Round-UpCelebrity Watch—March 2023: ‘O’ For Oscars; ‘O’ For Omega

Dominating Oscar night, Omega was seen on the wrists of many, including two of the most prominent Academy Award winners of the year. With a smattering of Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, TAG Heuer, Panerai, here’s our Omega-forward Oscar special ‘celebrity watch’ for March 2023

May We Recommend

Hollywood’s biggest night, the Oscars are always a hot platform for horological sightings. We know that Rolex is a partner of the Academy and the event—for several years now—and they also have a Rolex green room, backstage at the Dolby Theatre every year. Obviously Rolexes are seen in the mix of watches spotted during the Academy Awards. And there’s often a healthy mix of Cartier and others as well. One of the most prominent watches seen this year was Richard Mille—a custom bejewelled white RM07-02 on the wrist of Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once), who happens to be a long-time friend of the brand. And while we saw a timepiece or two from the likes of Jaeger-LeCoultre, TAG Heuer and Panerai, the one brand that was seen all over the red carpet—or champagne carpet rather—was Omega. This was true not just for the main awards show, but also at the Vanity Fair after-party, which is the biggest post-Oscars event every year. Here’s a quick look at the most noteworthy watch sightings of the month—from the 95th Oscars.

Brendan Fraser

A new Oscar winner for his leading role in The Whale, Brendan Fraser wore a true tool watch—the Speedmaster Chronoscope, with tachymeter, telemeter and pulsometer scales that are meant to work in tandem with the chronograph. Paired with Fraser’s black-tie look, this is a fine example of how sport/tool watches have transcended their literal purpose to now also suit dressier requirements.
