Happy Sunday everyone :)
Quite an underrated watch, the globemaster has unique characters that stand out from the rest. Among them is my favourite C-shaped case, straight-cut lugs, with beveled polished edge. Sporty and elegant at the same time.

Will associate it with datejust, although the flutes in omega is more narrow and less bling than Rolex's. However, Omega took risk to differentiate Globemaster to the rest of Omega's watches. They would have made it too easy with plain bezel. I appreciate...
An additional reason might be the marginal relevance of the name . . .
. . . 'Globemaster' to Omega's history. Yes, there was a Globemaster from the Golden Age, but it was never regarded as especially important by either the market or collectors. So the cachet of, say, Railmaster or Seamaster or even Constellation is absent ...
