    Lotsa pictures! It's like the JCPenney Christmas catalog, but for Omega collectors.

    Another masterpiece from Omega and a tremendously great reference book, which all enthusiasts and experts should look into owning one.

    The photography is excellent and the information is great. Unfortunately, not all the rare or uncommon examples can found in this 'bible' from Omega.

    Thank-you.

    Totally need to get that one day, if someone dog-eared a page they'd lose a finger though...

    Unfortunately it has also some mistakes like the description of the Cal. 503 as the first Calendar Automatic with quickdate setting - actually it was Cal. 502.
    But besides the minor flaws its a very good book for reference.

    Agreed, certainly not perfect but by far the best compilation of information on vintage omegas (and a pictorial tour-de-force) in one book. Absolutely nothing even comes close.

    Can someone who owns this can and upload the Globemasters page? If it doesn't infringe on any copyright that is!

    Desmond's article on globemasters is more informative.
