Barry Keoghan has been made a ‘friend’ of Omega—with a pair of new Speedmaster Moonwatch watches announced to officially welcome him to the brand.
Keoghan has been bossing red carpet coverage for the past 18 months, with a succession of internet-grabbing outfits including a black Stella McCartney suit worn with a frilly white dress shirt, a red Louis Vuitton evening jacket plus matching checkered trousers and an arm-bearing green Givenchy vest.
But he’s been no slouch in the accessories department, either.
There have been jangly keychains. There have been pearl necklaces. There have been Oliver Twist-style top hats.
Watch spotters have also enjoyed his wrist-wear. Keoghan has frequently been kitted out in—and presumably by—Omega.
He wore a handsome burgundy Speedmaster ’57 to last year's BAFTAs.
And a 1930s Art Deco Lépine ‘Sideros’ pocket watch to last month’s Met Gala, to name two.
Today Omega makes the love-in official, with Keoghan announced as the new face of the brand—with two new Speedmaster variants launched to coincide with the happy news.
The first of the new Speedys is a bi-colour version that combines stainless steel and the brand’s own 18ct yellow gold alloy known as Moonshine Gold. It features a sun-brushed silvery dial framed by a black ceramic bezel, with a tachymeter scale in Ceragold, another proprietary Omega material. The contrasting subdials also come in 18ct Moonshine Gold.
The other Speedmaster is being released in yet another Omega material—18ct Sedna Gold. Both models are available now.
