IWC Portofino and Portuguese - often times overlooked in favor of the brand’s pilot watches but the sophisticated execution of the chronograph models is exemplary
Yeeeessssss Omega Constellation Globemaster represent!
Owned my blue dial SS on bracelet and official leather strap since 2017, and it will remain with me for the rest of my life.
One of my favourite and super versatile timepiece I own and truly champion it as a wonderful alternative Omega option.
Thank you for covering it in your awesome list!
Lol Teddy loves his Globemaster. I do think it’s one of the coolest Omegas!
The Globemaster is in a class of its own - gorgeous dial, elegant, and with a movement that's superior to what you find in watches costing ten times the price. If I was going to plunk down $7k on a watch, that's by far the most I could get for the money - and it gets admiring looks, as opposed to the eye-rolls that a blingy Rolex inspires.
But most rolexes aren't blingy and most people don't notice them except their owners. I do love that omega Globemaster though 🙂
Agree completely on all your choices Teddy, and a particular mention for the Milgauss and the Globemaster - both watches that have defied their manufacturer's tendencies to over enlarge and over decorate their more popular sports models.
I absolutely love the globe master omega, it's just a beautiful classic and timeless design that wears well on the wrist.
The Omega Globemaster in blue was my first luxury watch that I bought! I got it on the bracelet but I also got the leather strap.
Love the attention its getting. And the thumbnail!! Well deserved 😍
I have the silver/white dial. Really love it. It's a a bit of sleeper but when people notice it they really love it. I wouldn't mind having the blue one as well.
I was just watching your videos Teddy!! Love the globemaster and VC Patrimony!!
Teddy is such a true watch enthusiast and I really love how he’s constantly educating the rest of us in this hobby.
Appreciate it my friend! Feel honored that you all watch!
@@TeddyBaldassarre No pun intended 🙃
Awesome vid! Just picked up another piece after months of watching these and honing my tastes. One suggestion: it would be awesome to tell us what you wear every video. I know myself and others admire your taste above all else!
Love the video. I feel like BALL Watches does not get enough love for the value they offer in the luxury space.
Just want to appreciate the creativity in comng up with yet another way to look st watches. You guys put out multiple videos each week and always find an interesting new way to look at things. Well done. Thank you.
Great selection, these newer Polaris models are amazing. The green dial boutique edition is to die for.
Teddy waste no time; he gets to the point. I so appreciate his knowledge and perspective on fine and not-so-fine watches. He is the man for all seasons of watch ownership.
Those Globemasters are something special, the pie-pan dial is gorgeous. The price of the B01 is steep but aesthetically looking at that chronograph it is a masterpiece.
I am really astounded by the frequency of videos and the content that Teddy churns out. There is a new video every few days, it takes a lot to create such high level content and to top this all of there is a Spanish channel , a reviews channel, and now a fragrance channel (with his fiance) as well. I am guessing at this rate Teddy is in front of the camera 16 hours a day. Great job Teddy but take it easy.
Love the VC traditionnelle. Please keep doing more videos on this topic of unsung hero’s of each brand, teddy 😊
I finally got around to watching Mad Men, and everybody remembers Draper's Reverso or his Explorer but nobody talks about how he wore a JLC Memovox in the first season. The Polaris is a great modern interpretation if you have the wrist for it. I don't, so I'm on the hunt for one of the 36mm Memovox reissues from a few years back.
This is the type of video I am always looking for. I am certainly into luxury watches; however, I like the 'lesser' models of those brands. You hit it out of the park on this one. Thank you.
I have to agree with the Globemaster. This is a classic style watch with a modern movement. I have it in the leather strap and it remains my favourite in the collection. The pie pan dial is just gorgeous. I only recall seeing one in the wild and that's mine, odd as it gets plenty of complements for being elegant but also restrained. All good choices Teddy.
Great content 👍❤️ thank you
I think the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet is extremely underrated. I have the burgundy fume one and the dial is as good as Moser’s.
As for me there’s a whole major brand that is definitely overlooked. It’s Breguet. It has history, unique style and the level of craftsmanship plus attention to details that’s just incredible! Breguet Tradition for example is an exceptional timepiece that’s just pure class while having some fair pricing at the same time
I’m also happy to own Breguet Marine 5817 which is one of the most beautiful and tasteful blend of dress + sporty watch. I’m still wondering why are those watches not having the attention it deserves.
I grew up in a country where "Breguet" is associated with the tippy top of the watch hierarchy. Synonymous with "luxury." Pretty sure Breguet gets plenty of attention in Europe, maybe they just haven't been aggressively marketing as much in other places. If anyone wants to talk about "history" in watchmaking, no conversation is complete without Breguet.
@@JohnDoe-yd7zm Breguet is definitely part of the “top luxury” brands. More for their horological importance than their sales or the number of units sold.
@Ugg Calisthenics coach PhD Bio 🧪 I guess that being boring or not is a subjective thing. As for my taste Datejust or OP is what I would consider a bit boring and too plain in trems of design. But still Breguet's historical value is very decent and it's watchmaking skills are impressive
Agreed. Love my Classique 5277.
Thanks Mr Baldassarre, Im a 54 year old that just started getting interested in watches and I find your videos very useful. thanks
Please review the Christopher ward c65 super compressor. Amazing watch and keen on your take. Thanks for all the vids!
The Omega Constellation, in my opinion, is very overlooked. It's such a beautiful watch, the iconic claws on the bezel are pretty unique and have always drawn my attention. Also the roman numerals on the bezel look fantastic. The Constellation is one of the very few watches I like in two tone to boot!
Hi Teddy, I love your video. You are always bringing some creativity and expertise to help us ;). Please help me understand why you never talk about IWC. I think they are in the luxury segment with some sport models. So why not selecting a pilot watches for this video ?Thanks
Great vid as usual. Pls review the Polaris Chrono if you can. Thanks
Nice video. I also loved the Tudor Heritage Chrono and Breitling Premier. For my own brand and collection, I get that watch fan circle has mixed, if not tilting towards negative, view of TAG Heuer, but one collection that I think people have overlooked (as they favored the Aquaracer, Formula 1, and Chronograph watchs more) is the Link collection. My parents purchased my first expensive watch for me 10 years ago as high school graduation gift, and it was a TAG Heuer Link Dual Time WJF 2116.BA0570. I've been wearing it for a decade (and I still do today) but only until recently did I start to appreciate the price-performance ratio of this watch as I ventured into watch collecting. "Office" GMT, date window, 200m of water resistance with screwed-down crown, 39mm dial, about 12mm thickness, it is a perfect substitution for Rolex Explorer II with extra water resistance as well. Also, Link bracelet was among the top 3 most comfortable and iconic bracelet selections I've ever experienced. Sadly the entire Link collection dappears to be gradually fading away from TAG Heuer's brand image. I wish they could reconsider this decision and revive the collection.
From the brands mentioned, I agree with most of those that was mentioned except for the Omega Globemaster and the Rolex Explorer II. Omega's most underrated watch is the Omega DeVille Tresor. It's Omega's classic-style dress watch. The watch is relatively slim at 10.3mmm for a Coaxial Master Chronometer as it is manual-winding compared to the thicker automatic Coaxial Master Chronometer calibres. The attention is so much on the Speedmasters and Seamasters. A case could even be made for the current Constellation being underrated in Western markets. The Constellation does sell very well in Asian countries. Meanwhile for Rolex, it is the Milgaus that is more underrated than the Explorer II. The Explorer II is fairly popular and sells quite a fair bit. The Cellini is a non-starter since it is underwhelming instead of being underrated.
you're right!👍
would love to see you do a review on the Casio Oceanus line... their finishing is insane for the price, and their movement is as good as quartz movements get.
I have the Milgauss Blue. I love it. Bought when you could walk in and buy a Submariner at an AD. I tried both, I knew the Milguess was less of an invest investment piece. But went with my heart and have no regrets :-)
I have to say you are probably the CZcamsr who influenced me the most. Love most of the models.you mentioned and actually own a few :p
Do videos like this every 12 months. I’m always looking for underrated models from mainstream brands.
Many Thanks Teddy for this high brands yet reasonably priced selection. Please advise if the Omega Globemaster has a signed and screw down crown or not. Furtermore, what is the power reserve time.
In the Tudor line I would definitely include the Style (M12700-0009). Classic all-round watch that looks great with a suit or a t-shirt.
Tudor should give you some free stuff because I literally went out and bought the heritage chrono after watching this. Absolutely amazing channel….keep up the great work and thank you for emptying my pockets.
$35k for that Patek? No wonder it’s so unpopular. You can get a hand guilloché Lange 1 or a stunning Breguet Tradition for that money
And it’s hideous.
Would’ve loved to get Teddy’s take on Grand Seiko…. SBGW231 would be my choice for most overlooked.
Agree the Globemaster deserves a lot more love than it gets. I tried one on in the boutique and came close to buying it. I went for the AT38, though, mainly because I preferred its size. The Globemaster felt a bit more chunky on wrist than I would've liked.
👆👆Thanks for watching and Commenting send a direct message right away we got something special for you
Love this style of video, you could do one looking at a more affordable segment (2-5k) because tbh I'll never have any of these XD
Great picks. In terms of Rolex, I dunno, Explorer II is pretty popular, I mean they all, but sure as you said one model relative to others...I'd have added Grand Seiko and basically anything except the Snowflake.
Just picked up my 16570 from having it completely refurbished at RSC Beverly Hills yesterday. I had forgotten how much I liked it.
Very interesting topic. And great choices - except for the Explorer II Polar. Hardly overlooked. Just go to the grey sites.
My Globemaster is one of my favorites and gets a lot of wear time.
Teddy, can you do this for entry level/mid tier brands
Teddy, just asking. Why don't you do a wrist check? Is it because you don't change watches that often (or for videos) or just something you don't like doing.
Yeah I feel like he's missing an opportunity to sell a pre-owned watch or show off something from his shop in general
Good point! I always wonder what watch he is wearing!
Probably because a “wrist check” is a needless distraction. It doesn’t usually fit in with the purpose/topic of a video.
He sort of did in a way when we took off the Globemaster he was wearing.
He addressed this in another video before. He said he doesn't like wrist check often because what he wears only reflects his taste and shouldn't dictate what his viewers want. I think that's a quite classy thing to do, though I get curious what he wears as well :)
The Breitling Premier B01 is just so damn gorgeous. I am seeing it as the ultimate upgrade of my Hamilton Intra-matic chrono.
That Rose Gold Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 38mm with a black dial is my favorite of all those shown, but a VC that I like as well or maybe even better is the Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix., 40mm with a stainless steel case and blue dial. And it's about the least expensive VC I've seen with an MSRP of $12,500 USD. (Thought I'd love to have that blue dial with a rose gold case.
Thanks for a great as usual video. From my subjective perspective
Rolex: Yatch master 40 is way superior than submariner
VC : 56 date-day- power reserve
JLC : The Dr Strange perpetual calendar
Tudor : Royal 38 mm in blue
Omega : sea master 300 ( The specter type) in titanium
This is a fantastic video Teddy! It's so easy to follow the hyped models with ANY brand. In fact it'd be interesting your take on the same for affordable lux brands. PS: Globemaster is amazing agree with you. Shame (for me) about the pricing positioning. PS1: you never talked about the Constellation line I think... and now we find out you like Constellation?? Tells us more! 😀 ciao
The first Tudor you showed is very cool. Didn't know it existed.
That Breitling chrono is gorgeous. I'd love to pick one up at a discount.
I find it strange that there isn't a GMT version of a watch called the "Globemaster".
Explorer II is my favourite Rolex, but like everything else in stainless steel, it's difficult to obtain from an AD.
Glad to be your Globemaster enabler. Looks great on you.
Hey waiting for your review on tissot seastar 36 mm range
The Milgauss is one that I hadn't considered either but it's a pretty cool watch... nice selection!
Global master is an awesome watch but when I went to a boutique to try out, I don’t get a good service from them thus the experience is really bad on omega impressions.
The Globemaster is right beside the Reverso on my list of grail watches.
never knew about the jlc polaris... excellent choice(s)
How do you compare the zenith defy skyl8ne with the omega globemaster?
Hi, Please can you review and rate a Titan mechanical watch?
Great video as always and an interesting topic.
You didn't mention the Rolex Air-King which proves that it's literally overlooked and the Black Bay P01 from Tudor.
The video was about underrated watches, not overlooked
That Globemaster is awesome! I gotta get one of those.
Would you care to make a video about best lady's watches. I'm thinking of a gift for someone I care about. What are the best options?
The Rolex Air King. I didn't know it existed and it's just delightful, especially the one that looks like a white explorer.
That’s the one he should have picked if he was going to pick any R. Any R with numbers on the bezel are gone, sitting gathering dust on the grey sites at joke prices. At 1 pt the were 36! pages of Exp II on chrono24.
I think the reason why these get overlooked is because most people don't have an unlimited budget to spend on watches... so if you're only going to buy 1 Omega, it's likely going to be the Speedmaster or Seamaster. You're likely going to be getting the Navitimer from Breitling or the Reverso from JLC. Unless you REALLY love a particular brand, you're not likely going to buy their 3rd or 4th most popular model
Tudor got it right with the Heritage Chrono. The snowflake hour hand on the BB Chrono really impairs the utility of the sub-dials. Maybe the HC could have gotten a "face lift," but they never should have used the snowflake hour hand with that platform.
Is there a screw down crown on the globemaster?
I really like the Green Dials,I would say that instead of a Pistacchio like color,it was a tone of green similar to the IWC Portugisier,it would be sensational,in my opinion....as the IWC Green dial portugisier is one of my favourite,maybe not underrated but worth a mention...
At what price do we buckle at pulling the trigger on a Hublot? Are they not out of trend atm.
Love the Premier but the price is stopping me from getting one. The Globemaster is stunning in leather straps too.
Teddy do thinner chronos 41mm and under!!
It seems to me that IWC Portofinos are wonderful underrated watches. What's your opinion on them?
nice one james. hit it home
I may need to add a globemaster to my collection. The tungsten bezel will match my tungsten rings.
I think the JLC Master Control Moon Phase is even more over looked than the Polaris. (I don't understand why so many CZcamsrs are obsessed with the Riverso.). It's a beautiful watch, and I wear it with anything from black tie to casual.
Is this an old video? I own the Pistachio Breitling and it was released in 2020 and Teddy said it was “just unveiled”
That Polaris in terms of design language looks like a random Fossil. Loving the Globemaster.
the vacheron!
Another list of grail quality watches!
Grand Seiko quartz 😁
Just ordered one. I hope it is as good as owners say it is. 🥰
Funny you say Milgauss and Explorer II for Rolex. Those are my favorite Rolex and I got them both (the z-blue Milgauss and Polar Exp II) from the same AD last year . Right now the Polar Exp II is my favorite overall watch that sits in my collection and the z-blue Milgauss is the first Rolex I actually wanted and pursued.
Is there an overlooked diver other than the Pelagos?
any pm pieces from Blancpain's villeret line
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Hmmm in my city the wishlist for the Explorer II is closed. Meaning you can’t put your name down for one at all….
I think Omega Globemaster is very nice. However, for its $7k price tag, I will get the Oris Pro Pilot, Breitling Superocean, or the Longines Ultra-Chron.
The Breitling Premier is a stunner!!!!
Check out Hamilton intramatic automatic it looks very similar at a fraction of the cost. Beautiful watches both.
wow that Turdor chrono heritage actually looks good. Damn the AD rang me today and offered me a Daytona. What to do?
I am itiching to buy a watch, which one...so difficult.
The Tudor Heritage Chrono is the most underrated of all the Tudor catalogue! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Explorer II is a great everyday watch.
I love JLC, but the Polaris just doesn't do it for me. If I ever get a JLC, I'd still go for one of the Master Ultra Thin models.
The moon phase with the blue dial is fire
Cheers to loving the Explorer II in white. I know it’s cool to hate Rolex now, but if the prices ever corrected and I had the money, then an Explorer II would be a definite grail for me.
Let's go with the underrated
Thanks for another great video Teddy. I've been considering getting a Globemaster for a while now for my first daily wear luxury piece. I've heard you say it skews dressier than say the Aqua Terra (another watch I was considering). My concern is the amount of polishing on the AT. The GM with its brushing to me comes across as the more subtle of the two. Do you agree? Any concerns with the GM being worn casually and in office casual environments?
Been wearing mine since 2017 (blue dial SS, bracelet and official leather strap), and it is super versatile for casual, office, and dressy occasions!
The proportions are excellent, the bezel looks factory fresh (due to being made from tungsten carbide), the brushed areas are clean, and the polished edges add a bit of understated luxury that elevates the piece without it being showy.
The readability is amazing, especially due to the pie-pan dial giving a subconscious speed of reading time, and I really like the symmetry of the dial with the date window at six o'clock.
Probably my favourite mechanical feature is the wondering instantaneous jumping-hour setting hand. Instead of instantaneous jumping-date complication, when you pull the crown into the second position and whilst the watch is ticking you can adjust the hour hand back and forth in hourly jumps. Twenty four jumps will also change the date, which may seem slow but now I have a watch that is super fast to adjust during British Summer Time or going abroad (to know the local time), and changing date is relatively easy and fast, just not instant.
Of course, pulling the crown out into the third position will hack the movement and stop the seconds hand, to set against a reference time.
The caseback with the inset Observatory medallion into the sapphire glass is just amazing. The stars recall the Omega Chronometery wins of yore, but also represent the current eight METAS steps each COSC Master Chronometer timepiece must pass.
Let's not forget that this watch has a Daniels invented, and industrially refined by Omega, Co-Axial escapement, just to add more horological nuance.
Also own a Tudor North Flag as a change of pace piece, and if I ever do DIY too.
Complements my Globemaster and both are part of my current three-watch collection (third is a white Casio G-Shock).
My watches are all non-mainstream, very interesting, and uncommon to see on other people's wrist, making it very special to me.
I also love other unique Omega pieces that have come out too, such as the Seamaster 1948 central and sub-second pieces, and the new Omega Numbered Edition Specialities CK 859!
Hope this helps 😊
@@TheOneInYellow thanks for the update!
I wish you did AP unless I missed it
Love that Polaris
I own a Omega Globemaster blue dial and I hope it will stay a sleeper!!!!
I saw the blue dial globemaster in a boutique and it blue me away
Jeez might just be me, but I can think of hundreds of watches I'd rather spend 34K on then that Patek. I reckon there's a good reason it's not popular. The VC pick is spot on though, absolutely my favourite VC and probably my favourite Swiss dress watch.
