·Just arrived today. Blue dial Globemaster in stainless steel. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s exquisite. Haven’t even removed the stickers yet. Ah, that new watch smell ...
I’m in love ...

·Definitely on my list of future watches. I love a blue dial and I love a pie pan. To have both in one watch would be lovely.

Thanks. It actually wears larger than you would think given the 39 mm case. The long lugs and the narrow bezel accentuate the size of the dial. A bit of an optical illusion, but it fits very nicely on my 7.25” wrist.

·The protective film is off and it’s now part of the stable. It’s the epitome of understated elegance and Toolwatch tells me it’s running at +.5 spd. Definitely one of Omega’s most underrated offerings.

·Lovely watch and hugely underrated when compared to its Speedmaster and Seamaster siblings. Wear in good health.

·Honest question: What is with the name "Globemaster" on this watch? It seems to me a real "Globemaster" would be a GMT or otherwise multi-time-zone watch, no? A Speedmaster times events with a chrono, makes sense. A Seamaster has a dive bezel and strong water resistance, makes sense. A Railmaster is anti-magnetic, makes sense. But what does a Globemaster do in relation to its name? Maybe it's like a movie bad guy seeking to control the world? This has been bugging me for a while now LOL

·The watch does have a quickset hour feature which makes it very easy to change the time between time zones without having to move the minute hand.

·True but so do several other Omega offerings, including some Speedmasters. Anyway, I guess I'm being pedantic but the question just amuses me. I think it's a legit point LOL
I see your point and don’t disagree. That being said, this watch is simply gorgeous and the quality is unreal. And this comes from a guy who owns and loves his Speedy Pro and SMPc.

·Congrats on the new Globemaster. A real beauty and, I think, a future classic.
A great example of design, technology, and construction coming together extremely well. Among other attributes.......I love the case shape, the mostly brushed surfaces, the tasteful polished case shoulders, and of course the tungsten (or tungsten alloy) bezel.
I’ve been considering one my self - and trying to decide between the blue and white dials. I’m leaning towards the white, but have only seen the blue in person. However, my AT2500 with heat-blued hands/indicies has a silver/white dial, so a blue dial Globemaster might be a nice contract.
Do you happen to know any details on the material used for the hands and indicies? For example, rhodium plated, galvanized, polished white gold, etc?
I’ve heard some say that the bezel too closely resembles, or is trying to look like, the Date Just fluted bezel. I don’t agree based on both appearance (“frosted” tungsten Globemaster vs polished DJ bezel), and good design and engineering: The Globemaster’s bezel is a very hard and tough material purposefully chosen to resist scratches and impact, which one cannot IMO say for the DJ fluted bezel.
My only quibble personally, is it would have been nice to have a screwed down crown.

Thanks for your kind words. Although I’m hardly objective, I too agree that the Globemaster could well become a future classic. Some of its unique features include the pie pan dial, tungsten carbide microfluted bezel (which bears little resemblance to the fluted bezel on some Rolex models), the observatory medallion set into the sapphire case back (photo below) and the METAS certified caliber 8900 automatic movement. My understanding is that the hands and the Constellation star are rhodium plated and the indices and applied Omega logo are polished white gold. I agree that a screw down crown would have been a nice addition. Other than that, it’s just about perfect!
