with the Moonwatch, especially this lovely deep blue, stainless steel and tungsten carbide variation. It would look even better with traditional dauphine hands! The co-axial movement results in a chunky case for its size though.
I'm instantly in love with this watch. As of today, it's officially my favorite "dress" watch ever. But I can easily imagine having this as my daily wearer. My Speedmaster might have some competition on it's hands, haha!
Speedy is the perfect weekend watch for me with the lack of date and the manual wind movement - between the 2 you've got a cracking combo 😁
I have the blue dial Globemaster and the 3861 Speedmaster SS. I don’t think I could enjoy any watches more than I enjoy these two.
any one else feels like having a cup of tea after watching his videos?
Thanks for another very well produced video.
I got an Omega Aqua Terra and when it was shipped to me, somehow, the rotor bearing was broken. Sent it in for warranty, had to send it into Omega for repair because they wouldn't sell the watchmaker the part. Its going to be 3 months from when I paid to when I will get to wear my watch, but it will be a good memory of my first luxury watch.
I wonder why you didn’t just return it to the seller for a refund.
Any chance for a review of the Mido Baroncelli Heritage?
If you look at the lines connecting the hour markers on the Omega and then look at a map for the actual celestial arrangements in the night sky as well as the lines drawn between the stars, the name "Constellation" takes on a subtle but cool new meaning :)
Omega and my home town! I bought my fiancee's engagement ring at Moyers as well. Thanks for you wonderfully informative videos. Its helped jumpstart my curiosity into this fantastic hobby!
Earlier this month, I bought a SMP Planet Ocean 8900, 43.5mm. As I was leaving the AD with the new watch, my eye caught the Globemaster with a steel bracelet, blue dial like the one you reviewed. I swear I almost thought I had made a mistake. I have been lusting over the Planet Ocean since the 8900 movement came into being, almost 4 years. I just didn't know enough about the Globemaster to pull the trigger on it that day, wish I had seen your video earlier. That Globemaster is definitely on my "must have" list some day. It is gorgeous in person, absolutely kills any Datejust or Day-Date.
Incredible piece indeed. Could easily be one's only watch. I think it offers amazing value preowned as well. Great review my friend, thanks as always.
Thanks for showing the globe master, really fell in love with this one
I was hoping you would review the Omega Constellation someday. Very thorough history lesson, thank you! Would love a duel between a vintage Constellation and a vintage Polerouter.
First again! love the recent videos been studying for my degree and this is all that been keeping me going
Honestly I really hope they come out with smaller sizes. Being of a more conservative wrist size I too wish manufacturers would expand more into the smaller sizes. It’s really and under serviced market. Another great video TGV, shall we keep our fingers crossed for smaller versions? 😊
The intros just keep getting cooler! 8) Awesome Navitimer Sir, I didn’t know there are 24 dial models.
Anders
Very glad to see you review the Globemaster! And thank you again for yet another informative and solid video. It's a stunning piece and I have always been puzzled by the fact that it is so overlooked. I'm hoping you'll come across a Squale Giramondo in the future, I'm very curious on this piece and would love your insight on it.
I believe Omega are now right up there battling it out with Rolex for top quality, and in many ways are now exceeding the Rolex standard. Great video TGV!
Ps. Dont sell your other Navitimer, the blue dial is fantastic!
Morning from Sydney!
Thank you Kevin, your approval always makes me happy :D
Best regards,
TGV
I don’t have a list of grail watch...However, I think I just started one. I have a vintage constellation that I consider too delicate to wear on a regular basis….this watch checks all the boxes...Thanks for the wonderful review as always!
Great review! I'm fortunate enough to own a 1960 Connie, complete with the pie pan dial with some beautiful patina. One of my favourites.
Also, being vintage, it's not a ridiculous size. I've got pretty large wrists, but don't like huge watches, so vintage is ideal for me.
Fantastic video, thank you! Enjoyed the elegant & quiet tone of this one, matched the piece beautifully :) congrats!
TGV always has badass intro music. Keep it up man!
Went to the AD with a plan to buy a rolex, ended up buying this. This is the best that Omega, or any other top-notch brand, has to offer! Simply beautiful.
Omega Constellation big Luxury was the main competitor to the Datejust.
I think that I will have to add one of these to the collection after watching your review TGV, great content as always.
The background music is soooooo calming.....
Hi TGV, such a flawless intro followed by immense knowledge which I’ve enjoyed watching. Thank you
Looks like a winner. The watch's name recalls the Globemaster airplane--either the current jet, or the cool fifties prop version. My decade-old Seamaster Aquaterra looks similar, with the brushed blue sunburst face and presentation back. It even has the co-axial movement. Oh, I recently had it serviced by Omega, and it came back looking new, and it is super accurate. I put a Nato strap on it to save the expensive leather deployment strap--you might consider this for the Globemaster as well. Anyway, TGV gives us a fine review of a fine watch. Thanks!
Nice. Based upon many vids, some being yours, I just got a Hamilton Jazzmaster Black Face 42mm Day-Date H-40 that looks much like that. I started at the Rolex (unattainable) Day Date Presidential, and worked down to the Omega Aqua Tera. Being the sensible guy I am, I looked further and found the Hamilton. Very pleased with it. Sword hands, dagger hour marks, this beast absolutely gleams! Its pure killer, and the day window at 12 is the icing on the cake. The engineers bracelet looks very much like your Breitling. I even got the nod of approval from the classy old gent who fit the bracelet. I wouldn't have found it without your help. Thanks ever so much! (+2s/d)
That’s the first luxury timepiece I bought. Kept an eye out for it and finally got it in 2018. I bought it on the bracelet, which is beautiful like armor, and got the leather strap with the deployment. Till this day I always get a smile when I look at.
Having watched all your other reviews, this is by far the most sophisticated and thought through.
Awesome watch but I can’t help thinking....
Why do omega make a 42mm seamaster when they can clearly get the in-house movement into a smaller case.
A 40mm seamaster would be the one.
It's a really nice looking watch. It would be a little too dressy for me as a daily wear watch and I've never been a huge fan of fluted bezels. Tungsten carbide is an interesting material to make it out of and being able to polish it like that is pretty impessive. I am saving for an Omega, but it's the Seamaster 300, a watch I also consider a Rolex killer.
The quality of your videos and enthusiasm you bring is unmatched! Always enjoy everything you put out 👍
Thank you Ryan, hearing that inspires me so much, you have no idea!
Best regards,
TGV
Is it weird that I like to watch your videos when doing homework. Idk it just calms me down or something.
Nice Beat for the intro and great review👌🏼The only channel on RUclips with pure class😃
I tried this one in a boutique...and IMO it looks better on photos and shelf than a wrist.
This and the DJ36 Blue Dial Roman Numerals are both nice. I like both equally.
Although not as iconic I find this Omega piece far more compelling than the Datejust. Thanks for sharing this well done review TGV. 👍🏼
Beautiful - I tried one of these on in the Sydney Omega boutique...loved it
Classy watch. I expect nothing less from the gentry.
Thank you AJ :D
Deeply appreciated my friend,
Onwards and upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
Spoilt yet again TGV! It's always wonderful to find a potential grail watch. For now I'll have to settle for the SARB and Orient Star Classic however!
The orient star classic is a lovely watch. Just sold my GMT variant, and kicking myself...
Great intro, great narrative. Unique dial.... Thanx TGV! Upward and Onward! 😎🍷
Simply stunning timepiece. Not especially my style but gorgeous nonetheless.
Is it weird that this watch reminds me of my wonderful years living in New York City?
Great episode! You do an outstanding with the history and backstory on watches and their manufacturers which is great.
Question: Could you do an episode if you haven't already on the movement the modern datejust has in it verses this Omega movement....to me and this is just my humble opinion but in many ways Rolex reminds me of the watch version of BMW...they have great brand recognition and people sense a status accomplishment if they own one but bimmers are no longer built mechanically with longevity in mind and their motors break down after 100k miles with severe costly repairs. I feel rolexes look great but in comparison to several brands that are less expensive with the similar horological history they don't seem to pack the same punch under the glass.

Omega offers such an almighty massive line of individual watches. I’m not sure why the wouldn’t offer this in a 36, it’s seems like an obvious need. I could wear this or the larger version, but to my eye, the 39 is an easy choice for this given it’s got a dressy side to it.
Easily one of their greatest watches to this day.
Another reader posted Omega can’t fit the movement into a 36.
@@Area_man115, that doesn’t mean much given they typically use a different movement whenever they change sizes of a given watch, as do most watch makers. Look around, look at any company offering the same watch at three different sizes and you’ll find three different movements pretty much every time.
Annddd thanks to TGV my “Next” list gets one item longer. What a tasteful piece. Great review and enjoyable history.
I wish you watch guys would tell us what the price is right off. In fairness, you do give the prices more than other watch experts, and for that I thank you!
Not exactly my taste, but a watch with such a profound connection to astronomy earns my respect within the blink of an eye.
This review was overdue, thank you for the great video! All the best, Philipp
Great video. The omega Constellation line is packed with underrated gems and the modern Globemaster fits right in. The case is absolutely magnificent in my opinion! Looking forward to the next one.

Koen
Recently got a white dial Globemaster on strap. It's such a great piece.
