Available in a wide range of materials including 18K Sedna™ gold, 18K yellow gold and stainless steel, the Globemaster will forever be recognised as the first Master Chronometer.
The 39 mm timepiece features the iconic pie-pan dial made famous by the Constellation models in 1952. A sun-brushed blue dial graces the full stainless steel and bi-metallic models which are available with a bracelet or a blue leather strap. Silvery opaline dials are found on the 18K Sedna™ gold, 18K yellow gold, stainless steel and stainless steel and 18K yellow gold versions. The silvery opaline dial on the full stainless steel model is complemented by a grey leather strap. The indexes and familiar Constellation star are applied to the dial and fashioned from 18K Sedna™ gold or 18K yellow gold, or are rhodium-plated or blackened depending on the case material and dial colour.
The central hour, minute and seconds hands match the indexes, all of which are coated in Super-LumiNova – as are the hour and minutes hands. There is also a date indication at 6 o’clock on the dial.
Surrounding the dial is a fluted bezel whose top ridges are smoothed, giving the Globemaster a unique look (
) that ensures it will remain immediately identifiable for generations to come. The bezel on the stainless steel models are made of a hard metal (tungsten carbide).
The case is brushed and has two polished bevels that connect the edges of the lugs to the bezel. These polished bevels are also found on the three-row metallic bracelet which is completely brushed except for its understated polished edges. The central links are slightly curved, enhancing the watch’s sophisticated appearance.
Protecting the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8900/8901 powering the timepiece is a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an outstanding decorative feature. A medallion made of the same material as the casebody has been set into the glass before the glass is fastened to the caseback with four screws. The medallion is stamped with an image of an observatory surrounded by a polished sky marked with eight symbolic stars. The medallion does not completely cover the rotor and movement so the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8900 – for stainless steel and steel-gold models – or OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8901 – for the gold versions – is visible. The OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8901 features an 18K Sedna™ gold rotor. The reliability and precision of both anti-magnetic mechanical movements is such that the Globemaster is offered with a full four-year warranty. It is water resistant to 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet).
