Pierre Niney x OMEGA: a new alliance between cinema and prestige watchmaking

Pierre Niney joins OMEGA as a Friend of the Brand. He embodies a new stage in the dialogue between watchmaking elegance and cinematic art. A collaboration which has all the makings of a perfect match.

Pierre Niney, the ideal icon for Omega

Revealed by his role in Yves Saint Laurent (2014), Pierre Niney is rapidly establishing himself as one of cinema’s major talents. His charisma, rigor and versatility have made him a key figure in current French cinema, and his career, from Frantz to Monte Cristo, reflects the high artistic standards that resonate with OMEGA’s values.

It was on the red carpet of the César Awards 2025, when he was representing The Count of Monte Cristo, that Pierre Niney showed his attachment to the brand by wearing a Speedmaster Moonwatch (ref. 310.32.42.50.01.002), the cult watch that accompanied NASA’s lunar missions. A legendary model, as iconic as the actor’s understated elegance.

Exceptional muses for a heritage brand

Today, OMEGA is making this natural affinity official by welcoming Pierre Niney as a Friend of the Brand. He joins a very select circle which already includes George Clooney, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig – all renowned for their talent and commitment to values of excellence.

To mark the occasion, Pierre Niney was photographed wearing the Railmaster 38 mm in steel, with its black gradient grey dial (ref. 235.10.38.20.06.001). A model that perfectly reflects his style: sober, timeless, yet resolutely modern. The Railmaster is a tribute to the brand’s technical roots, designed to withstand magnetic fields and combine innovation and heritage.

The actor reflects a new generation of ambassadors

With Pierre Niney, OMEGA continues to explore a rich cultural universe, combining watchmaking tradition and artistic influence. Far from forced stylistic effects, this partnership seems sincere and coherent, carried by an actor who embodies high standards, modernity and a form of intellectual elegance – in the image of what OMEGA has represented for over a century.
