Before I even knew what this watch was it’s style really appealed to me. Every watch enthusiast knows what I’m talking about, when a certain watch just hits you right in the heart more than many others.
Great review! I’ve owned this beauty since 2015 and i still find myself drooling over it when the light hits it just right. Nice job picking out a lot of the wonderful details most people miss
@@melbguy1 I have small wrists and I think the blue dial will wear a little smaller. I also really like the way the blue dial looks, and the pie pan dial might even stand out more on the blue but have not done a side by side. In the UK you can sometimes find the blue dial, gold bezel version on sale too which makes it an easier pill to swallow 😉
@@milchpuder I think for me it would be a choice between the Globemaster, Aquaterra or Seamaster 300 Co-axial. But I really need to see them on the wrist & see the strap options
@@neznamtija8081 I bought a Grand Seiko 60th Anniversary SLGH003. A bit more expensive, but it is slim and has a very good high beat movement. That said, I've only worn the watch a few times, so it will be going up for sale shortly.
Thank you Bruce for a great review, as usual! Don't know why this beauty is so underrated and overlooked. 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!
I was lucky to get the blue dial with both bracelet and leather strap as an unexpected wedding gift. Awesome watch that will never leave my collection. Nice video Bruce.
I like it’s understated elegance .. I’m certainly an omega convert, so impressed , The PO white dial orange bezel will be given consideration when my omega boutique reopens . I may have to think about further ship outs to make room ...
I think you hit the nail on the head with this video. I am sufficiently enamoured of the Globemaster that I have both the blue and the opaline versions. Really top class watch.
Ugh, I think I should have chosen this over the snowflake. It aggravates me how magnified any scratches are on my GS and therefore I don't wear it as often as I want. I like the design language of this and the scratch resistance is something I didn't know I would value so highly.
Agree, this is not a Datejust alternative, it has its own DNA. That being said, I do think the lack of screw-drown and an easy link adjustment would've improved the Globemaster
Yes, the Globemaster is the perfect alternative to the Dayjust IMO. I compared both watches in depth and the Globemaster is simply the better watch, design-wise and technically, so I bought one. My wife said that the Dayjust looked like a watch for old men.... :-)
Don’t really like this. Into me it’s “pretending to look like a datejust”. I think the better watch is the aqua terra. But again everything is personal preference.
@@matthoffman6962 The Aquaterra is definitely a good value considering it's strengths, incl: the same Caliber 8900 METAS-certified movement, arguably superior band & screw-down crown. You don't get the tungsten carbide bezel or stunning pie pan dial, nor the more conservative looks however. So there are pro's and con's with both watches
Buying one this week to add to my 3861 Speedie. I was originally hooked on the blue dial, but this one now seems to make much more sense from a stylistic point of view. Great review, and can't wait.
Hi Bruce. Your comment “Growth through Contraction” resonated with me. I’m applying that paradigm to my watch collection (clothes and personal stuff too). Keep up the great work.
I have this with the blue dial on alligator and I grow to love it more by the day. I thought long and hard about the bracelet, and the annual calendar too, but they all look excellent. I'd recommend it without hesitation.
That is gorgeous! Love it. I looked up Tungsten steel and it is apparently 5X harder than stainless steel... put this on the future list... Thanks, Bruce.
The blue dial Globemaster is at the top of my list to get next. Would love a screwdown crown and glidelock type adjustment system too. Not sure why all bracelets made these days don't come with a glidelock type system for watches at this price point. Should be standard.
Yup, the addition of a micro adjustment system on these pieces would scare the hell out of Rolex because it would make the Globemaster, the Aqua Terra and the Railmaster superb
Stunning watch and great review. Always loved looking at the 60s Constellations in the window of the now-defunct Austin Kaye in London. The Globemaster really does capture Omega's history. So glad they're doing this. Many of us buyers, or dreamers appreciate nods to the past in a modern watch. Casio and Seiko please note.
Noticed this when shopping for a GO SeaQ last week. Went back to my AD today to buy this as well as it didn’t get out of my head. Thought I knew all the beautiful Omegas, but definitely overlooked this one.
Hot damn what a beauty. However, and i keep on mentioning until Omega gives in 😉, where is the micro adjustment on the clasp. That would make the Globemaster, the Aqua Terra and the Railmaster an instant smash hit.
An oldie, but a goodie!!! Omega, my favorite brand. The "Globemaster," is definitely part of that reason. I feel that it would make the "ideal" daily driver for me. Thanks for sharing it
The watch really is a beauty. But, with a name like Globmaster, it should have a GMT complication in my humble opinion. Tungsten would be a grail watch for me. I stay away from high polish watches, but would love to have a high polish watch made of tungsten with a high polish tungsten bracelet. Lum-Tec had at least one watch like that, but never made more. Tungsten is so hard it is cost prohibitive to machine.😨. It is also so hard it can shatter if dropped on a tile surface. Great review of a classy watch.😍
This definitely is my Grail Watch. I've searched a white dial watch for several years and first landed an a Rolex OP39. But, it was impossible to find at an AD and I wasn't willing to pay 10% - 20% above MSRP on the grey market. Sadly, I gave up trying to obtain an OP39 or Datejust. I had no idea this Omega model existed. But, it looks absolutely fantastic.
Just be cautious. This is definitely more to the dress watch side of the sport line at omega. It’s a fantastic watch, but it doesn’t have the water resistance of an OP or DJ. If you don’t care about wearing it into the pool this is an incredible incredible piece. Just think twice if you’re planning on swimming haha.
Great video, beautiful watch. Have a polished tungsten bezel on a Breitling Galactic and yes it’s tough and shiny. But this Omega is also cool. Got its own look going on
A better kept secret is the Vintage Omega watch. These watches that are 70 plus years old are very Accurate. The styling on these watches are unbelievable. They are true underrated and you get a lot for Your dollar.
Screw-down crowns are nice because they are more fun, but as far as the water resistance during normal swimming,WR 100m is WR 100m. Maintaining the seals is the important thing.
Omega is a fantastic brand that does not fall short in any department. IMO the best Omega is the discontinued blue dial Skyfall Aqua Terra I am glad i feel so otherwise I would be really poor and broke
Awesome watch Bruce! Very under the radar.. Please do a review on the new Omega Constellation gents 39mm integrated bracelet model.. That would be interesting to see.. Now that there is so much hype around Gerald Genta style integrated bracelet watches out there.. Thanks for sharing.⌚😁👍
Its so close to being perfect! if only it had a brushed non-fluted bezel. That plus a GMT would just about make me collapse. My hate for the fluted bezel is not because I think it makes it look like a datejust because I hate the fluted bezel on there too. Im an equal opportunity hater of fluted bezels. Yet this globemaster is so good that its making me question my hate........
Mohammad Zaman I always hated the DJ fluting - it seems unnecessarily fussy and blingey - but when I first set eyes on the GM I had no issues at all. And bought two.
@@jamessymington2466 I've seen it in person and the bezel for sure never struck me as being as bad as the datejust especially with that simple but gorgeous case. However now that I'm seeing it in other videos, the bezel on the GM now does seem to initially hit me more as a textured bezel/flattened coin edge bezel than as a fluted bezel. Honestly I love that case SOOOOOOO much that if I can manage to change my mind on the bezel a bit more then it's a done deal. Looks like my AD will be seeing me a lot more than usual in the future!
I thought the bezel is nice. I would prefer the dial of the aqua terra though. But both are beautiful to me. I'll gladly sell both my kidneys for them.
This is a beautiful watch, and a style that I would like for that price. The only thing I would ask is if you would include the wrist circumference that these watches would fit. I hate having to hunt down a proper band for my watches! Great video as always Bruce!!!
Funny you say it is more in the realm of a sports watch, where to me it seems much more dressy than a diver or chronograph. I think we agree that it is a gorgeous piece, and if there is one watch I'd prefer in blue, it is that pie-pan.
The Globemaster is a beautifully executed yet elegant and discreet watch design with strong tool watch qualities. My only gripes is the high price,(Tungsten is difficult and expensive to machine), that ‘pie pan’ dial might be a constellation model signature but I don’t like it, and lack of screw down crown. Apart from that I’m wandering what has Rolex OP or Datejust got that the Globemaster hasn’t got? It’s still a winner to me despite the gripes.
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 1:26, 3:50, 9:03 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 (you can see it disappear at 9:03) 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.
I wish they had a smaller 34-36mm version since I have smaller wrists. All of the ladies watches I see on omega website have obnoxious diamond markers. Any recommendations of a model similar to this one in a smaller size?
I wish I liked this watch more. It leaves me cold.Uninteresting other than the pie pan. I feel like it is neither dressy nor casual, but not versatile, if that makes any sense. I am looking forward to you talking about the Aqua terra. Any chance you could compare the green with the black dial one? Thanks as always for the great content!
I really like this watch, but on balance think 🤔 the aqua terra tick ✅ all the boxes including the screw down crown , the rail master is lovely 😊 to. Omega are fantastic lately 👍🏻😎
I really love this watch, but I feel they’re a bit aggressive on their pricing. I paid less for my Explorer, and far less for my GS Snowflake. If they went more in the $4,000-$5,000 range it would sell much better.
Im saving for it, THIS is my next watch. Blue (nightsky blue/constellation blue) with bracelet. It looks like a new version of my 69 Connie...especially the bezel, case model and hands. Fantastic! Btw...tungsten-carbide.
Damn it, Bruce! You're really preventing me from saving my money for that Hentschel H1... I took a closer look at the Globemaster a few years ago. It was on the leather strap and that one was to stiff so that I decided to let the GM passing by... but the simple white version with the bracelet.... ouch! That could hurt my wallet seriously...
I don't blame you. I should be getting an Aqua Terra in later today and I am a bit worried to spend some time with it. I know I will want one. Will do a compare with the GM as well
This and the Aqua Terra are both overlooked by enthusiasts IMO. I wonder what this watch would look like in a darker titanium case and bracelet with the same tungsten bezel and light dial.
this is way better looking than all of their other non-dive watches. nearly perfect design. love the 6 o'clock date. this, or white dial oyster perpetual are at the top of my list. the OP has better sizes for my wrist. omega has a better movement though... 🤔 tough one. if this was 36mm and had a screw down crown it would be the one for sure. why doesnt anyone make 36mm watches with 18mm lug width? frustrating.
Hi Bruce great video as usual, would I be right in Saying the braclet tappers from 20mm-18mm. I only say this as i'am interested in purchasing one and will soon visit a AD, cheers.
I like the Globemaster very much but didn't buy one because I would prefer a flat bezel and 41mm. I think Omega is doing a mistake by not offering more variations of the Globemaster. Cheers from Switzerland.
Please hear me out. We all know that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. But if you can be objective then you clearly see why this model is not popular. It is not an integrated design but rather individual design elements standing out with no cohesiveness. However with a few tweaks, Omega can completely create a masterpiece. I would make it for the unisex market and make it a classy/dressy allrounder. Here is what I would do. 1) I would reduce the dial size. This is more important because the bezel looks too narrow. 2) I would make the bracelet a fraction narrow and give it some tapering. The link design is lovely. I would maybe make the link a bit smaller (vertically) in small increments. This will add links and give the bracelet a silk smooth flow and hug the wrist (again sticking with the unisex theme) 3) points 1 & 2 will also open up the ‘unisex’ market 4) The hands are too narrow. I would completely redesign the hands. It is too simple with zero thought given to the design 5) I would make the piepan design a bit more subtle. Perhaps make it as a textured dial in a pattern that compliments the bezel. 6) The butterfly clasp sucks. I have it on my AT and it is the weakest link in both this watch and the AT What i won’t change 1) the brushed elements 2) the design of the links 3) the vintage omega logo 4) the movement (but i would make it a bit more prominent in the marketing) 5) white dial and maybe a silver dial What do you guys think?
BJORN M I don’t agree with some of your points Bjørn. One reason I steered well clear of the DJ 41 is because the bezel is fractionally too wide and looks out of whack (although nicely proportioned in the 36). Another thing is that the pie-pan is often invisible - particularly on the white one - so any more subtle and you needn’t even bother having it. But then I am partial to them having bought two in white and blue! :-)
The end links are not very good integrated: there is a gap between the end link and following link of the bracelet, inner side attachment of the end links is bad made, compared to the Seamaster bracelet integration.
I bought the Chrome dial SMP after your review, I knew I was getting it or the Black and White but you closed the deal for me, and with either money I saved just on colors I bought a custom fitted Tux! But my idea on the SMP is slightly different than yours, I think it’s a dress watch..... the Toughest Dress Watch made but I think it’s just gorgeous in a suit and really shines, it’s it’s natural home.
In full honesty, I love discovering new watches and having designs grow on me but this one just doesn’t work for me... I am looking forward to seing one in real life and hopefully have my mind changed
I can see why it rationally makes sense. I can also see that I absolutely not like it. I would never spend anything close to that amount for a watch with that design. But hey, it's my taste.
A lovely watch, but rado do a tungsten carbide bezel on the diastar range and don't charge anywear near omega prices. I own a rado original diver, and can testify that it's not scratched at all on the bezel. Even old rado models look like new because this material is so tough. Maybe you should check rado out Bruce ?
@@BruceWilliams , oh yes I've seen the captain cook reviews, I've a chance of getting the 37mm with the brown sundial curved face, but just feel it might be a tad small for me. I know they do bigger faces but I love the dial on the 37mm one. I might wait for the new seiko spb143 to 149 series to come out, because I bought the 051 which I bought because of your superb review, and because it's such a beautiful watch. So I'm eager to see these new seikos, can't wait.
Nice watch no doubt. I think it's probably such a well kept secret as Omega would have a hard time pushing advertising on a flutted bezel watch. Regardless of Omega's long history of using such design queues, in today's market the flutted bezel is really only synonymous with one brand.... Just my guess though.
Before I even knew what this watch was it’s style really appealed to me. Every watch enthusiast knows what I’m talking about, when a certain watch just hits you right in the heart more than many others.
Love the globemaster its a really hidden gem in the Omega collection.

Jonathan, I'm also considering this watch. Do you prefer the blue or white dial version?

You are an honest man!
I think you hit the nail on the head with this video. I am sufficiently enamoured of the Globemaster that I have both the blue and the opaline versions. Really top class watch.
Thanks James
Ugh, I think I should have chosen this over the snowflake. It aggravates me how magnified any scratches are on my GS and therefore I don't wear it as often as I want. I like the design language of this and the scratch resistance is something I didn't know I would value so highly.
Agree, this is not a Datejust alternative, it has its own DNA. That being said, I do think the lack of screw-drown and an easy link adjustment would've improved the Globemaster
Agree 100
Yes, the Globemaster is the perfect alternative to the Dayjust IMO. I compared both watches in depth and the Globemaster is simply the better watch, design-wise and technically, so I bought one. My wife said that the Dayjust looked like a watch for old men.... :-)
You mean the addition of a screwed crown i guess

Jeffery Neu I bumped my GM crystal/bezel first into a car park wall a few weeks ago. Left a nice scratch on the wall but nothing on the watch.
This definitely is my Grail Watch. I've searched a white dial watch for several years and first landed an a Rolex OP39.

Omega falls short in micro adjustment department on the Globemaster, Aqua Terra and the Railmaster.
Hi Bruce. After 4 years, this is an excellent and relevant video! I have a 7.5 inch wrist: would this watch be a tad small for me?

Classy, understated. Perfect for a gentleman.
A Gentlemans watch, I'd suggest.
The roam Annual Calendar version with the a silver dial and light blue print which would match your Seamaster.

LOVE the Globemaster. The dial, the bezel, so unique. I wish it was 40-42mm. The 38.4mm is just to small for me.
Acquired a blue globemaster during my visit to Japan. Selling it was probably my worst watch-related mistake
I really like this watch, but on balance think 🤔 the aqua terra tick ✅ all the boxes including the screw down crown , the rail master is lovely 😊 to. Omega are fantastic lately 👍🏻😎
Looks really good with the brown leather strap.
beautifully understated design. incredible
I really love this watch, but I feel they’re a bit aggressive on their pricing. I paid less for my Explorer, and far less for my GS Snowflake. If they went more in the $4,000-$5,000 range it would sell much better.
lol every product would sell better lower including your Rolex and GS. Great thing about Omega is nice discounts to be had all around
Im saving for it, THIS is my next watch. Blue (nightsky blue/constellation blue) with bracelet. It looks like a new version of my 69 Connie...especially the bezel, case model and hands. Fantastic! Btw...tungsten-carbide.
I would love to add a blue as well. The 2020 connies look good too
Guido!!
I have a two-tone integrated Connie with fluted bezel and a blue Globey, and you're right, it's a great updated look.
Cracking watch!
Very nice watch also in the blue dial
How is the precision?
Kind of a dad watch but one has to admire the quality.
lol, well I am a Dad maybe that is why I enjoy it so
I'm not a Dad, but I would sport that piece.
Damn it, Bruce! You're really preventing me from saving my money for that Hentschel H1...
I took a closer look at the Globemaster a few years ago. It was on the leather strap and that one was to stiff so that I decided to let the GM passing by... but the simple white version with the bracelet.... ouch! That could hurt my wallet seriously...
I don't blame you. I should be getting an Aqua Terra in later today and I am a bit worried to spend some time with it. I know I will want one. Will do a compare with the GM as well
If "CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER" was omitted and the back was solid it would be near perfect.
Too understated + too expensive?
It's an omega how cheap do you want it?
This and the Aqua Terra are both overlooked by enthusiasts IMO. I wonder what this watch would look like in a darker titanium case and bracelet with the same tungsten bezel and light dial.
I wish it had more options of colors for the face....I want a black dial
this is way better looking than all of their other non-dive watches. nearly perfect design. love the 6 o'clock date. this, or white dial oyster perpetual are at the top of my list. the OP has better sizes for my wrist. omega has a better movement though... 🤔 tough one. if this was 36mm and had a screw down crown it would be the one for sure. why doesnt anyone make 36mm watches with 18mm lug width? frustrating.
They just don't sell as well as larger watches do. Its sad, but all about sales
Hi Bruce great video as usual, would I be right in Saying the braclet tappers from 20mm-18mm. I only say this as i'am interested in purchasing one and will soon visit a AD, cheers.
I like the Globemaster very much but didn't buy one because I would prefer a flat bezel and 41mm. I think Omega is doing a mistake by not offering more variations of the Globemaster. Cheers from Switzerland.

Please hear me out. We all know that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. But if you can be objective then you clearly see why this model is not popular. It is not an integrated design but rather individual design elements standing out with no cohesiveness.
However with a few tweaks, Omega can completely create a masterpiece. I would make it for the unisex market and make it a classy/dressy allrounder.
Here is what I would do.
1) I would reduce the dial size. This is more important because the bezel looks too narrow.
2) I would make the bracelet a fraction narrow and give it some tapering. The link design is lovely. I would maybe make the link a bit smaller (vertically) in small increments. This will add links and give the bracelet a silk smooth flow and hug the wrist (again sticking with the unisex theme)
3) points 1 & 2 will also open up the ‘unisex’ market
4) The hands are too narrow. I would completely redesign the hands. It is too simple with zero thought given to the design
5) I would make the piepan design a bit more subtle. Perhaps make it as a textured dial in a pattern that compliments the bezel.
6) The butterfly clasp sucks. I have it on my AT and it is the weakest link in both this watch and the AT
What i won’t change
1) the brushed elements
2) the design of the links
3) the vintage omega logo
4) the movement (but i would make it a bit more prominent in the marketing)
5) white dial and maybe a silver dial
What do you guys think?
BJORN M I don’t agree with some of your points Bjørn. One reason I steered well clear of the DJ 41 is because the bezel is fractionally too wide and looks out of whack (although nicely proportioned in the 36). Another thing is that the pie-pan is often invisible - particularly on the white one - so any more subtle and you needn’t even bother having it. But then I am partial to them having bought two in white and blue! :-)
Basically your suggestion is to make is look alike DJ 😂
Excellent video of a beautiful watch.👍👍👍
That Seamaster is a beauty
Amazing and fantastic original looking watches 😀
Gazing into my crystal ball, this could your next purchase.
It could. I am a sucker for the blue dial
The end links are not very good integrated: there is a gap between the end link and following link of the bracelet, inner side attachment of the end links is bad made, compared to the Seamaster bracelet integration.
I bought the Chrome dial SMP after your review, I knew I was getting it or the Black and White but you closed the deal for me, and with either money I saved just on colors I bought a custom fitted Tux! But my idea on the SMP is slightly different than yours, I think it’s a dress watch..... the Toughest Dress Watch made but I think it’s just gorgeous in a suit and really shines, it’s it’s natural home.
Um’n no.. it‘s not a dress watch..........
Bruce, I swiped to the end of the video to hear if you bought it. Lol
lol I would love to buy em all but can't
Bruce Williams looked good on the wrist
Stunning piece
My only complaint is the bracelet design. Just doesn’t seem to fit the rest of the watch IMHO.
Agree about a screw down crown.
Great watch. Good job with this vids Bruce, keep going!
Have 9 more all edited and ready to drop this week and next
In full honesty, I love discovering new watches and having designs grow on me but this one just doesn’t work for me... I am looking forward to seing one in real life and hopefully have my mind changed
I can see why it rationally makes sense. I can also see that I absolutely not like it. I would never spend anything close to that amount for a watch with that design. But hey, it's my taste.
I haven't seen it in person but I might like it better in blue.
I love the design and movement on the Globemaster, but I feel it heavily overlaps with the Aqua Terra in terms of its intended use.
A lovely watch, but rado do a tungsten carbide bezel on the diastar range and don't charge anywear near omega prices. I own a rado original diver, and can testify that it's not scratched at all on the bezel. Even old rado models look like new because this material is so tough. Maybe you should check rado out Bruce ?
I've owned a couple and reviewed them here on the channel. I like Rado
@@BruceWilliams , nice one, I've never seen your reviews on them, I will look through your back catalogue then , thanks
@@BruceWilliams , oh yes I've seen the captain cook reviews, I've a chance of getting the 37mm with the brown sundial curved face, but just feel it might be a tad small for me. I know they do bigger faces but I love the dial on the 37mm one. I might wait for the new seiko spb143 to 149 series to come out, because I bought the 051 which I bought because of your superb review, and because it's such a beautiful watch. So I'm eager to see these new seikos, can't wait.
Does it wear bigger than 38.5mm? The only reason I haven’t been considering it is the size. My wrist usually needs 41mm .
A stunning watch
Beautiful 👍🏻
I will never understand why would someone buy a nice watch and don’t save the papers or box.
Why?
It could do with being a little smaller and I am not a fan of the clasp, I prefer the more sports style clasp
@Bruce Williams: Do you know what the size of the dial is on this watch?
this will kill the DateJust SS.. Tough tungsten, master chronometer... excellent Globemaster!✌️😁🕺🎉👍
> 15,000 gauss antimagnetic
Interesting piece! Wouldn’t be my pick for that price tag
That bracelet looks nice..
Big chunk of cash for something no one will notice, too understated
Nice watch no doubt. I think it's probably such a well kept secret as Omega would have a hard time pushing advertising on a flutted bezel watch. Regardless of Omega's long history of using such design queues, in today's market the flutted bezel is really only synonymous with one brand.... Just my guess though.
It's a lovely piece...........
Looks great, has style.
That is truly a knockout piece
