Rare & New Designer Watches From Omega & More

While all eyes were on the bold sartorial statements made by A-list guests and celebrity attendees at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday night in New York City, designer timepieces also had a major moment. Brands like Omega, Audemars Piguet, Cartier and more were represented in full force on the red carpet at the annual gala ahead of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition.

Nicole Kidman continued to support Omega as a brand ambassador by donning a delicate timepiece that coordinated seamlessly with her Met Gala look. Meanwhile, Serena Williams‘ watch was hidden beneath her voluminous coat.

Ahead, WWD breaks down more designer watch moments at the 2025 Met Gala.

Serena Williams Wearing Audemars Piguet

Serena Williams styled the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini Frosted, in white gold. The timepiece is a newly launched watch for 2025. The designer watch was hidden beneath the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s voluminous coat, which coordinated with her custom Moncler dress with sheer detailing. Williams was styled by Edward Enninful.

Nicole Kidman Wearing Omega

Nicole Kidman styled the Omega Ladymatic “Saphette” timepiece from 1969, crafted in 18K white gold with a delicate black corded fabric bracelet. Per Omega, the moniker for the timepiece references the sparkling sapphire crystal on the face, facetted like a diamond solitaire.

On the inside of the timepiece, it houses the legendary Ladymatic movement, which was the world’s smallest rotor-equipped automatic calibre at the time of its launch in 1955. Kidman wore a strapless custom Balenciaga Couture dress. The Omega ambassador was styled by Jason Bolden.

Henry Golding Wearing Cartier

Henry Golding opted for a timepiece courtesy of Cartier to go with his bold black and gold suit. The “Another Simple Favor” actor wore the Cartier Tank à Guichets timepiece in a shade of yellow gold with digital display. The timepiece was reintroduced at the annual Watches & Wonders 2025 event.

Doechii Wearing Tiffany & Co.

Doechii added sparkle to her Louis Vuitton look with a timepiece courtesy of Tiffany & Co. The “Anxiety” artist wore the Tiffany Eternity watch in 18k gold with diamonds and mother-of-pearl. She further accessorized her look with a Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Starlight brooch in platinum and 18k yellow gold with a Fancy Intense Yellow diamond of over 12 carats and white diamond accents and a Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany Butterfly ring with a Fancy Intense Yellow diamond of over 8 carats. Doechii was styled by Sam Woolf.

Colman Domingo Wearing Omega

Colman Domingo, who served as a co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala, wore an unreleased Speedmaster watch in 18K gold. The two-time Oscar-nominated actor wore a black and white suit courtesy of Valentino. Beforehand, he donned a regal blue cape with jeweled elements by the Italian luxury fashion label.

Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles joined the likes of Colman Domingo and Nicole Kidman, wearing an Omega timepiece. The Omega Sports Ambassador wore the Omega De Ville Prestige 40 mm in yellow gold on a leather strap. Lyles also wore a Thom Browne suit and Ana Khouri jewelry.

The 2025 Met Gala, held Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The event highlights Black dandyism and menswear, with a “Tailored for You” dress code.
