I propose and apply a method for deriving ages of the metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) in a distance-independent way, which is based on an age indicator related to the main sequence in the two-color diagrams using the U-B index. The age of the metal-poor GC NGC 6397 has been estimated, using Yale isochrones of Demarque et al. (1996), to be close to 16 Gyr provided the cluster metallicity is near [Fe/H] = −2.0.
