Today we have RAINY CHRISTIAN dripping with facts about the Omega Constellation Globemaster Annual Calendar. I know that's a very long name for a watch and I was going to just put the reference in instead but THAT even is 130.33.39.21.03.001...so there really is no way to shorten it, it looks like an IP address. All in all though this hidden gem is right up there with the notorious Seamaster and Speedmaster in Omega's line up. Why is it an insane value prop? What is an annual calendar vs. a perpetual calendar? Watch the video!

Well done. Glad you have come to your senses on the Globemaster.
Tungsten Carbide is one of the hardest materials ever, it's parallel with diamonds and used in high tech cutting tools.
In your video four years ago, you weren’t fond of this exact watch. I’m glad that you like it now.
No doubt having one to sell helped shift the rhetoric a little?
When this version of the watch first came out I wasn’t too much of a fan and ignored it. But I saw one in person and read about it and now i love it! Grrat watch and I hope to get one eventually
And the fact that Omega had a fluted bezel before rolex.
The Datejust looks so much better than this watch though.
That's a matter of opinion.
I think the Globemaster looks so much better than the datejust.
@@Sandouras haha DJ boring
I own the Globemaster with the blue dial and 18k rose gold bezel and crown, and I absolutely love it as a dressy casual or office watch. I also own a DJ41, and yes they are different. The DJ is a sporty/dressy all-a rounder while the Globemaster has a different vibe. It’s a nice add to the collection, but not the only dress watch you’ll need.
Very nice Omega! Thanks for the information on this watch Theo.
I love all of Theo & Harris video, maybe one day I too can make a purchase from your watch shop.
I personally don't love the Globemaster, but the constellation line has always had some amazing pieces which I would love to buy regardless of my opinion you can't deny the amazing value that omega provides to their buyers.
Hey Theo and Harris team, would love to see a video about the history of the most popular bezels and when they were introduced, such as gmt, fluted, engine turned and tachometer etc.
Rado makes tungsten carbide watches in their diastar original line. They were the first to come up with it.
Proud owner of one in silver
You beat me to it, love my two-tone!
True ..Rado, master of materials.
I always loved this but wasn't sure about the text being busy... I didn't notice too much on your wrist so I think I'm sold now!
Your vids are looking top notch..Keep it up
Omega was using fluted bezels back in the 1930s on their pilot watches, which predates Rolex's fluted bezel's.
If only every internet Rolex owners does their homework…
@@hathaway.1166 Agreed.
Question about dress watches I've been looking to get my first one soon but I have a question about the finish on the cases of the watch, should a dress watch be shiny or matte?
Love the "spending way too much time on playgrounds" swagger!
Most under-rated comment right here! lol
Are you saying he looks lika a kid or a dad?
Omega has been making great watches like lots of companies for years. It's just the Rolex 🐑 that don't notice. Beautiful watch. Just bought a fun Tungsten Carbide right. Had as hell and nice warm color. Goes well with my Pelagous.
Rado has used Tungsten Carbide for its cases and bracelets since the 70's I think, but not for their dials. I have a vintage Seamaster Chronometer from the late 60's, early 70's that has a very similar dial color which is called pewter gray dial. Greetings Christian Ceron, I admire your passion for beautiful watches and your good taste!
Nice video, T&H, thanks
Love the Barbour but that Globemaster is spectacular, I'd love it if you guys took a deep dive into the Planet Ocean line.
I have tried these models at the omega boutique. Unfortunately the watch doesn’t sit well on my wrist but I genuinely consider this series amazing. Great built quality, aesthetics, price, almost perfection!
you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Sean Peter Instablaster :)
@Mason Rhys thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Mason Rhys It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Sean Peter Happy to help :)
$8600: I should grab a dozen before they run out of stock.
Compare the price to a Patek Philippe Annual Calendar to see the value.
@@markn3586 Or compare it to some japanese brand like Orient, THAT is value. Swiss watches are overpriced as hell and prey on the "desirability" and brand name. Specially Rolex
I like this one a lot. I wish they'd include the day as well. I know, it would ruin the dial, but I like triple dates, as I often forget what day it is. I never forget the month, but it is nice to have.
Very interesting tidbit regarding calendar complication.
Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sure that Tungsten has the same molecular mass as gold. So you get the same added weight from the bezel. And that bezel execution plays with light just like white gold. Really ingenious use of materials. Overall, Omega did really well with the Globemaster line.
Yeah, Tungsten Carbide has a density of 15.6g/cm3, pure Gold, 19.3g/cm3, 18k Gold, about 15.4g/cm3. Tungsten Carbide is extremely durable, used for drill-bits and other tools. due to its hardness. It's not easy to work with, needing diamond-based abrasives to shape and polish it.
Great show, thanks!
Excellent presentation of a fine watch.
More interested in the hat! Haha. Where’d you get it? Love Cutty Sark! Father always had a bottle behind the bar and now I do too!
I absolutely love this piece however I’ve never considered it a competitor to the Datejust. The Datejust is an all around watch that can be worn to business and I think that either Omega’s Hour Vision or Deville Coaxial fit that bill well. I consider the Globemaster a leisure time watch that you put on when you get home from work and decompress. I see it as a watch to be worn to dinner, a cocktail party or even on your back porch or while sitting in your backyard in a gazebo while wearing a pair of chinos and a plaid sport shirt. That might just be me. I’m not a one watch guy but a watch wardrobe guy who wears a watch for whatever I’m wearing.
I was trying to think how I would wear this watch. Certainly not as an everyday watch or even put it in my rotation. You got it exactly right. Most people aren’t going to spend 9 grand though for such limited use.(I live in a high tax state)
I wear my Globemaster to breakfast, lunch, dinner, vacation and metal concerts.
Beautiful watch!! The more I see and learn of Omega, the more I love the brand.
You have to be British royalty to not know what month it is. I wish I needed that complication. My favorite line from Downton Abbey was from the dowager lady Grantham “what’s a weekend?” Nice video, thanks.
The point of it is not so much to tell you the month but to change the date correctly without intervention.
@@jamessymington2466 I agree, but that will get old very fast.
@@rickjason215 Sure but that is the nature of all these calendar complications. Plenty of really expensive watches will tell you which year you are in :-) Whether you need them is highly moot but is it a cool horological complication? I think so.
@@jamessymington2466 I agree, but do you want those complications? A Tourbillon is useless but nice to look at. This changes once a month.
@@rickjason215 Hardly a necessity of course. But the entirety of this watch thing can be classed as that. :-)
Nice Barbour coat, buddy! I’m oddly wearing the same some one I’ve had for five years. They’ll last a long time like a great watch!
Wow! You did a review on a watch i own!!! I saw it at an AD, bought it! I liked the unique dial, blue hands, and blue accents! Somewhat disappointing that it is not very popular, and sells at a discount on pre-owned market. Dressy, sporty looking on the wrist!
Great watch from one of my favourite brands, it's just that I'm not sold on the looks.
first, love the channel keep it coming
Boom watchfam. Best part of my day
Done amd done..also love that aqua terra in the shop
I got the grey dial and sedna bezel one today....I'm in love :)
That's the one I have. Amazing dial.
TUNGSTEN.... I beleive the smooth bezel on the Breitling chronomat 38 is tungsten....maybe on some other chronomats as well? Not sure
I thought you said that annual calendars also tracked the day of the week? Am I missing something?
Oris has used a tungsten bezel on a few Aquis models.
Hey guys. I dont know if someone already mentioned it.. but Breitling used tungsten carbide in one of their watches - galactic something- ... thanks for the video.. great watch
Let alone the Tag, you are wearing a raincoat and a hat in the studio man!! Is it raining ?
Love this line, way underrated IMO
My favourite Omega, on my list.👍
nice watch i love it.... cheers
My Rado Diastar is tungsten carbide.
Cool range really underrated INO
Tungsten bezel on the Breitling Galactic world time....another great value watch
As far as tungsten carbide, I have a Movado Dura made of it. Movado has another watch as well.
Regarding tungsten carbide, have you ever heard of RADO Diastar?!!!
The vintage Heuer Autavia he’s wearing is sublime, they look so cool, robust and genuinely functional to meet the demands in the golden age of motorsports
Oris has an Aquis with a tungsten bezel
Nothing like a Datejust bezel! Much more like a coin edge bezel because the divisions are much closer together. Another difference is that the Omega bezels are not as steep as a Rolex bezel. Finally, Omega has been using a fluted bezel for as long, if not longer than Rolex. These are common misconceptions held by a lot of people. The use of tungsten carbide as a material for the bezel will resist dings and scratches much better than your typical Rolex bezel also.
Sir, I have no idea what is with watch brands producing larger case size. The maximum my wrist can wear gracefully is 40mm. Ideally, 39mm like the BB58 is such legendary size for today but even 37 like the Calatrava is just perfect. Less is more in a long run. Much like my diet 🤪 Less calories the better.
You said this was an ugly watch 4years ago, have your recent collaborations with Omega changed your perspective?
I think many enthusiasts change their opinions on different models over the years, it's normal. I'd give him the benefit of doubt. He's sold watches before that he admitted are not exactly his taste.
Picked up one of these in the sale last week at my Omega boutique for £3995 or around $5100, beautiful watch!
Can't have been at an Omega shop, was it?
@@peterleggatt3642 the ernest jones Omega boutique in Birmingham
Nice Barbour coat Christian
I wish they made a fitted bracelet for this thing. Datejust killer for us guys with larger wrists. I still might buy one though.
Christian's tribute to Elmer Fudd? 😄
Rado Diastar they were first to use Tunsten. They have case built of Tunsten. They call it the Hardmetal. Rado still makes Diastar.
It’s a pity I find it wears too big because of the bezel too thin.
Awesome watches.
Pretty. I love it.
I wish they had this in balck.
Tungsten carbide - great material, won't scratch
I love mine and I got a €1750 discount from the AD in Frankfurt. Fantastic. I happy.
The cutty hat is legit
This is off the charts...
The Globemaster IS part of the Constellation line.
I’m a huge fan of the Globemaster. It’s the perfect answer to the Day-Date.
I almost managed to convince my father to get a rose-gold globemaster. Such a shame he changed his mind in the last minute.
So I have a quest to buy this as my first luxury watch “brand-new” when I can afford it. Call it my personal vendetta
I always tell people getting into this expensive hobby who are looking for their first luxury watch to get a Rolex. If you get it at retail, you will always be able to get your money back.
That's a safe strategy!
@@rickjason215 unless basic rolex ref. like subs and dates go back to 7 grand new and 5 used like they TRULLY WORTH everywhere....rolex is a dead brand for a lot of people who are not ships
if you gonna buy a globe master you gonna buy a white dial tungsten one.....like....we dont even gotta look elsewhere....
@@davideojockey6237 I don't pay over retail. Nobody should. You only hurt yourself and every other watch person. A watch is worth what people will pay. Rolex and Omega are about equal. A 5 year old Rolex, might be worth twice what you paid for it. A 5 year old Omega is reduced substantially. It makes no sense, but that's what it is.
Check out omega speedy date 3211.31. just got it for 3k AUD$ and it's a low key stunner fit for every wrist with some Paul Newman Daytona vibe
Oniss from paris uses alot of tungsten in the making of their watches
Love your videos but I'm confused with this video, you did a review on this watch 5 years back and you hated this watch! What change from being a gangster tattoo watch to another beautiful omega watch?
Omega overall is undervalued.
I’m sold😍
My favourite Omega
tungsten carbide... think was first on RADO Diastar Classic..
Movado has used Tungsten Carbide
You said you know they day.. how it’s only date and month.
thoughts on the new snoopy speed master??
Where is Anna?? 😞
Am I the only one that just wanted to know where I can get one of those corduroy hats the whole time? 😂
😘🇮🇶
Your Beaufort (Bedale?) is way to new. New money riechs.
I think this is the one 😩
You look like my uncle in that cap.
For me personally, for that kind of money OMEGATRÉSOR CO‑AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER 40mm is a stunner (in fact even 2k cheaper than this). It's IMHO more watch for the money and looks better with that one of a kind blue dial...
Consumers won’t even notice it because it will get lost in the one billion different models Omega spits out every year...
That’s why Omega, which I think everyone agrees is a great watch is available heavily discounted on the Grey Market. They dilute their brand to the point it is hard to know what they are selling.
@@rickjason215 Exactly.
@@rickjason215 Omega watches are actually heavily discounted by their own ADs. My last 2 Omega purchases from the AD were discounted 15% and 18% respectively. Who needs to go to the grey market...
Seems like it should have the day as well...
The Globemaster line, to my taste are much better looking watches relative to the few Datejust I’ve seen, not even close.
Signed up, but is a waste of time. I never win anything. 😪
$8,600? I could get 150 Vostok Amphibias for that kind of money!
Nice hat nerd
Omega 🇨🇭🌍🇮🇶💪🙂👍روووووووووووعة
accuracy is less than Rolex (+-2)vs (5+-),just my cents
RADO has been using Tungsten Carbide since 1962 (59 years ago) in their Diastar 1 watches. Very iconic and interesting design.
Where is the day complication to make this an annual calendar?
Day of the month at 6 o'clock, no need for day of the week to make it an annual calendar.
Yo or da best
love the look of the watch, but the dimensions are a bit much.
Christian realizes that most people need a dress watch and not a sport watch ...
Is there a more useless complication than an annual calendar. It’s a nice watch, but there are many great watches at that price point. I would rather have a Datejust. At least the value wouldn’t drop by 3 grand upon opening the box.
