    Congratulations Andrew for this once-in-a-lifetime present from your Parents. Just picked mine on bracelet, with the stunning blue dial. It's a timeless masterpiece, for today, and in decades, too. Sportswatch on a bracelet, dress watch on a leather strap. What a Beauty!

      It's a gorgeous watch and I can't understand why it's not more popular than the date just. It's simply a better watch whether technically or looks wise. I'd rather have the blue version though....
      One negative is the fit on thin wrists. The case is a great shape but it's not a wrist hugger.
      Finally why Omega won't adjust the lack of micro adjustment is beyond me. Other companies have can add it to a butterfly so why can't Omega??

  • @bryanryan4504
    @bryanryan4504 18 дней назад

    I think the reason being is bc of the look of the fit/correct proportions. In the sartorial world, there's a saying that "fit is king" .. meaning that if faced with a drastic choice between something that is high quality brand but incorrect fit vs a lesser renowned brand but correct fitted, one should ALWAYS choose the latter. It's about the how the clothes or accessory make the person look/ compliment the look, rather than, all focus on the accessory itself.
    So basically, your choice would be you would like the rolex date just over the globemaster, IF the sizes were reversed.
    Honestly you would.

    Omega has not marketed the watch effectively. I also believe, particularly in relation to other omega lines, a few more dial colors for the basic model with tungsten bezel. The annual calendar for example has a stunning green as o recall. Maybe something with texture. There’s so much opportunity for them with this line. It would be a shame if they failed to develop this line a bit more, from its base offerings.

    That pie pan design has to be one of Omega's most famous design cues...I love seeing that on those vintage Constellations, so yeah, it's great they have brought that back, but it still looks so modern. I think because of all the brushed surface it's more of that everyday watch you can wear to anything. Hope that bracelet is a perfect fit otherwise there's gonna be some explaining to do next Christmas if it's not around 😉. Great review and Go Yankees! ( i mean Fightin' Irish!)

    A very handsome and quality piece. Only two negatives IMO. 1) Lack of a screw-down crown. 2) Lack of a quick set date (although it has quick set hour).
    Love the use of tungsten carbide for the bezel....a technically appropriate and pleasant looking feature. Contrast with Rolex's gold bezels...technically a very poor choice of material, based on glitz and appearance alone.

    It’s a watch that’s been on my radar for a while, it’s like the thinking mans datejust (I’ve owned a few DJs so not a hater) but I also like the all brushed bracelet- hate the polished centre links on the aqua terra. I also like the date at 6- which appeases my minor ocd around symmetry 😂
    One minor concern I had with the globemaster was the lower beat rate- do you notice it or not?

    • @closer71
      @closer71 2 года назад

      Superb taste my friend! I’m homing in on this reference myself. But I wouldn’t say it uses a de facto “better” movement than a modern 41mm Datejust - the co-axial movement isn’t really anything special in my opinion but I don’t care. This is the most beautiful, elegant and understated Omega ever and the only Omega I’d buy over a Rolex actually, so I want the Platinum version (or 18K white gold, if need be) as replacement for my 70s era Cartier tank. I do need an updated formal/dress watch and after all my searching and nearly going with a platinum 36mm Day-Date, I discovered this and it’s everything I’ve been looking for.

Theres a reason why you can get omegas at discount and to get Rolex you have to pay a premium usually . Omega bracelets for me really let a lot of their watches down . Rolex bracelets are on a different level . Having said all this the globemaster is a nice watch and hope you have many years enjoyment from it mate 👍

      I have to admit that I'm a huge Rolex fanboy . But you have to admit Omega have and do make some really cool watches
