2015/17 Omega Globemaster White 39mm 130.30.39.21.02.001

Here, we have a 2015/17 Omega Globemaster Master 39mm 130.30.39.21.02.001, introduced at the 2015 Baselworld, an updated contemporary design inspired by the classic 1952 “Pie Pan” Constellation Globemaster collection released for the USA market; this is the world's first Master Chronometer.  The 39mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel case sits comfortably on your wrist with tapered lugs, polished chamfer edges transition with crisp lines, leading the eyes towards a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm. On the right side is a signed crown. An attractive Tungsten Carbide fluted bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides above a stunning sunburst opaline silver pie-pan dial, in keeping with its vintage aesthetic. An outer minute track surrounds applied baton indexes filled with Super-LumiNova, marking the hours; at 6 o’clock, a date window, elegant slender sword hands filled with the same lume are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand; at noon, you find an applied Omega motif “Globemaster” printed underneath and at 6 o’clock “Co-Axial Master Chronometer” and the characteristic Rhodium Constellation “Star.” On the reverse, an exhibition screwed-down case back, inside an automatic Omega Co-Axial Cal. 8900, 39 jewels, 25,200 beats per hour, beautifully decorated in Côtes de Genève, Omega uses modern materials to achieve accuracy and reliability, such as twin barrels, a silicon hairspring and a free-sprung balance wheel, resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gausses, the Rotor has the Eight Star Observatory in the centre and is bidirectional for improved efficiency. Certified Master Chronometer, approved by METAS, ”Swiss National Metrology Institute'', the watch goes through COSC certification before being selected for the eight tests run by METAS. The watch comes paired with its original Omega 20mm brushed stainless steel bracelet with an Omega-signed push-button butterfly clasp, and the watch also comes with its original Omega presentation box.

This watch is sold with its original Omega presentation box. It comes paired with its original Omega 20mm brushed stainless steel bracelet with an Omega-signed push-button butterfly clasp and will fit up to a 7.1-inch wrist. The watch is from Circa 2015/17 and is in worn condition, but overall, it is in very fair condition, as you can see from the photos. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This reference is still one of the most underappreciated models in the recent Omega lineup and can be picked up for an absolute steal compared to its RRP. This is the Omega Globemaster, reference 130.30.39.21.02.001, in 39mm with a beautiful "pie-pan" white dial, the black indices and hands contrast beautifully and the fit and finish are what we have all come to love and expect from Omega. I seriously would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection if you are after something a little more left-field than the typical choice from Omega!

Formerly known as the La Generale Watch Co. in 1848, it was founded by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds. When he died in 1879, his sons carried on his dream. In 1880, they moved to 96 Rue Jakob-Stampfli, where they remain today. The brothers produced their first mass-produced calibre, the Labrador In 1885. Just a few years later, in 1892, they produced the first minute-repeater. In 1903, they renamed the company Omega until 1982, when they officially changed their name to Omega SA. During WW1, Omega watches were used as official timekeepers for the Royal Flying Corps and the US Army. In 1930, Omega and Tissot merged together to form Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère (SSIH) In 1931, another group was formed - Allgemeine Schweizerische Uhrenindustrie AG (ASUAG). Where SSIH was primarily French-speaking, ASUAG was founded by the more German-speaking members of the Swiss watch industry. In 1948, they introduced the first edition of one of its most symbolic watches: the Seamaster. Omega first introduced the Constellation in 1952. At the time, it was Omega's flagship timepiece. The first models had a Cal. 354 bumper movement in them. Later, in 1955, Omega introduced the Automatic Cal. 50x, followed in 1959 by the Cal.55x (no date) and 56x (date) versions. Many of the Constellations came with pie-pan dials, diamond indexes, and fancy lug configurations. All the gold Constellations of that time have the Observatory of Geneva's hand engraved on the back. The stainless steel and stainless steel/gold versions had a gold medallion on the back with the Observatory of Geneva. The eight stars above the Observatory stand for the many exploits of Omega in the world Chronometer competition. Celebrating the fact that all Constellations are Chronometer Certified. In 1962, when astronaut Wally Schirra wore a Speedmaster on his Mercury Sigma 7 Mission, making it the first Omega watch to enter space. After rigorous tests, NASA used Omega for all their Apollo missions, including the 1969 Moon landing of Apollo 11. Today, Omega is still the first choice of astronauts. In 1969, President Nixon famously said it was “too valuable” and turned down the first-ever all-gold Speedmaster Professional Deluxe. As a response to the ever-growing threat of electronic watches to the manufacturers of mechanical watches, Omega and many Swiss brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe formed Centre Electronique Horloger (CEH). Prototypes began to appear in 1967 with their production starting in 1968. Then, In 1972, Omega introduced the reference 198.030, which included the Omega calibre 1250, a ‘tuning-fork electronic movement which was made under licence from Bulova. Later we saw a merger of SSIH and ASUAG into SMH, or Société de Microélectronique et d’Horlogerie. This merger took place in 1983. In 1992, the company acquired Blancpain, and in 1998, it officially rebranded itself from SMH to the Swatch Group. Then, in 1999, they purchased and integrated Breguet into the Swatch Group.
