I just inherited this watch and I am trying to find out as much as I can about it. I took it to a Jewelry Appraisal place and they could not find anything. All I got was Case back # 3630085 and Movement # 15826568, Circa 1956. Does this mean anything. I want to know how much to insure this for? What do you think is an appropriate amount?

You can read about the history of the “Globemaster” name here:

This is one of the later Globemasters that were produced after Omega rebranded the original US Globemasters to Constellations.

The movements were at the end of their useful lives to Omega and the cases were all made in the US. They have collector value, but not nearly as much as the original Globemaster/Constellation models.

Hope this helps,

It's a pleasing watch: get it onto a smart leather strap, and I think you'll enjoy wearing it (may need a service first).

I like that watch!
With a little bit of care and a (lizard?) leather-bracelet you will own then a cool dress-watch. 👍 (as already mentioned)

I think that is just what this watch needs. Looking forward to wearing it out.
