New Railmaster
Been after one of these for a while to add to the fold and as luck would have it one came along.
The blue is nicer in life and more subdued than I initially thought. Well indoor anyway will see outside when it gets sunny.

I very nearly got an XXL years ago but just couldn’t get over the size of the thing.
They have done a great job with this one love it especially on the leather strap. Enjoy it! |

Congratulations. I looked at this watch at an AD a couple of weeks ago. It is strong.

Thank you all for the kind wishes, it’s quirky and I like quirky watches currently. This will go nicely with my z blue. I am not keen on the denim strap the dial is quite flat till light hits the watch and it comes alive.

Nice watch! A solid, reliable daily wearer. I like the lack of date window too. Congrats!

Congratulations! The new Railmasters look great and I really like the vertically brushed dials. Although I like my Explorer, I think the Railmaster makes a better everyday watch due to the all-brushed case, a much lower street price, easy availability, and that it works much better with straps. I'm so glad Omega didn't put a date on it.

Great looking watch...your original photos do not capture the orange Railmaster font on the dial and orange seconds hand, so it must be the lighting.
I thought this was a new dial variation at first. |

Man, that dial. Was torn between this and the blue AT. Chose the AT this round, but would love to own this beauty one day.
