A Classic Choice at the Oscars: Lewis Pullman’s Omega De Ville Prestige

This year’s carpet offered a little of everything. Kevin O’Leary made a statement by double-wristing a Cartier Crash alongside a ruby-set Rolex Daytona with a serti dial, embracing a loud and unmistakable look. Shaboozey appeared wearing the diamond-covered Chopard L’Heure du Diamant, a piece that blurs the line between watchmaking and high jewelry. Other attendees leaned toward enthusiast favorites, including Timothée Chalamet with the Urban Jürgensen UJ-2 and Felix Kammerer wearing the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin. Together, the watches on display reflected the many different directions watch collecting can take.

Among those choices, Lewis Pullman opted for something more traditional, wearing the Omega De Ville Prestige. Introduced in 1994, the De Ville Prestige collection has long represented Omega’s approach to classic dress watch design. Now in its third generation, the line continues to focus on refined proportions, balanced dials, and understated elegance.

The particular model seen on Pullman’s wrist features a 41 mm case crafted from 18K Sedna Gold, Omega’s proprietary rose gold alloy known for its warm tone and long-lasting color stability. The domed dark blue dial carries a sun-brushed finish that gives the watch much of its visual character. Alternating Roman numerals and cabochon indexes add a traditional touch, while the railway minute track around the outer edge reinforces the watch’s classical layout. A date window at three o’clock and a small-seconds subdial at six o’clock complete the display, maintaining symmetry while adding a subtle layer of detail.

Despite the relatively minimalist design, the dial is where the watch truly comes to life. The contrast between the deep blue background and the Sedna Gold colored hands and markers gives the watch presence without relying on oversized cases or elaborate complications.

Inside the watch is the Omega Master Co-Axial Calibre 8802, a movement certified as a Master Chronometer by the METAS. This certification ensures high standards for accuracy, performance, and resistance to magnetic fields. The movement can be viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback and features Omega’s Co-Axial escapement, a technology designed to improve long-term precision and durability.

Pullman paired the watch with a subtle and intentional take on formalwear, opting for a non-traditional combination of jacket, shirt, tie, and trousers that stood apart from the standard tuxedo. In that context, the De Ville Prestige felt like a natural fit. Its clean lines and balanced design complemented the look rather than competing with it, reinforcing the idea that a well-chosen dress watch can quietly elevate an outfit.
