Omega Ambassadors

We are familiar with the term ‘influencer’ in reference to a person that promotes a brand, product, lifestyle, or venue on social media by the means of a partnership, however, this is not entirely unique to social media, and neither is it a recent development in the marketing world.

There are many celebrities, sports men & women and those who lead in their field with whom luxury watch brands partner in order to show case their products. These brand partners, or ambassadors, as they are referred in the industry, are generally individuals that are successful and well known in their field and often globally, therefore allowing them to showcase their luxury timepiece to their fans, as well as followers of their industry or sport.

Omega has an impressive catalogue of carefully chosen ambassadors to compliment the elegance & excellence of the brand, assisting with Omegas incredible ability to maintain its position, relevance and growth in an ever-changing market.

Arguably one of the most impressive of those ambassadors had to be Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin wore the Omega Speedmaster on the Apollo 11 mission, on which he famously walked on the moon, surely there’s no greater endorsement (or wider reaching advertisement).The Astronaut is still a part of the Omega family but unfortunately the original Speedmaster that was worn for the moon landing went missing upon return to Earth, but he has since been a proud wearer of many Moonwatch models.

The longest serving ambassador for the Omega brand is original super model, Cindi Crawford who joined the brand in 1995, since then she has raised her two children Presley and Kaia Gerber who have also become ambassadors for the brand. Gerber has taken lead from her mother and is now a regular face of Omegas campaigns.

Actors Eddie Redmayne, Nicola Kidman and George Clooney are some of Hollywood’s most famous actors and all wear Omega watches with pride as part of their ambassadorship and bring that true Hollywood glamour.

English actor Eddie Redmayne became an international ambassador for the brand in 2015 and continues to represent the Swiss watch maker at star studded events. Most recently the actor was spotted wearing his Steel Omega Aqua Terra Shades wristwatch at the illustrious fashion event The Met Gala.

Nicole Kidman joined the Swiss brand in 2005, Kidman has been spotted wearing many models from a diamond set constellation to the Seamaster Co-Axial Chronometer. The Australian actress was the face of the campaign that re introduced the Omega De Ville Ladymatic to the brands collection in 2015.

Hollywood actor, George Clooney also joined the ranks of the luxury brand in the early 2000’s but his love for the brand far preceded this partnership. The actor is renowned for his love of space exploration and has a fondness for the moonwatch, the actor stood alongside Buzz Aldrin for Omegas celebration for the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing.

Golf Champion Rory McIlroy became an Omega ambassador in 2013. McIlroy is not only an ambassador for the brand, but he also joined the brand to design the Omega Aqua Terra Ultra-light which was released in 2019. The sportsman owns a collection of Omega watches, most notably a Tourbillion that he purchased as celebration of his major win in 2019.

Actor Daniel Craig completes a star-studded collection of long standing ambassadors, the actor has worked with Omega since 2005, when he became the new face of the Omega Seamaster collection. The actor has worn Omega watches in each of his five James Bond movies. The fictional special agent is possibly one of the most famous, yet unofficial ‘ambassadors’ for the Omega brand. The action packed films depict the rugged and fearless secret agent, constantly in death defying situations all whilst wearing an array of Omega Seamaster watches from the Seamaster collection. This action-packed showcase gives us a real feel for the endurance and strength that Omega wants us to connect with their famous timepieces.

The most recent addition to this unique club of Omega Brand ambassadors is Zoe Kravitz, actress, movie director and daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz who has been spotted sporting the 28mm Omega constellation.
