The Oscars 2022 was a memorable event in many ways, including when it came to watches. Because while fashion bloggers were eyeing the gallant gowns and beauty fans the glamorous makeups of the stars on the red carpet, there was also plenty for watch connoisseurs to see. Find out which luxury watches the celebs used to complete their looks for the Oscars 2022 in this article.
Rami Malek and Jake Gyllenhaal wear their Cartier Tank watches
What could have been embarrassing when it comes to suits, only speaks to their popularity when it comes to watches: two stars wore the same model at the Oscars 2022. We are talking about actor Rami Malek – known, among other things, for his impersonation of Freddie Mercury in the hit film “Bohemian Rhapsody” – and actor and producer Jake Gyllenhaal, who was already nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for his supporting role in “Brokeback Mountain”. Both gentlemen decided to wear their Cartier Tank watches to this year’s Oscars, and it’s hard to say which star looks better in the exquisite model.

US actress Tati Gabrielle, known from successful Netflix productions such as “The 100”, graced the red carpet in a white gown with gold highlights.

Simu Liu’s banging look with Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M
If you thought only female celebrities were allowed to go all out with extravagant outfits at prestigious events, Simu Liu will prove you wrong. The Canadian actor and stuntman caught everyone’s attention with a deep red suit, demonstrating both style and colour. To top off the dazzling look, he adorned his wrist with an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M in magnificent yellow gold. Despite the undoubtedly first-class suit, we would definitely call the watch the true protagonist and biggest eye-catcher of this gaudy outfit.
DJ Khaled beams with the Jacob & Co. Billionaire
Glittery, glitterier, DJ Khaled: if an award had been given out at the 2022 Oscars for the star with the most sparkly watch, DJ Khaled would probably have won by far. The US DJ, music producer and actor opted for black simplicity in his suit – unlike his watch! The Jacob & Co. Billionaire, which the 46-year-old wore, is set with several high-carat diamonds and is exactly what is meant when people talk about a real luxury watch. When you browse through the pictures of the award ceremony, there is only one question: Who shines more – DJ Khaled or his gorgeous watch?
Jacob Elordi shows off Tag Heuer Monaco
Jacob Elordi, actor and star of the hit series “Euphoria”, did not compromise on his choice of watch for the Oscars 2022. The Australian wore a Tag Heuer Monaco – a true classic that once rose to the Olympus of watches thanks to Steve McQueen.

Nicole Kidman has been regarded as a true style icon for years and never fails to impress with her appearances in harmonious, obviously high-quality and sometimes extravagant outfits.

Kodi Smit-McPhee goes stylishly for Cartier
In keeping with the spring season, many people prefer to wear clothes in cheerful pastel shades. That’s probably how actor Kodi Smit-McPhee feels, at least judging by his Oscar outfit. The 25-year-old, who achieved fame as a child and starred alongside Franka Potente in “Under the Australian Sun” in 2007, for example, brought a breath of fresh air to the red carpet in a pale blue suit. The entire look was refreshingly youthful and extremely modern and was rounded off by a luxurious watch from Cartier. The timepiece was custom-made for Smit-McPhee and featured an unusual snow globe effect.
Omega Constellation and Ariana DeBose as a dream team
Actress and musical performer Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in “West Side Story”, attended the event wearing all red.

Shaun White poses with his Omega Speedmaster
What might have attracted negative attention and been considered inappropriate a few years ago is now a sign of modernity and style consciousness: Wearing sporty watches at exclusive events. Shaun White, who in addition to acting is a professional snowboarder and skateboarder, shows how it’s done. In terms of watches, the 35-year-old American opted for a Speedmaster from Omega, i.e. an absolutely sporty model. White’s model is distinguished by a noble gold tone, which makes the watch “Oscar-worthy”.
Oscars 2022: Luxurious spectacle of the watches
In summary, the Oscars 2022 can be described as a truly luxurious spectacle of watches. Even though the focus of the event was naturally on the performances of the actors and actresses, many a watch on the wrists of the stars deserved its own spotlight.
