Two watch brands: one is founded half a century before the other, repeatedly obliterates accuracy competitions with clean sweeps and unbroken records, is selected by numerous global institutions to provide timekeeping-and the other is Rolex. With the five-pointed crown’s domination in this present era of watchmaking, it’s hard to believe that Rolex is, really, the new kid in town. Is it starting to show?

I think the Globemaster is so criminally underrated in Omega's current lineup. It hardly gets mentioned and it's one of the nicest watches they make - discreet, loaded with heritage, and is a kind of "back to basics" watch from Omega.

@frodclairvoyantclip 6 лет назад

Omega Globemaster is one of the most beautiful watches of all time!

@WatchGeek 6 лет назад

A wonderful video as usual, and that Globemaster is, to me at least, a true competition for the Datejust, and although the Rolex will remain King in most people's eyes, I would choose the Omega in this case

@JohnDoe-bm5lp 6 лет назад

Same, I just love Omegas

@TheOwlGuy777 6 лет назад

Rolex never went to the moon.

@ZCT808 6 лет назад

Actually there is compelling evidence that they did. Several astronauts on the Apollo missions wore Rolex watches. Go look it up. In any case, that's your yard stick? Rolls Royce never launched a car into space, but I think they make a decent car. Patek and AP have never been on the moon, last I checked they know how to put a watch together.

@rjy8960 6 лет назад

I don't have a problem with Rolex apart from the image; it's just not me. They do make truly beautiful watches, but one wouldn't feel right on my wrist. I like Omega because they seem to me to be more subtle. However I am starting to covet the Tudor Black Bay :)

@blackfurrymonkey 6 лет назад

Watch Geek yes Rolex is king

@canalwest 6 лет назад

Excellent comparison. And though i'm a big fan of the Rolex Datejust 41mm, Omega makes the kill with the Globemaster. Omega wins here in many respects.

@GWOSAPAT 6 лет назад

@bannedaccount3752 6 лет назад

But it will can't stop being a knockoff of the Datejust.

@bannedaccount3752 6 лет назад

Ok mr. Nobody.

@kuddin9021 6 лет назад

Well that escalated quickly

@ernestokling 6 лет назад

Nadie I’m afraid there’s some measure of truth to the knockoff comment. The original Globemaster from the 50s looked nothing like this, and the model ‘66 on which this 2015 re-release is based had a completely different case and fluted bezel. The model at hand simply reflects earlier Datejust models. And you will never be able to avoid comments like “is that a Rolex?”

I have the blue one too. Got it a year ago and it still feels impressive. The tungsten carbide bezel is smooth to touch and the blue is just lively! Rolex looks like a faux-antique.

BOTH for the win ^_~

@Jee_oon 4 года назад

And a Tungsten Bezel

@ryanfiser1571 5 месяцев назад

That was my first “real” watch. It’s just stunning. I don’t think I’ll ever part with it.

@Haske0 6 лет назад

Personally I like the Omega's design more. It's clean and subtle unlike the Rolex with the oversized markers. And the value proposition is just too good! For the price of that Rolex I picked up the anual calendar version of the Globemaster and I must say, the bigger face makes the watch even better looking!

@johnharris7319 6 лет назад

Just love that Omega.

@anoopphilips115 5 лет назад

I own both omega and rolex date just. Omega is really having a robust and beautiful movement especially the coaxial master chronometer movements excel. Also Omega has a superior build quality.

@ianwoollard2063 6 лет назад

Omega are definitely worth considering and in many ways represent excellent value for money. I’m planning on making the Planet Ocean 8900 my next watch. There are also major problems in terms of actually being able to buy certain watches from the Rolex sports range which frustrate me. No wait lists or over inflated prices for an Omega.

@TheOwlGuy777 6 лет назад

The Omega is a much better value than the Rolex at initial purchase, but the Rolex holds its value better. However if you are in the market for a pre-owned watch, NOTHING beats the Omega.

@Laennec568 6 лет назад

Your watch channel is wonderful!

@vadimdon 6 лет назад

Beautiful watches and as usual amazing review. I would choose the datejust hands down. For some other people the omega might be a better choice

@WrongTimeWatch 6 лет назад

Another great video. I would love to hear your thoughts on Stowa watches.

@rbhis000 6 лет назад

I have a Stowa Flieger with the ETA 2824-2 Top movement that I love very much. The finish is flawless and the flame blued hands are simply brilliant when they grab the light. It's been running an average of +0.6 seconds/day for months by leaving it crown-up over night. I know that doesn't make it a chronometer, but I'll take it for the fair price.

@davidfitzgerald383 Год назад

I am fortunate enough to own a 300m Seamaster Seaweed, A new Sapphire Speedmaster and a Globemaster 2020 on the bracelet. Of the 3 the Globemaster is king - so comfortable, so cool and so underrated.

@ryanfiser1571 5 месяцев назад

I have the blue Globemaster and the Speedy sapphire sandwich and love them both. Difficult to pick which one to wear.

@esperoutdoors9421 6 лет назад

@WatchAddictionReviews 6 лет назад

A great video as usual, the rolex datejust modern iterations are a bit superior in my eyes due to market value, and a general better fit and finish over Omega, id still choose the Rolex and I own both rolexes and omegas, i still pick modern rolex over modern omega, just my 2 cents, you should do an AP vs Patek video

@A.K.allday 6 лет назад

At 4:14 you can see imperfections on the interior edge of the bezel. In the opinion of Watchfinder and Co. are these imperfections due to wear and tear or are they manufacturing flaws? Thanks so much for any input! Love your videos!

@joelh8141 6 лет назад

I love the style, pace and delivery of these videos. They make a very simple video into something very watchable and full of good copy and the usual excellent voice-over. For me if I had a gun at my head and had to choose one of these it would be the Rolex all day long.

@jordanalnadi8370 5 лет назад

I'm looking to buy this exact Omega Globemaster. Although I have been looking at Rolex but finally decided on the Globemaster for 3 reasons: 1. I'm not a millionaire but indeed I can afford both but if I would to wear the Rolex many people will simply jump to the fake Rolex judgement. Howevere, with the Globemaster, you can't be mistaken (not with a top notch alligator leather band) which non of the fakes has. 2. It's not important to me the resale value as I don't ever think of selling my watches and may God well I will never have to. 3. Rolex is indeed make their own in-house movements, however, the finish is no different than Seiko or Tag. That's why you never see a Rolex with Crystal back. If you common customers saw the movement finish, it's game over for their marketing gimmick.

@manuel_winde 4 года назад

Rolex movements are better than Seiko and tag, the movement finish is not really an issue because they’re not highly decorated dress watches or complications. Who wants to see a 4r15 or a selitta sw200 through a case back? MYbe someone new to watches but for most of us we would prefer a top quality reliable movement like those in Rolexes, over off the shelf Sellita or seikos with poor accuracy (and a missaligned bezel and regain to boot). I’ve owned pretty much every Seiko from an skx009 and Seiko 5 field watch to a grand Seiko and modern Rolex is just better. Seiko is great but putting a display back on a pedestrian movement doesn’t make them better than Rolex.

The Datejust looks stunning. Love the way Rolex does a fluted bezel. But I prefer the slimmed down hour markers of the new DJ 41.

@scottfrench6128 Год назад

I chose the DJ36 blue dial over the Aqua Terra and Globe Master due to fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet and clasp. I likely will add an Aqua Terra in green dial.

@pratikpakrashi5171 6 лет назад

My take=Omega>Rolex. Top notch video as always !! :)

@paulstanley8088 4 года назад

Another great video! Thanks for posting. I wanted to like the Omega, but overall it left me flat. At 4:14 that Rolex bezel between 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock has some imperfections that appear unrelated to wear to me. Omega really only wants $100 additional for the steel bracelet for this watch? That seems about $900+ less than expected. I bet they won't sell one at the boutique for that price!

@lafireteamplx3400 2 года назад

Uhhh it is on the exterior of the watch, how do you think it is not related to wearing it

@dillcifer 5 лет назад

I was seriously considering a datejust 41, but now I’m seriously considering a globemaster. Actually, I recently went to a local retailer that carries both of these brands. The old sales guy didn’t even know what the globemaster was! Of course he was more than familiar with the datejust. 🤦🏻‍♀️ He just wanted to talk about Rolex and Patek.

@TimedSquare 6 лет назад

If would choose between the two, well... I wouldn't pick any. The Datejust is too big for my wrist and the hour markers are huge. The Globemaster kinda “apologizes” for being there with such delicate bezel and hands (and as such, is not a true competitor to the DJ2 for me). Now, I love the clean, simple style of these dials and waches. But I would just go for a 36mm Datejust or Oyster Perpetual. From a stylistic point of view, they beat the Datejust and Globemaster in this video. At least, for now :)

@a1dookie 5 лет назад

@Mint-cb2vc 5 лет назад

Once you guys buy Globemaster, you can dump your OPs

@calvinthomas3543 6 лет назад

Its all in the messaging - Its not enough to just create a great watch, you also need to be able to sell the idea to buyers. And Rolex takes the crown in that respect. Rolex has always had a uniform messaging about its simple watches. Omega on the other hand keeps changing its messaging and designs too frequently...One exception is the Moonwatch with a largely unchanged design and messaging, which is why it is such a bestseller.

@blahblahblah610 5 лет назад

The Datejust41 made me realise just how large the hour makers are on the DJ2. Too big in hindsight, for me.

@danijayyy1 5 лет назад

yogogorillamix Same here. I didn’t realize it either until the 41 hit the market.

@ryanyu102 Год назад

I would get the Datejust mostly due to the overall aesthetic. I really find use and love the cyclops to let it go on watches that don't have it.

@canonyeo4286 5 лет назад

I love fluted bezel. I have one that is built and preserved inside the glass case. It's zaratsu polished, and, so are the hands and indices. They still glitters after more than 50 years. It's the 37.5mm 7619 7060 Sportsmatic. I also have the 7619 9060 which has lume hands and indices like the omega and rolex, only that, again, they are zaratsu polished. And, yes, they are Seiko 5, but, very high class ones. I bought them for less than $200 a piece in excellent condition. You don't have to pay a lot of money for a nice watch.

@ZeroGorDIE 5 лет назад

I have a Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date and it's really nice for 600$. However, I need a new grail watch cause I love the non-abreviated Day/Date. Its a shame Rolex only has their Day-Date in precious metals for $30k+.

@johndoe-ln4oi 6 лет назад

I would put the Omega Aqua Terra as more of a direct competitor to the Datejust. The Globemaster is a little dressier. In fact, when I bought my Aqua Terra, it was between the AT and the Datejust. Both are great watches, but I prefer the look of the AT, and the >15,000 gauss technology. Like others here, I also like the more subtle profile of Omega brand.
