Daniel Craig has made a flashback to his role as agent 007, where he wore an Omega watch . This time, the British actor and ambassador of the Swiss brand attended the New York Film Festival with a Speedmaster Day-Date 40 mm model , in red gold with a black dial.
The reason, in this case, was the American premiere of director Luca Guadagnino’s new film, Queer . Starring Craig, the film’s story is inspired by the story by William S. Burroughs and was presented this Tuesday at the NYFF (New York Film Festival).
Although in the secret agent saga starring Craig, the Briton sports different models from the Seamaster line ( Planet Ocean 600 and 300, and Aqua Terra , as well as other special editions), the Speedmaster model from the watchmaker that the actor has chosen for the occasion is as iconic as it is special.
Part of the collection (one of the most recognisable of the house, originally for its partnership with NASA on its most famous model, the Speedmaster Professional ), the 40mm Day-Date combines the historical legacy of chronographs with extras such as the day and date display, as well as other details such as the multiple subdials that make the calendars and indicators legible and balanced in proportion. In addition, this iconic high-performance and precision chronograph always enjoys a contemporary design, with a sapphire crystal that elegantly adapts to both sporty and more formal styles.
Furthermore, its size is ideal for adding a distinctive touch without abandoning the more discreet luxury or chronograph character that defines this watch in question. In this case, Craig combined it with a double-breasted grey suit, a black polo shirt and wine-coloured shoes for the premiere of his film, which opens today at the festival in the New York capital.
