Barry Keoghan and Omega Are Now ‘Frıend of the Brand’ Offıcıal
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.
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.
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.
