Introducing: The Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar
This time last year, Omega brought out what they would position as the ultimate all-purpose, every day watch in the Globemaster. The watch has a lot going for it as is, but now Omega has upped the ante with a Globemaster with annual calendar complication. 1 OF 2 Now in 41 mm (the normal Globemaster is 39 mm), this new annual calendar features each month of the year in the 12 facets of the trademark pie-pan dial. Then, a thin blued hand points towards the current month, which then instantly jumps at month's end. 2 OF 2 The case remains stainless steel while the polished, fluted bezel is made of scratch-proof tungsten carbide. As with the other Globemasters, the annual calendar features a co-axial, master chronometer certification from METAS.

We didn't have the chance to get too in-depth before Mr. F.P. Journe popped his head into the room to say hello, accompanied by mega-collector Claude Sfeir. Oh, and then half of the band KISS showed up and our conversation quickly derailed. Essentially it was like every great HODINKEE video* merging into one whacky 30-minute pow-wow. So while our chat was brief, it was somewhat illuminating, particularly regarding this master marketer's strategy with TAG's looming Google/Intel collab. And yes, that was me completely name-dropping in a not-so-shameless way. I hope you'll allow it just this once because it was one of those moments where I looked around t

Will be at Bangkok next week for a vacation, like to check what is the retail price and discounts for a 5711/1A in Bangkok.And I like to know whether it easy to find at the AD or need to place a waiting list for it.

Amazing how in 10 minutes, you can change the look of this watch to just something else. No other Rolex can boast such a change up.10 Mins later:
