If you love an Explorer I .... you just have to love this watch.

Solo118 · 21 August 2007, 01:49 PM

reminds me of the planet ocean which is a great thing!

timebroker · 21 August 2007, 05:51 PM

Excellent watch, as are all Omega give or take a few :p

leopardprey · 21 August 2007, 05:56 PM

I have thought many times about getting the Railmaster. Very nice watch! Love the see through back and the new co-axial movement is outstanding. The Rail Master has a rich history dating from 1957 and much earlier. Also has a history linking it to RR travel through China.

The Lum is great on that watch!

Dont know much about Omega, but I love the look of this watch....just my sort of thing (no fugly cyclops to ruin the look).
How much is the watch ?

frostie · 22 August 2007, 04:28 AM

$1800 -$2000 US

gaopa · 22 August 2007, 12:02 PM

To my eye that is a nice clean classic look.....

Panos · 24 August 2007, 06:21 PM

for an alternative (lower cost - approx US $ 1k) try the Oris BC3 Day Date

Oris are 'pure' mechanical watches (they do not make quartz) Swiss watches

yemenmocha · 29 October 2007, 08:01 AM

Railmasters vary in price based on which of the many models. I just acquired a Railmaster Chronometer and it was a bit more than $2000. (Pictures soon, btw).

The watch is very elegant in person. It has a clean, classic look that will be appreciated by anyone who enjoys Omega in general. To the untrained eye it is a conservative looking stainless piece that won't garner unwanted attention.

Someone is sounding a little pretentious to me!

Thani · 29 October 2007, 09:02 AM

niiiiice piece !!

Richard H. · 11 November 2007, 01:42 PM

I like the clean unclutterd look of the Railmaster.

Lol-x · 11 November 2007, 02:05 PM

There is a 49mm version and it is HUGE. I do like the 41mm version, that is very nicely sized.

Agree, 41mm is nice

49mm is a tuna can on your wrist.

Atomant · 11 November 2007, 11:38 PM

I tried it on and it fits my wrist perfectly.

puffnmo · 12 November 2007, 03:33 AM

That is a beautiful watch. I love Omega - they have gone from being a somewhat stodgy even boring producer of fine watches about 6 or 7 years ago to a top producer of stylish top-quality time pieces.

Now, if they would just stop making so many watches, they could create a mystique and also have a bigger collector following. Larry.

JJ Irani · 12 November 2007, 03:33 AM

That is an absolute beauty.

I once had the pleasure of owning the Aqua Terra 41 mm version with date and superb black dial. Loved it. Very dress and sporty at the same time.

Wear it in good health!!

kingblackbolt · 12 November 2007, 03:45 AM

Love that Railmaster 41 is a good size too but 49? Good lord isn't that a shield? (See pics below)

I've always liked the Railmaster and came close to buying one on a couple of occasions...

Speaking of Omega I just pulled the trigger on a nice Omega Aqua Terra... pics to follow soon!

Paulie · 12 November 2007, 04:15 AM

The 49mm Railmaster is a manual wind too.

So do you wear that monster around your neck or ankle, Steve?

No date complication makes a manual wind no hardship really.

The 41mm Omega looks huge on the wrist as it is, I can barely imagine another 8mm... compare:
