HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- We all know the icon that the Datejust is. It can’t be questioned, and with its rise, it has paved the way for endless conversation for not only itself but the many alternatives out there. And although you can mention many when contemplating the concept of alternatives to the Datejust, but let’s face, most of them don’t stand a chance in holding their own to arguably one of the most versatile watches ever made. However, today we look at one on a shortlist of alternatives, that in reality, is not as much an alternative, but a worthy adversary, the OMEGA Globemaster. So how do they stack up? Today these two go head-to-head.

Said it once and I'll say it again ... The Globemaster is absurdly underrated, which is good for anyone who wants to buy it.
I think you really have to put the watch on your wrist and actually like it. I get caught up in which movement is better, but it really amounts to a second or two a month. Underrated really means, if you sell it, you won't get what it is worth.
@@rickjason215 Unless it's a Rolex, you'll take a bath on any brand's resale value. Omega is exceptionally bad on the secondary market.
Mike C I know. I guess it’s just name recognition. Everyone knows Rolex. Most people don’t even know that there are much better watch brands than Rolex.
RickJason For sure... though, at the “entry-level” price range, like the Oyster Perpetual, they do build a reliable watch that is also aesthetically pleasing. They certainly aren’t “haute horologie” by any means, but they build a solid watch that holds value well. Personally, JLC is the brand for me.
peespooropinions oops, look like we found someone sensitive spot.
The Globemaster (with a Blue dial) was my first luxury watch that I bought. This was in june of 2017. I am still in love with this watch, it brings a smile to my face every time when checking what time it is.
I would choose the Globemaster.
@Coming Soon Congratulations
Hey Teddy. I was lucky enough to get a blue dial Globemaster as a wedding gift, and it will never leave my collection. It now sits with pride beside my Sky-Dweller and 15400st Royal Oak , and never feels out of its depth, which pretty much says it all. Fantastic - and very much underappreciated - watch.
I bought my daughter a 36 mm DJ on Jubilee for her birthday, fingers crossed she will like it.
Can I be your son? Jk, awesome gift. I am sure she will love it.
@@TeddyBaldassarre lol, Thank You! Being a surprise I wasn't sure so I went with Fluted Dial on Jubilee w/Blue Stick Dial. Thank You for the great videos Teddy!
@@SS-bp8yq Can't go wrong with that!
Can I be your son too. Haha.
@@jwojiunnkon6706 lol
I'm generally not a fan of Omega but that Globemaster is undeniably beautiful and a very worthy alternative. Great content as always
I protecc
I attacc
*But most importantly*
To afford a Rolex, I sell cracc
Love the Omega. The pie pan is a classic. I would go that way. And may very soon. And my struggle is the Globemaster vs the Aqua Terra. Both are solid “only one watch to wear” candidates.
That's an impossible choice. Good luck.
The Globemaster is not a piepan.
@@msbrownbeast Yes it is, from the Omega website - "The caseback includes a stainless steel Central Observatory medallion, while the sun-brushed blue "Pie Pan" dial is reminiscent of the first 1952 Constellation model." Reference 130.33.39.21.03.001
@@ramboinspace3333 You are correct. Upon closer look with the screen image expanded, the white dial does indeed have the piepan shape.
Globemaster is one of the few Omegas that may truly be timeless in styling.
When you display the two watches side-by-side, you have them synchronized to the exact same time. Thank you! This is the standard every RUclipsr's comparison reviews should follow.
I won't lie... That total fed my OCD until it was bursting.
Hi Teddy, I bought a Seamaster Aqua Terra about 12 years ago with the 2500 (B) movement. I still wear it daily and it runs to about 2 seconds accuracy. I am glad I made the purchase. It is a very robust piece that has aged wonderfully. Truth be told, I couldn't have afforded the Datejust at the time. Would I have bought the Datejust if I could have? Probably so. No regrets now, though. I do covet the Day Date with the Jubllee bracelet, however. Not because of any perceived inherent superior quality, just because of the name recognition. I am older now, so I am kind of over wanting to impress others with my watch. I can afford the Day Date now, but don't see the need. Plus, Rolex is kind out of control on pricing for what you get at present. Just my two cents worth.
Love them both and in an ideal situation I would pick the 2. Realistically I'd choose the Globemaster but I think one of the points where Rolex wins is with the jubilee bracelet, that's a game changer in the DJ. Great video
Teddy, nice work comparing the two models, you are one of the best watch RUclips providers out there, always staying on topic with very little favoritism.
Awesome channel! Please keep it up! I am learning so much from your videos, really big thank you for making them. Cheers!
Thank you for watching and glad to help!
How timely, I have just been trying to make this very decision..as for me, I think it will be the omega
Difficult decision. Can't go wrong though.
Exactly. This is soooo timely. I bought a globemaster 3 days back, and an absolutely loving it.
Tried them both on the same day. Rolex DJ does not appeal to me, not a bad looking watch but kinda boring. On top of that, Rolex current politics and behaviour of sales people is a real turn off from the brand. From the other hand, it was a pleasure to deal with Omega sales people. The Globemaster is a very striking peace.
My first luxury (over 2k) watch was a Seamaster Aqua Terra. I like the globemaster, but picked the Seamaster over Rolex. No regrets.
Excellent choice! Classy dude
Thx for the vid. Very thoughtful of you to put your wrist size beside the wrist shots!
Didn't check this channel for a year but glad that little Teddy channel grew
I'm a watch newbie who wore a black Seiko SKX with jubilee band since the early 2000's and before that a Casio dive-type quartz with a gold face and black rubber strap (never knew the model). Recently I lost my beloved SKX but made the best out of it by going watch shopping! :-)
I settled on a Seiko SARB033, which I love, and it stoked my interest in watches in general so I started researching and watching videos. For us newbies your videos are hands down the best. Great information, both objective and your subjective opinions, delivered with style, humility and a wisdom beyond your years.
When I saw your watches of world leaders video I really appreciated you not going political and just sticking to the important thing -- the watches the leaders wear. From your watches of famous musicians video your take on Led Zeppelin is exactly the same as mine, and you're my eldest son's age. One video ended with your great grandfather's watch, which moved me so much I forget which video it came from because your great grandfather's watch *is* that video to me.
Anyway, because of you I've decided I'm now shopping for at least one mid-level watch in the $1k to $2k range (I need a dive watch but all those other styles, you know), which of course will lead to a high end watch somewhere down the road. Sorry to drone on, but keep up the great work -- the success of my watch shopping depends on you!
Very nice comparison and video editing.
Globemaster is my choice. I'm largely a sports watch guy and the Globemaster sits nicely towards that aesthetic. You can't beat Omega in the quality of their movements these days either. The jumping hour hand is indeed the cherry on top for me as I cross time zones frequently for work. Nice video, Teddy, from a fellow Buckeye.
Finally, the appropriate watch to go head on with the datejust in a comparison vid.
The Globemaster is my grail watch... I was drooling watching this video... I love everything about it.
Great Omega on your wrist, Teddy! I like it so much! Thanks for the video:)
For my first Rolex I was certain I would get myself the exact 36mm Datejust you've featured, minus the Roman numerals: the variance from I through XII hurts the watch's symmetry, in my opinion, so I decided it was to be the stick indices. And fortunately they had the exact model in my local boutique!
Though when I tried it on? Too small. I had worn an Omega Speedmaster (42mm) for some years though, so that no doubt played a role in my appraisal. I took my time, and in the jeweller's case they had another watch I admired: the Milgauss (GV). Its 40mm size danced the line of vintage-to-modern sizing and was right on the money for me, its lack of a maxi case and crown guards being true to its 1950's origins. I had the choice of white, blue, and black dials that weekend. I took my time, trying on every one of them. White? No nice. The washed-out dial had been discontinued even at that time, not due to high sales, but due to people realizing it kind of sucked. Though decades from now, as we've seen with the Daytonas, this may very well boost its value, who knows. The so-called "black" dial? Well, with the green crystal, it's hued with more of an olive tone, especially as a contrast to my fair skin tone. It was a no-brainer: and I pulled the trigger on the blue, which matches my eyes.
Great video, as usual. Come to think of it, have you featured a Milgauss? Requisition a few, I'll help you with with the copy.
A well-matched competition. With a date at 6 o'clock, no cyclops, Co-Axial escapement, and display caseback... I would pick the Omega. Still, DateJust is a great pick, and thinner!
Nice comparison. Very unbiased. What about someone who wants to choose for the "1 watch collection" or "the only luxury watch"? What would you advise them if they're equally attracted to both brands?
I love that pie pan dial Omega, but c’mon, that sunburst silver Datejust dial. 😍
I could give my kidney and part of my liver for a globemasrer.
Cost me more than a paycheck but less than a body part.
Someone is selling a globemaster for $5000. It is hard to resist buying it
Yes i know, i need to start saving it's been a rough year.
But anyway if anyone is interested on my kidney its in great shape !
Own a blue dial SS Globemaster since 2017, originally on bracelet but now use the official super cool and blue leather strap (with deployment).
Best emotive and lifetime investment timepiece I have ever made! 💙⌚
$7,200 for your kidney? I'm selling mine for nothing than $6,000,000. Lol!!
I am just not a fan of the fluted bezels. That is why I fell in love with the vintage Rolex turn-o-graph with the gold diver bezel.
Teddy, The Arts Traveler likes the Omega Aqua Terra "Seamaster" 38mm. He prefers the newer horizontal lines with the date at the 6 o'clock position. The specs are impressive and the watch itself is a beauty.

Just picked up a datejust from bobs. Ordered last Sunday night and it was at my door Tuesday morning. And every bit as beautiful as the pictures.
i really appreciate the wrist size included in the wristshots!
Hi Teddy,
Coming in to you from Johannesburg, South Africa. I really enjoy your programs and continue the great interesting content. I like the Omega's big dial and pie pan. I am a huge fan of the Constellation details. I must just find one to buy. Nothing wrong with Rolex. Best wishes Mark
Great video. You have a video that talks about Oris but I can't find it.
The true definitive Datejust with the jubilee bracelet, gold fluted bezel, and champagne dial is just a classic look that can't be beat.
I prefer the Omega both for looks and function.
I have a DateJust in my collection. On seeing this, Globemaster is superbly amazing. I can’t take my eyes off the blue dial version. Will grab a piece soon!
Always thought the real Omega alternative to the Datejust is the Acquaterra.
I perfectly now it’s not the direct respective offer, but it’s still the intuitive competitor in a matter of one watch collection.
globalmaster wins in my opinion😅
HIGHLY UNDERRATED. I would get this over a Tudor. Better movement too and much highly quality.
I nearly bought this watch. It’s stunning and very light and comfortable. The dial is so clean and crisp.
Big fan of the globemaster especially the blue version on the strap! Datejust is lovely but too dressy... the omega wins when it comes to looks, versatility and movement :)
Another great comparison vid, for me it would definitely be the Globemaster, I think the brushed finish and the extra durability of the tungsten carbide bezel make it a better choice for everyday especially if your everyday is not in an office somewhere, On top of that I just can do the cyclops that stands above the plane of the crystal on the datejust or any other watch for that matter. IMVHO it looks like an after though.
the blue dial- two tone globemaster if new- if vintage a two tone, blue dial datejust in a 34mm case for me.
I really like the Datejust dial; just a classic beauty. The only thing I can't stand is the cyclops which gets in the way of the harmonious symmetry of any dial. The Globemaster is definitely offering a great value proposition and I would consider it, along with the sportier looking Aqua Terra.
I would pick the Globemaster. In fact I did buy it and it was delivered last week!😀
Hey Teddy. Big fan of your channel! Nice video
Thanks my friend!
Between this two the globemaster for me!
I’m in love with that globe master
Hey Teddy,
Isn't it a good idea to make a video about chronographs with one or even zero sub dials?
Great comparison though!
Bought the Globemaster Annual.......,,,,2 tone. Killer looks, knock out solid watch.
Not opposed to getting a DateJust, my wife loves hers. One thing I'd add is that sitting next to that Rolex DJ makes the Globemaster look more silver on video than on my wrist. Having taken that Omega and my cal-2893 Avenger GMT to Europe this year, it took pretty much no time to see that the coaxial jumping hour hand is better for travel.
For me it would still have to be the Datejust. That along with the Jubilee reminds me of that classic look that made it a classic to begin with.
The Globemaster is superior watch in every way! I get one very soon.
If it was sn either-or situation Ibeoukd opt for the DJ, but I already own a fluted bezel DJ, an Air-King and an Omega Moonwatch and the Globemaster would compliment my little collection very well. It would be two matching sets from two great watch makers.
Globemaster all the way! Nice video, keep the good work my friend!
Is it possible to show specifications of the both watches next to each other in the comparison videos?
Hey there Teddy I just want to get your opinion on this but I'm going to be getting a rolex 36mm two-tone with a champagne dial and the only dilemma I'm having is a choosing between a fluted bezel or smooth domed bezel I love them both! And I just wanted to hear your opinion if you wouldn't mind? Also, I'm gonna be going with a oyster bracelet
Specs-wise I would choose the Globemaster, but i think the Datejust has more colorways and designs to choose from, so you could tailor your choice a bit more.
At the risk of driving prices up, this Globemaster is my favorite watch. I don't have one (yet), but that dial is stunning.
Hi Ted
Rolex is refined tradition, Omega on the forefront with new technology. So what do you prefer...?
They’re both wonderful timepieces no doubt. Extremely high quality from two of the best watchmakers in the world.
I’ve got both of them in the vintage incarnations, Date Just from 71’ and Constellation from 68’. Irrelevant here some might say. But my point is - just as with these newer models- it’s impossible to choose😆
Two great watches. That version of the DateJust isn’t my favorite combination. Love the classic simplicity of the GlobeMaster. I wish it had a screw down crown.
I have a question. Can you bring the lustre and shine back to an old leather watch strap? I don't want to throw away my favourite strap but it looks really old now.
this specific Globemaster (silvery-white dial, tungsten fluted bezel, new SS bracelet design) is the obvious winner!
Hi Teddy,
I'd really like to see a video about watches with good lume. What do you think?
I like the contemporary look of the Globemaster and the matt black hands.
They're actually silver hands, looks black in the video/photos
cant go wrong either way great video
Great review. I choose the Globemaster every day of the week.
You're doing a great job on the vids. Keep em coming. One day I might be able to afford a legit watch.
Omega, everyday. That said, I'd be more like an Aqua Terra.
Randy Allen I agree I love the aqua terra, my next watch next year
@@lifesanabyss2727 I feel the same way, go for it !
Got the Aqua Terra 38,5mm. Date at 6 O'Clock. I absolutely love it. In my opinion, the more beautiful watch compared to the Globemaster.
AT is one of those rare modern pieces that have become there own thing, like the DJ. One might as well make a video entitled "Aqua Terra Alternatives".
Rolex is so much more superior !!!
It’s almost absurd how much superior the Globemaster is compared to the Datejust for the same retail.
Delusional much?
Love the Omega but that one lacks micro adjustment on the clasp, and that just sucks. Same goes for the Aqua Terra for example
I own a datejust 41 dark rhodium diamond dial oyster bracelet and the word gorgeous doesn’t give it justice. Also I own a black Basel black dial submariner date.. two most iconic Rolex’s in my opinion.
Great video
Globemaster for sure…..it’s a beautiful timepiece. The new green dial at 41 mm is really nice.
Great video, Teddy. I’m one of those weirdos who would choose the Globemaster. It’s more subtle, less shouty than the Datejust.
Good point. The DJ especially in white gold with the fluted bezel is very blingy and pops; the Globemaster more classical and reserved
both have been near the top of list at various times. right now I vote for the globemaster. tomorrow...?
Globe master for me. Love the design and the 8900 double-barrel movement.
The blue globe master is my grail piece it's absolutely fantastic
You selected exactly the right Omega to go up against the DateJust. IMHO the Globemaster is more than a match for the Rolex. I’m not a bracelet guy, but they’d both rock a beautiful leather strap.
nice video but It would have been better to compare the omega with the new datejust ref 126234 with the upgraded movement.
Hey are west end watch co is it a good watch to buy?
I just wish the Constellation had the bracelet finished more sharply than they are now. It looks really elegant with all the crisp edges and corners in the face then gets oddly contrasted with the rounded finish of the bracelet.
A datejust is one my grails. Should be getting it soon in the next year or 2. College graduation gift for myself lol
I would choose the Globemaster. What about a Globemaster vs De Ville Tresor in steel comparison. Which would you choose and why?
“It’s time” 🤣🤣🤣 love it
Rolex has the more quality & eye catching look , oyster bracelet, silver roman numeral dial just pops, however price as always the kicker. Great reveiw. Thanx. P.S. Tx.
The Datejust needs the Jubilee bracelet, it just looks so much more dressy with it and it it also more comfortable.
I like the globemaster but I would have liked a few more polished surfaces.
I want both of them.
Man can you do a hamilton khaki field day date auto vs oris movember, I'm a collage student and i dont know which to buy for every day use
Both great watches.. But .. Go with the oris... Trust me... You wont regret it...
My only gripe against the Omega is that the bezels too thin. Rolex kinda has this perfect proportion between the dial width to the dial diameter. And its only that little mm that makes the diff in how balanced it looks
Two top class watches,the date just for me by a whisker!!
I've had my eye on one for awhile now...
Tough choice... I would choose the Aqua Terra ;)
Has anyone else noticed the dial on the GM seems to be off-centre? I noticed it on my own and now see it in every review video. Pause at 0:58 and you will see a slight step down on the outer right edge of the dial just before it meets the case. This step slowly disappears as you move around the dial and is not visible on the outer left edge. Mine has the same issue but the step is visible on the outer left edge. Considering sending my watch back to Omega but seems they all have the same issue - strange.
What about price of omega globemaster demonstrated on this viedo?
I'd pick the Globemaster, hands down. I love the pie pan dial. I too wear a vintage Constellation with pie pan dial, nearly identical to yours, and the hour hand adjust for is very handy when travelling between time zones, a feature I miss that the ill fated Omega Quartz 134o movements offered. Great video, thanks for posting.
Which watch has a better, more accurate reliable movement with the probability of less repair or service charges in the future? This should always be emphasized
Wow, just came across this. I just bought both. Black dial Datejust and a Blue dial Globamaster. What a coincidence
