Omega Celebrates New Friend With Fresh Bling
June 05, 2024 – Unless you’ve been living under a stone in the middle of nowhere you won’t have escaped all-round nice guy Irish actor Barry Keoghan’s meteoric rise to success on the global stage. With some seriously good films under his belt Barry’s been a regular feature on A-Lister red carpet events such as the Golden Globes, the Met Gala and so on. It turns out the young Irishman got a bit obsessed with the Omega he wore to the Globes, a moment clearly not missed by Omega who further fuelled that obsession at this year’s Met Gala, enabling Barry to wear not one, but three iconic Omega timepieces.
Roll on to this week and the really, very unsurprising announcement has arrived that Barry and Omega are going steady, and he is officially a ‘Friend of the Brand’. We assume that is a friend with benefits in the very horological sense! To celebrate the moment Omega also dropped not one, but two precious metal Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches. Both are stunning bicolour, two-tone pieces, one using Omega’s take on yellow gold, Moonshine Gold, and featuring a white dial. The second, our personal favourite (in case you’re listening Omega) is a beautiful two-tone using Sedna Gold, Omega’s stunning rose gold.
Barry’s obviously already got the full set we reckon, us mere mortals will need to order them at full price, which is likely to be just under $20k from your friendly neighbourhood Omega dealer.
