This announcement was a long-time coming for Andrew Garfield. The superstar has made multiple appearances donning OMEGA timepieces before. Furthermore, the Tick, Tick. . .Boom! actor graced the 2022 94th Annual Academy Awards with a beautiful timepiece that matched his Saint Laurent burgundy tuxedo. The watch in question was the Omega Speedmaster ‘57, inspired by the first Speedmaster from 1957.
In case you missed out, the actor wore the Omega De Ville Prestige with a Blue Dial at the 2023 SAG Awards and the Omega De Ville Tresor at the Oscars 2023.
Not limited to the red carpet, the charming celebrity was also seen with the Omega De Ville Prestige at Wimbledon 2022 – what an incredible yet timeless range of collections, we might add.
As a friend of the brand, Andrew Garfield continues to captivate the world with his incredible performance. We look forward to seeing what’s next for the actor and Omega.
