OMEGA maps the 98th Academy Awards through named watch references

OMEGA used its 16 March Academy Awards coverage to turn a familiar red-carpet recap into a more precise watch story. Rather than limiting the moment to celebrity wrist-spotting, the brand attached several named references to the 98th ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, giving the event a clearer product angle across the Seamaster, De Ville and Speedmaster families.

Amy Madigan’s appearance brought one of the most jewellery-driven pieces in the roundup: a 30 mm Seamaster Aqua Terra in stainless steel and 18K Moonshine Gold with a diamond-set bezel, reference 220.25.30.20.55.001. Wagner Moura was listed in a 41 mm De Ville Prestige in stainless steel on a black leather strap, reference 434.13.41.20.02.001, while Lewis Pullman wore a 40 mm De Ville Trésor on a grey leather strap, reference 435.53.40.21.06.001.

The sportier side of the selection came from Michael Cimino, whose watch was identified as a 42 mm Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional in 18K Canopus Gold on a matching bracelet, reference 310.55.42.50.02.001. 

The same page also listed Reece Feldman in a 30 mm Seamaster Aqua Terra in 18K Moonshine Gold, reference 220.55.30.20.60.001, and Chase Stokes in a 38 mm Speedmaster in 18K Sedna Gold with a diamond-set bezel, reference 324.58.38.50.63.001. Together, those choices showed OMEGA spreading attention across dress and sports lines instead of centring the evening on a single hero model.

The most open-ended detail was Delroy Lindo’s unreleased OMEGA watch in 18K Moonshine Gold. No reference or technical description was given, so the appearance stops short of a launch announcement, but it still adds a forward-looking detail to the brand’s awards-season visibility. For readers tracking the wider OMEGA catalogue, the Academy Awards page worked less as a generic celebrity gallery and more as a compact snapshot of how the brand positioned current references, precious-metal executions and one unreleased watch on a major film-industry stage.
