Globemaster

I’m new to this forum and a huge Omega fan. Been reading some past posts, lots of great information.

I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger on a white/silver dial Globemaster. The only question is the bracelet. I did try it on at an OB and it did seem nice, however I’m a bit nervous to buy another watch with no micro adjustment. I’m not against buying the GM on a leather strap. In fact, I was planning on getting multiple straps for it as it looks so versatile. I’m about to sell my Aqua Terra because I’m not a huge fan of the bracelet or the oem rubber strap. I will say, I’m more annoyed by the polished center links in the AT than the fit. But there has been a few occasions where I really wanted a micro adjustment.

Any thoughts on the difference between the AT bracelet and the GM? Is the GM oem leather strap nice? Anyone throw an alternative bracelet on a Globemaster?

thanks

I'm also a fan of the silver dialled Globemaster and it's on my list to buy although I have a couple of pieces above it.

If you do a quick search, there are a number of threads on the Globemaster and they generally cover some strap options such as this great review, https://omegaforums.net/threads/an-...mega-globemaster-or-“the-idiot-button”.62685/

I am a new GM owner, I got the blue dial a couple of weeks ago. I had a similar worry about the bracelet not having micro adjustment. I have a 6.5" wrist and got lucky as I managed to get a good fit on the bracelet but it would be great it if had micro adjustment or half links.

I have already ordered a navy blue shell cordovan strap which is inbound. I was really torn between bracelet or strap, but knew I'd regret not getting it on a bracelet should I ever decide to sell (although I don't think I will as this is definitely a keeper).

Some have reported the strap to add a lot of weight to the watch, personally I haven't found that but I did remove a few links due to my skinny wrist.

I will post some pics when my new strap arrives but with so many strap options out there I am glad I went with the GM on the bracelet as straps are way easier to find than the bracelet.

As Capt Cave Man had linked above is a great resource for reading up about the GM. Good luck in your hunt and hopefully soon you'll be joining the GM owners club 👍

The Globemasters bracelet is a tight fit and it would benefit from micro adjustment links, but for me this bracelet is unique and even though its not perfect its worth having as part of a collection.

especially since the purchase price between the strap and the bracelet is minimal. The good news about the silver dial is it'll go with almost any colour/ texture strap its very versatile.

Well, I decided to make the purchase and I must say, I’m loving the GM. It’s not an overly blingy timepiece but I still love how the light hits it on different angles. Also much more sporty in person than how I remember it in the boutique. Definitely a candidate for every day wear.
I was able to get a good fit on the bracelet and will probably be putting it back on once summer hits but for now I’m enjoying this custom made black beaver strap.

Yes it is an Aaron Bespoke

Nice, I considered that color. It looks great.

Original Omega deployant works just fine for me 👍

I love the Globemaster and do lust after one...

I purchased an original Omega stainless bracelet for my Speedmaster Day Date. I've got huge wrists (8.5", but can't remember as last time I measured was 2 years ago and in cm). The bracelet was installed at it's longest setting (no links removed) it fits perfectly. I did have the bracelet fitted in summer, when it was hottest, when I could just get a pinky between bracelet and wrist. In winter (now) it's a bit looser (I can get an index finger between bracelet and skin), but not horribly much so.

So maybe try the Globemast stainless bracelet "as is" ?

Congratulations the GM is a stunner, enjoy it.

I have a 7” wrist and I only removed 1 link. Not sure of options on a 8.5” wrist
