The Globemaster
The Globemaster is celebrated as the first watch to achieve Master Chronometer Certification, the highest standard of precision. Administered by The Federal Institute of Metrology, the Globemaster has passed eight different tests related to quality, durability, and accuracy, including resistance to magnetic fields, waterproofness, and power reserve. The Globemaster features the design codes that tie together so many pieces within the Constellation collection, as well as the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber. You can discover OMEGA's most advanced movement yet in the Constellation collection.
As a unique piece in terms of technology and history, the Globemaster is one of OMEGA's most highly sought-after timepieces. Beyond its technical achievements, the design of the Globemaster pays homage to the other models in the Constellation collection, with subtle yet impactful details that add to its allure. Collectors and enthusiasts alike are drawn to the Globemaster not only for its unparalleled performance but also for its connection to the storied heritage of OMEGA.
An Illustrious History of The Constellations Collection
The First Constellation was introduced in 1952, but its style codes were originally borrowed from a limited-edition OMEGA watch designed by René Banwart. This watch, called the Centenary, had 6,000 total units, all solid gold, and was produced in 1948 to mark the company's 100th anniversary as La Generale Watch Company. The success of this watch and its elegant design launched the inspiration for the Constellation collection, which became available four years later.
The collection's name comes from the emblem present on each case back of the collection. The emblem depicts the Geneva Observatory and an arrangement of eight stars. The stars represent the two chronometer records and six additional awards the watch has earned in its time at OMEGA.
Today's Constellations: The Meteorite Collection
After over 50 years as one of OMEGA's most prized collections, the Constellation collection continues to evolve. The newest addition is the Meteorite collection, a dazzling display of technological prowess and astronomical inspiration. The unique dial is constructed from the Muonionalusta meteorite, possibly the oldest meteorite on earth, at over 4.5 billion years old. Using its most advanced color treatment technology, OMEGA uses slices of this celestial body to create one-of-a-kind dials in four galactic shades: Rhodium-grey, PVD Moonshine Gold, Icy Blue, and Lilac. Due to the natural nature of the unique slices, each dial is entirely unique, giving you a one-of-a-kind timepiece. Further adorned with bracelets and diamond bezels that accentuate the iconic bezel claws, the Meteorite Collection is an eternally elegant timepiece.
