The Globemaster: The world’s first Master Chronometer

Created in the true spirit of OMEGA, the Globemaster houses the brand’s most advanced mechanical movement and features a design inspired by early Constellation models that represent horological expertise and OMEGA’s legacy of precision and outstanding performance.

Movement

- Calibre: Omega 8901
- Self-winding movement with Co-axial escapement for greater precision, stability and durability.
- Movement tested by COSC: movement and watch tested according to certification process approved by METAS.
- Resistant to magnetic fields reaching 15,000 gauss.
- Free-sprung balance with silicon balance spring; two barrels mounted in series; automatic winding in both directions to reduce winding time; time zone function; NIVACHOC.
- 18K Sedna™ gold rotor and balance bridge and luxury finish with Geneva waves in arabesque.
- Power reserve: 60 hours

The eight criteria for the Globemaster certification process are:

  1. The function of the movement during exposure to a magnetic field of 15,000 gauss
  2. The deviation in the running time of the watch in six positions
  3. The deviation in the running time of the watch between 0 and 2/3 power reserve
  4. The function of the watch during exposure to a magnetic field of 15,000 gauss
  5. The deviation of the average daily precision of the watch after exposure to a magnetic field of 15,000 gauss
  6. The average daily precision of the watch in tests replicating daily wearing conditions (six positions, two temperatures)
  7. The power reserve of the watch (autonomy – functioning without winding)
  8. The water resistance of the watch (tested in water).
