- I share my thoughts on this beautiful timepiece from Omega that offers so much bang for buck when compared to other luxury watch brands
Thanks for watching..
cheers - Навчання та стиль
When they're not getting carried away pasting 007 all over their Seamasters , Omega really makes some beautiful timepieces.
Fair point.
That's pretty good!
As an Omega Railmaster owner, I can simply say “Yes!”. Spot on video.
This isn't just a review, its a love letter to Omega. Well Done !
You reckon they might watch this a send me a free watch, 😊😂😂
Seriously though, I love the brand, always have 👍
Speedmaster, Seamaster, Railmaster...The dream collection for me!
I think the Omega Globemaster is super underrated, it's an awesome watch.
Agreed!
If the datejust had class, it would be a globemaster.
I agree. I have a blue dial one in steel and sedna gold. Stunning watch.
I concur.
Amazing looking watch, especially the one with the blue dial. Exquisite. The bracelet design is not too much to my liking.
Perhaps, The Globemaster with the new speedmaster bracelet would look nice.
@@markstarmer3677 just got mine the same colour scheme and it’s epic
The bezel on the Globemaster is 🤌🏽
All your reviews are absolutely polished. But this one brushes on perfection Peter. You’ve covered everything extremely eloquently and with detail that I think all of us can say we expect from your great channel here.
Thank you kindly...too kind 🙏
I've only discovered this model recently and it's become my new favourite Omega. I'm going to sell my Speedmaster and get one of these.
Peter, video presentation is phenomenal, so much so that this is the second ‘22 watch you have presented that I’d like!
I’ve collected & enjoyed Omega for a life time & have my Grand & Fathers lifetime watches.
You have shown the dial in many attractive ways, but the caseback takes me back to the good old days, & sold this watch to me.
On metal or leather this is a daily wear, & I will certainly explore building a TI case and dial version for 2022.
This Omega railmaster could seriously be an affordable and readily available alternative to the Rolex Explorer 124270. The way this video was shot and lit, is so beautiful and artistic, those close up shots of the watch could fit in a new 007 movie trailer. 👌👍👏
😊🙏 just enjoying the hobby
Great review! I’ve had the black dial version for over a year and I love it. It doesn’t get compliments like the blue Seamaster 300m that I owned previously (which I sold because it was too big for my wrist) but I enjoy that it’s understated, and that, I know the true value, elegance, history and technology of this watch (even if others don’t). One thing that you didn’t mention in the review that I love about this watch is the slightly domed crystal. Perfection!
Correct, I have been enjoying what the light does with that slightly domed sapphire, very pleasing. If the watch only satisfies the owner and doesn't scream "look at men, look at me"..thats an excellent watch designer with much thought
Enjoy yours 👍
I have this exact Railmaster and couldn’t agree with you more. It’s a classic, well built and designed Omega. Very comfortable to wear. Great video.
Enjoy it Robert and wear it in good health
Your review was so good I bought a blue dial steel bracelet Seamaster Railmaster today before they disappear again from the range. It also helped that when I bought my Speedmaster Moonwatch a while back the Omega boutique gave me a couple of hours tuition with their watchmaker dissembling and reassembling a Railmaster movement. That was a lot of fun and showed me how well they are made. You are right, at this price point there is a lot of subtle work that has gone into the finishing of this watch that makes it more impressive and beautiful than it appears at first glance. Making something simple, high quality and elegant isn't easy. Thank you.
Well done Michael, Im sure you will enjoy it for years to come, that blue denim has so much character 👍🔥
Cheers mate
I didn't know if this watch but found myself stopping at the boutique window to take a look at it every time I was at the mall.
Great presentation on a beautiful understated piece.A watch you can go EXPLORING , without the wait or games of the other Explorer! 😉.I am a proud owner of the Denim dial version
love Omega, and your macro shots are excellent but this is definitely a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder
Cheers David
Great review. I love mine. The AD had to order it for me because it said it was not a very popular model. I picked up the denim dial on a bracelet. The AD threw in the OEM denim strap and a winder as well.
"Wear it a bit loose, ya mug!" really cracked me up.
Beautifully understated watch, and the internals add to its appeal. Wear it in good health for 2022, Peter!
Thanks David..its already getting heaps of wrist time
Cheers
I just purchased one… I cannot wait for it to arrive. Your review confirmed my decision was the right one! Thank you!!! 💯🙌🏻
Congrats and enjoy it when it arrives 👍
Great presentation from fellow Aussie .Refreshing review without the bs. Had the 57 trilogy beautiful watch, I get it great value in these pieces
I own the denim version and it's one of my most loved watches. Great video.
Great review. I've had my black dial Railmaster for 2 years next month. I bought it as my dip into vintage watches without the headache of actually owning a vintage watch. I have ended up wearing mine more than any other watch I own. My daytona, pepsi and hulk are getting almost no wrist time now and I ended up getting my Omega for under 3K slightly used. Amazing watch, keep up the great content.
You got a great deal and a top watch
Well done 👍
I was so close to buying the denim blue . The only reason i didnt was a lack of micro adjust so went with a seamaster instead. would love to still get one.
The conical crown is what I love most about this watch. Was torn between gray/black but this video leads me more toward gray. Great vid
Cant go wrong with either
The dial is awesome! I always like dials that feature something unique, thats why I adore the Rolex from the 70s with tigereye and even birch dials. The brushed dial on this one certainly tickles my fancy.
I disagree on the crown with you, Peter. Had the crown be a standard cylinder the watch might have looked a bit stiff and a little to strong with all these horizontal and vertical lines of the brushing. With this crown the watch looks a little more playful and elegant. Atleast in my humble opinion that is.
Great review as always Peter. It is the mix of more luxury timepieces (Omega, Mühle Glashütte, etc.) and the more affordable ones; the mix of microbrands and established ones that I like about your channel.
Beautiful watch and beautiful editing Peter. Thank you
Much appreciated 🙏
Awesome, pure awesome review. Congratulations.
love it!! the dial,the hands n the lume!
This is an excellent review. I enjoy your dialogue much more than most and for several reasons. Thank you Sir.
Thank you kindly!
Cheers
It is a beautiful watch I don’t know about the gray dial but black looks so beautiful
Excellent review 👍
I love OMEGA i have 2021 black dial seamaster300m with cerra sedna gold and 2021 black case planet ocean with sedna gold i got my dream 2 watches and did my research before buying a luxury watch without spending tons on 1 watch.
I own this watch in the Demin color. I love it. It's tough and sophisticated. I don't care for the denim NATO that it comes with though; it's too distracting and takes away from the beautiful dial. It mainly gets worn on a leather strap or more traditional solid color NATO. Great review!
Excellent review!
The Omega Railmaster Denim is my favourite watch of all time, it ticks all my boxes, a field, dress and beater watch. The dials on these watches are the best and throw a different texture in different light conditions. I promised myself when I retire that will be the first watch I will buy
Great review Peter 👍
Cheers Paul
I got myself one for my 60 bday, the denim one. All aspects of the watch are amazing. The best part is the bracelet. The clasp is so well designed, the watch always stay in the center of my wrist. I have many watches and there are very few that can accomplish this.
@@Porschenut13 wonderful colour, enjoy 👍
Excellent video. Thank you.
Loving the all-brushed finish on this.
To add on your observations, I think the bracelet could do with more tapering. And case reduce to about 38.5mm too. Then we may really look at perfection.
Lets see if an update is in the works in a few years..😊👍
It's been on my watch list. I have the Sinn 856 anniversary with similar colors and function. Do i need both?
Great video Peter, what a lovely watch
So well done that I had to watch it twice. Glad to see the rail master get some love. I think Omega offers the best value in the luxury Swiss market. Thanks Peter.
Love this watch, I just dont wear it on the bracelet because of the lack of adjustability. I wear it on sailcloth or leather.
I have the denim dial, and it’s pretty amazing
Thanks for this review Peter. What a beautiful watch! 😍
Cheers
Peter, i couldn't agree more. This watch is on my short list, but i prefer the blue dial with the white colored lume. Again as always, another great video.
Cheers
Back in my stepdad‘s day, he’s 87 years old now, people wore the same watch for 35 years and never got bored with it but I fear today people get bored every week and have to have a different watch, those days are gone. Too many so called “enthusiasts” would consider this a “boring” watch nowadays.
Well said
Yeah, I kinda have that problem. I have like 10 watches and I only wear 2 on a consistent basis and have for years. What's funny is those watches are a basic Seiko dress watch and a Hamilton field watch neither being particularly "interesting". This watch isn't to my taste, but I really respect the design and that Omega caliber.
@@pianofry1138 the only two I wear are a 126610 Submariner and a Seamaster pro 300. All my other watches were sold off or live in a display case.
Great job on your video
Excellent video Peter. I own the blue denim version. Love this watch. One con though is the crown. Too small and doesn’t “pop” out far enough making it very difficult to screw back down.
I am iffy with the crown too
That was one of my gripes
Apart from that the watch is so cool
Enjoy yours 🔥
Have this exact piece. It is my first luxury watch. It’s amazing 🤩
Enjoy
Nice intro to an unknown model, not my cup of tea but still great video, Macro shots and another good option in the diver saturated market nowadays.
👍🏻
Awesome review. I'm currently on the fence between this and the globemaster in blue. Btw what brand is that brown rubber strap you have on this? It looks amazing along with the mesh. Cheers!
Yes its gentleman among watch. I have got mine last month for only 3100 usd new. Love it very much. A watch which quality "if you know you know".
The current Railmaster flies under the radar. Guys in the market for a Rolex 41 Oyster Perpetual or missing the 39 mm Explorer should have a look. I would.
I would prefer applied or sandwich indexes on it,dont like much only printed dials.But for sure sort of a linen brushing always looks good.
Thanks 👍 Pete 😊 for that lovely content 🤠
The blue denim colored dial is spectacular also!
Totally agree ❤️
Interesting to compare with the Aquatera but that seems to be thicker and more expensive. The Railmaster is a lovely simple design but distinctly Omega.
I like the Railmaster. I personally find the SMP300 to be very gaudy so I much prefer models like the Railmaster and AT.
Great video!
Butterfly clasp= No $ale.
This was tolerable on thin light watches, you could wear them loose.
Omega: develop a microadjust butterfly similar to VC or ditch it.
Opinion only.
Wish I could get hold of that XXL 49! I wonder if Omega still has any for sale? Maybe eBay. Great video. Thanks.
Beautiful watch and awesome video. The quality of your writing is outstanding.
Thank you Marcelo, just enjoying the hobby my friend 👍
Would be improved by drilled lugs. Would make getting that bracelet on and off so much easier. This is supposed to be a tool watch, so the added functionality would be useful.
I’ve always appreciated high end watches, but it’s very rare that I have a true desire to own one. This is an exception. Thanks for introducing me to my grail!
My pleasure Dixon 😊
I just bought this watch and I have to say it's a beautiful watch! It's slim and sleek. It's Omega no date feild watch.
Initially the dial looks good but with brown leather strap 😍.... Beauty
I know a lot of commenters are saying they like the denim dial, I prefer the stainless presented here,
I think all three variants are beautiful in their own way 👍
I love the design and the dimensions.
Hiya Pete, love this watch! It's just the perfect synthesis of casualness and refinement! A masterpiece for me!
Totally agree Alex, extremely versatile
Came late from the fields back in Heraklion, opened this vid, 2 "likes" and 80something views, i fell asleep on my chair, woke up and dragged myself to bed. Morning after, 500+ likes and 12,5k views... couldn't be happier for you my friend, you got your channel on the right track for sure. Railmaster or not you have that something that people like and appreciate, for a good reason i'd say...
Cheers mate and a very happy new year for you and your family. Be well, keep on, fantastic review... again.
PS This watch is probably the ONLY Omega i'd get if i ever decide to go "one watch for ever", a true hidden gem for sure, well said. And i like the crown, (sorry mate 😉) but would love to wear this on a plain, simple perlon strap. Timelessness... as f@ck!
I’ve got it on a seatbelt atm feels and looks beautiful
Love the thumbnail, I just had to click and find out about this watch!! Great video and nice watch.
Glad you like it Dan, cheers mate
Beautiful words Peter. All go and not to much show. I'm on board.
really like the denim blue version with the denim strap, so ultra casual
Me too, i think even the blackish dial us also spectacular
You can’t go wrong here with this release 👍
If you can buy an Omega tomorrow, from a local AD, at the MSRP on Omega's website, that would convince me to do so (buying a Rolex under the same circumstances just seems like too much work).
The dial needs more 3d testure imo. Applied indices and logo would help a lot. Its an Omega so you know you get top quality and value, but I cant make myself like this more than an AT or Proffesional 300m.
Hi Peter. Great video. Can you tell me where you purchased the brown strap at 7:43? Apologies if I missed this in the comments.
Hi John, thats from Aliexpress, I did a video recently.. ua-cam.com/video/naMvYQ2_S7s/v-deo.html
That is a beautiful beautiful watch. The only niggle i have is the fauxtina, im not a fan. I think it would look better with white lume. But a dream watch for me, deffo.
Hey Phil, if faux patina is done bad, I think it looks tacky and cheap
In my eyes, Omega has nailed it here in this model. But that’s just me 😊
Cheers mate
I came oh-so very close to buying the Denim variant of this watch a year ago as it was HEAVILY discounted on the nato strap. I love the watch but really wanted the bracelet. However, on the bracelet, it loses its clout as it is too close in price to the Aqua Terra, which is far beyond my range of affordability in any case. In hindsight, should I have bought the Railmaster Denim? It is such a beautiful watch and I think of it often, but my Tudor Heritage Ranger scratches that itch very nicely…. for now, in any case. Thanks for taking the tine to produce another excellent video, Peter. I hope 2022 treats you very well.
Cheers Eddie 🍺
Looks amazing 💪
This watch looks amazing on the stainless steel mesh strap, which I far prefer the looks & comfort of over the standard SS strap.
100% agree with your review.
I've never favored this model, but I see it with new appreciation, thanks to your excellent presentation.
Price, well, I'm still not convinced any watch is worth five grand or above, versus what can be found for so much less cost, while still offering the same performance, but that's just me.
That's the beauty of the watch industry; there's something for everyone. My everyday watches are a Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, a Seiko Alpinist, a Bulova Lunar Pilot (since I can't afford the Speedy I dream about), an Orient Sun and Moon (Third Generation), and a Samsung Gear S3.
Do I love Omegas? Yes. I have 2. Would I love to have a Speedmaster Moon Watch? It tops my bucket list.
There's something for everyone.
@@104thDIVTimberwolf Yes, indeed. It's the central reason why there is no "right way" to enjoy the hobby. It's just very personal, what we each like.
I nearly plunked down the money for the 50th Anniversary Lunar Pilot, although I have the standard one already. I'm still pondering it.
With a collection that surpassed 400 watches, some months ago, I certainly don't need another, haha, but I know the collection will continue to grow. A Planet Ocean is appealing to consider, if I can convince myself it's worth it. Time will tell.
I bought it like new for $2400. Do you think it's cheap or expensive?
Blue or silver dial i cannot decide ?
Well done!
I wanted to see the black version but my ad said they don’t bother stocking them. But even without seeing it there are a couple of issues, different lume on the hands is really quite tasteless. I want to try a watch with a bracelet but not being able to get a nice fit would annoy me. You would not wear trousers that were to tight or kept falling down. Both of these things seem very much at odds with what could be omega's version of a tool watch
Exceptional review peter
Cheers brother 🙏
Thank you!
cheers
@Peter , I've bought this on the Nato strap. Do you know if the steel bracelet can be purchased at all separately ?
Have you contacted an Omega Boutique?..I am sure it should be an add on if required
I got the Trilogy Seamaster and I have to say I love it
Beautiful piece 👍
I both agree and disagree as regards the crown: I love the aesthetics, but the 8500 series crowns were easier to use. Thankfully, my Railmaster is accurate enough that I don't have to touch it very often - and I almost never take it off! You can see me flying with it in my videos. How do you find the legibility on the grey/silver dial? My denim version is excellent that way :)
Honestly, I’ll take an Omega over a Rolex any day. They just produce amazing watches!
I agree with that - until you try to sell one.
I bought a pair of Corgeut Aqua Terra and Railmaster homages, about $70us. To my surprise the Railmaster was much more my pick for design.
Rather poor lume on both, but was expecting that, I suppose...
I know that a date complication isn't part of the Railmaster's offerings. If it did, it would be fantastic.✌🏽
A nice simple watch, I know it's a vintage style piece but I'm not a fan of the aged lume . I quite like a butterfly clasp, if you get a good fit. Prefer the globemaster, with the fluted bezel although they are a bit thick . I still think this is a bit plain for my taste, I would go for an aqua terra. I do get the appeal though , I just need a bit more going on for my taste . Great vid as always Peter, always informative mate .
Cheers Martin 👍
I have a slightly different position on the caseback. As an engineer, I want to see the mechanism and try to understand how it works. Especially so if the non transparent caseback is no longer required to achieve the magnetic resistance.
would have been nice, but probably at the expense of a little case thickness
I too love to see the movement, but in this case, the wearability is very welcomed
I love mine!!
Superb watch&superb review.
Thanks
would look much better with white lume on the hands and markers. would have matched perfectly to the all steel look
Where did you get the Milanese bracelet for yours?? I’m looking for one to try on my great Railmaster
Hi Jake
This was a spare I had lying around from Strapsco
It’s shiny, so I’d like to get a Matt finish one 👍
An understated, triple-master gentleman. So much to respect here, whether or not one agrees with the style.
Personally, I appreciate what Omega has done here, and some day, my bank account will allow me to appreciate one in my collection. Good thing this one looks like it will stand the test of (Peter's well placed pun) time.
Well said Michael..😊
On a side note, I am not here to please others with my style choices, thats for me and me only..
I LOVE this thing..on so many levels 👍👍👍
Cheers
@@PeterKotsa That side note is one of the many reasons why I enjoy what you have to share, and how you share it 🙂
@@michaelniemer4449 bless you brother 🙏
I never really appreciated the railmaster until now. I'm not sure how to feel about butterfly clasps though. If only it had a microadjust standard clasp. *sigh*
This watch is a good example of historical precedence harming sales. 100 years ago, there was reason to not include a date function, but not now. They would have sold a lot more of these if it had a calendar.
I would have loved to see them do a faraday cage (even though it isn’t needed with the Silicon) but cool to see it stay thin. I have been looking at this or an AT.
I think you cant go wrong with either..the AT is a little thicker profile but apart from that Omega makes a killer watch in the entire range
@@PeterKotsa they do! I love omega, wish they would make a little bit slimmer automatic chrono, their 9900 watches are 4mm thicker than a Daytona which hurts versatility. Not looking for a wafer but would love to see them slim 1-2mm off them, I’d be buying several haha
Hi!!! I’m thinking of buying this Omega model, but I don’t know how big it will look on my 6.3in wrist…I’ve been wearing my Tudor Ranger 39mm and it looks right in….but I don’t know how this Omega will wear…similar? Smaller? Bigger?
Ive tried the Ranger on myself, and the Omega is very close, in fact you will probably not even notice the difference in sizing as it is that close
If you get an chance, pop into an AD and try it on the wrist beforehand 👍
@@PeterKotsa thank you very much!!!!
