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.

It’s approx 12mm, but I find with the embossed case back it wears very comfortably. Photos speak volumes so first against by bb58 and than Apollo 8 and a few other omegas to give you an idea. It is actually very comfortable to wear as an every day watch.

Whilst we have a bit of sun out the roofs come down and the Railmaster has been out to play.

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.
