Official Seamaster Railmaster Owner's Club

There is an Omega Seamaster Owner's Club and Railmasters are Seamasters, but so are multiple other Seamaster models (300's, Chronos, Aqua Terra's, Planet Ocean's, Bullhead's, Ploprof's) which dilute it too much. I think Railmaster's deserve their own Official Owner's Club, so here it goes!

All Railmaster versions are welcome: vintage, manuals, autos, jumbos, chronos, coaxials, master coaxials, LE / anniversary, etc. so all climb aboard!

Here's my current Railmaster: A 39 MM caliber 2403 model 2503.52.00

What do you guys think of this strap combo?



It's a Barton sailcloth.

I got my 36mm Raily back in 2012 and it will be a keeper. The simplicity of the dial layout, and its clarity, the more-than-needed 150m water-resistance, the great size for my school-girly 6.5 inch wrist

The Fratello Watches website did a recent write-up on the Co-Axial 39mm Railmaster and there were a few comments saying that this watch was boring. I don't get that at all.
Besides, it's not up to the watch to be interesting or exciting. That's up to the person wearing the watch.

It's a classic watch, one which is a nice, modern interpretation of the original model from 1957. Works very nicely on its original bracelet, although I wish it had a standard clasp like the Speedmaster and Seamaster range, but it does look pretty schmick on almost any other kind of strap you put on it. Here it is on a no-name $20.oo (AUD!) leather strap;

Yep. I can't fault this watch much. A different clasp would make it perfect, but it's pretty damn close as-is.

Classic, classic watch.
Great post, Tino. And fantastic pictures, as always.

I especially like the picture that tells the story of how Teeritz came about his Railmaster. I know I've looked at a watch many times in the past and come away not knowing the time.

I've always been a big fan of the original 1957 Railmaster ref. CK2914. After seeing pictures of the first 36mm, calibre 2500 interpretations of the watch (ref. 2504.52) I wanted one desperately. I thought it was an honourable nod to the original.

Then OMEGA released the 60th Anniversary Railmaster, and I think they've done a splendid job. A more modern size at 38mm, but still small enough to maintain the charm of the original 36mm. Also, the bracelet. I don't think I really have to say anything about the bracelet. Okay, I'll say this...stunning!!

I had an opportunity to see one at my AD and try it one. What a beauty!! I hope one day I'll be able to get my hands on one.

Such a beauty, and the craftsmanship is out if this world.

The Railmaster is a very underrated and under appreciated watch. I absolutely love mine. I say go for it.

Your Railmaster looks great on that strap. As does that Ball. Nice collection!

Getting ready to enjoy a fine cigar. Hopefully it doesn't give me the urge to scratch the furniture.

I have a 39mm Railmaster and looking for the OEM strap that's pictured. Any information on where I get one?

Contact your local OMEGA Boutique or Authorized Dealer and I'm sure they'll be happy to order one for you. Best of luck!!

This is indeed a very nice strap, René. What do you think about mine?

View attachment 15589538
That's a beauty as well, Mike.

I was looking at a strap that was very similar to that one before a friend and WUS member offered to sell me this strap after he parted ways with his 60th Railmaster. Come to think of it, it might have been that exact strap. Where is that one from?

This is another one I was looking at from Colareb;

It's from a guy in Romania who runs this shop: Bespoke Watch Straps & Other Leather Goods | Genteel Handmade

Very nice guy and a gifted craftsman.
Yes, that's the same strap I was contemplating.
