Arrival of the Omega Globemaster

     In the hearts of many watch enthusiasts, the “ fluted bezel ” is a remarkably striking aesthetic decoration, and it is not exclusive to any single watch brand. Looking back at the history of watchmaking, fluted bezels first appeared on bezels to make it easier for watchmakers or repairers to open early waterproof cases from the front of the watch. With advances in watchmaking technology, fluted bezels gradually evolved into decorative features and even the most famous signature look of a particular brand.

 

 

       Therefore, when this latest Omega timepiece named the “ Globemaster ” was released, the followers of the crowd and the superficial critics muttered the word “ "like" ” with malicious intent, little knowing that who resembles whom has not even been figured out yet.

 

 

        1952 saw the sensational launch of the Omega Constellation collection, and to this day it remains one of the world's most famous watch lines. The first-generation Constellation watches are nicknamed by collectors as: “ curved lugs, pie-pan dial, dagger markers ”, and I will briefly explain this jargon: “ curved lugs ” — — curved watch lugs, “ pie-pan dial ” — — officially referred to as “ pie-pan ” inverted flat-bottomed pan-shaped dial, “ dagger markers ” — — paper aeroplane-shaped hour markers. To add another note: the first-generation Constellation is a collector's masterpiece. Sixteen years after the birth of the Constellation collection, 1968 saw the appearance of the Omega Constellation with a fluted bezel decoration, making the Constellation family product line increasingly rich. It is not difficult to see that the appearance of the latest 2016 Omega Globemaster combines the best of the 1952 and 1968 generations of the Constellation. The traditional and vintage exterior of the Globemaster conceals a “ heart ” representing today's cutting-edge watchmaking technology: the — Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement —.

      Owners of Omega Constellation watches know that the case back of their timepiece is engraved with 8 stars. These 8 stars represent the eight most significant precision records set by Omega movements during the nineteen-forties and nineteen-fifties. The Globemaster also features 8 stars on its case back; beyond representing a glorious past, they symbolise the “Master Chronometer” certification, which requires passing 8 rigorous testing standards —— the METAS (Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology) certification process. Due to space constraints, the details of the METAS certification process will not be elaborated upon here, as they are easily accessible.

        Our lives are filled with all kinds of magnetic fields: mobile phones, televisions, speakers, computers, server rooms, mahjong parlours, high-speed rail, aeroplanes … … The Globemaster pays no attention to these magnetic environments. It knows that there is no magnetic field on earth that can trouble it. The anti-magnetic capability of the Globemaster reaches up to 15000 gauss, and the exhibition case back allows you to observe every movement of the calibre. The case of the Globemaster is slim, fluid, and features a date display; unlike traditional anti-magnetic watches that use a soft-iron inner case—which not only conceals the movement and eliminates the date display (because holes cannot be made in a soft-iron cage) but also makes the watch case relatively thick and heavy—the Globemaster excels. In particular, traditional anti-magnetic watches are not nearly as resistant as the Globemaster, possessing a weakness that immediately compromises them upon entering a strong magnetic field.

 

 

        No wonder Swatch Group CEO — — Nick • Hayek said: “ Pioneering spirit means having the courage to innovate and pioneer; the pioneering spirit is part of Omega's heritage. As a pioneer in Olympic timekeeping, Omega decides the winners in competitions. As a pioneer in lunar exploration, Omega leads the progress of human advancement. Through the introduction of the new Master Chronometer certification system, along with the outstanding technology and exceptional craftsmanship of the Globemaster, Omega has ground-breakingly set a brand-new precision standard for the Swiss watchmaking industry! ”
