The pie pan dial with a fluted bezel has an art deco quality. Omega has been using fluted bezels since the 30s, so it’s a meaningful design choice steeped in the brand’s history, not just a random way to stand out.

Despite its mostly clean face, the Globemaster is one of the most detail-oriented contemporary Omega designs I’ve seen. The printing on the outlined polished hands, logo, and star medallion above the date is so sharp, it seems to float.

Under certain lights, you can see the rhodium plating. That, along with the clear caseback makes the Globemaster a great piece for us horology nerds.

Since the unconventional design choices are so tastefully implemented, I don’t think this watch would be a statement piece without the slightly bigger size. All guys have different wrist and hand proportions, so definitely try before you buy or make sure you’re looking at a good return policy.

Like the Railmaster, the Globemaster is a bit of a well-kept secret, so it’s an effective way to be thoughtfully unique.

Got small wrists? Try Omega!

My favorite watch brands are those with important horological histories.

Fortunately, since brands like that are best known for their classics, even contemporary lines are reliant on past designs that were created when small pieces were popular.

Omega is a great place to start, and a surprisingly easier brand to find a watch for us smaller gents!
