The 2022 Oscars may be remembered for a certain onstage incident involving a comedian and a disgruntled actor, but the much-awaited awards show shone the spotlight on many of Hollywood’s best. In their finest garb, Hollywood’s A-listers amped up the style, adorning themselves in jewels and anything but modest accessories.

In particular, the men flashed covetable timepieces on their wrists, with models ranging from horology’s classics to today’s latest releases. We break down some of the most outstanding timepieces we’ve seen on the red carpet this year.

Elordi, of Euphoria fame, sported a classic Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre Heuer, which was first released in 1969. It features a stainless steel body with a black dial and a matching sleek strap in black alligator leather.

This horological icon brought about a couple of firsts for the Swiss watchmaker: it was the first automatic chronograph and the first water-resistant watch with a square case.

2. Andrew Garfield and Jamie Dornan in Omega Speedmasters

Both actors wore variations of the same model, the Omega Speedmaster 57. The two were, in fact, pictured together showing off their timepieces. The Tick, Tick … Boom! actor opted for a black leather strap on his Speedmaster, which was recently re-released to celebrate the model’s 65th anniversary.

Meanwhile, the Belfast star went for the variant with a metal bracelet and a deep green dial. Underneath this piece is the Omega Co-Axial calibre 9300, the brand’s first in-house Coaxial chronograph with mechanical movements. As added trivia, the Speedmaster was present in all six lunar missions.
