Revealing The True Character Of OMEGA’s Inspiring Women

Revealing The True Character Of OMEGA’s Inspiring Women

Captured in a new series of black and white portraits and videos, the Swiss watchmaker OMEGA is revealing the unique personalities of its inspiring female ambassadors. In this intimate campaign, each woman is shown with her choice of watch – and the words she lives her life by.

My Choice is the latest continuation of OMEGA’s historic bond with women. For more than 100 years, the company has delivered ladies’ timepieces of true reliability, beauty and versatility – helping to support everyone from nurses and aviators, through to artists and actresses.

Today, OMEGA is proud to be represented around the world by a strong family of female stars. For the latest shoot, the brand was joined by the actresses Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz, So-hee Han and Dongyu Zhou as well as the models Kaia Gerber and Kiko Mizuhara, and legendary athlete Allyson Felix. Free to express themselves through style and words, each star was given the space to show their true character.

Spirit, talent, power and beauty. These gifted individuals from diverse backgrounds and multiple disciplines have all excelled in their own way. They share a drive to succeed, an openness to experience and an appreciation of quality.

The result brings together a selection of classic yet fast moving portraits. In front of the camera, they each show the woman they are today, yet also the confidence they have for the future. Wherever time takes them, as with women from all walks of life, OMEGA will be on hand to celebrate each hour.

RADO TRUE SQUARE UNDIGITAL

ARTISTIC INSTEAD OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE JAPANESE DESIGN DUO YOY

RADO TRUE SQUARE UNDIGITAL
RADO TRUE SQUARE UNDIGITAL

In the middle of the digital age, the Japanese design duo YOY is giving one of our best-known faces an update that is as contemporary as it is analogue. The True Square Undigital combines two real design icons. The angular bars of the digital display meet the square Rado ceramic watch. But not everything is as it seems at first glance… This watch is truly smart. And absolutely undigital.

The digital display and the square Rado ceramic watch: both were the epitome of futuristic designs in the 1980s. YOY likes to use such well-known greats and gives them a completely new meaning, creative, clever and humorous. Just like its vision of the Rado True Square. The Undigital plays with the distinctive shapes of the seven-segment display – the classic face of a digital watch – and transfers them to the analogue time display with hands. Luminous white Super-LumiNova clearly stands out, both during the day and in the dark, from the matt black dial, which has a completely puristic appearance.

The unique high-tech ceramic case of the True Square provides the appropriate setting and, thanks to its innovative monobloc construction, is ultra-flat at only 9.6 mm high. The matt black PVD-coated titanium back and the smooth, matt black high-tech ceramic bracelet also contribute to the low weight of the watch.

Style icons, contemporary design talents, innovative manufacturing technologies and high-tech materials that impress with a unique feel, durability and scratch resistance: the Rado True Square Undigital combines everything that makes Rado what it is. The watch is driven by a modern mechanical movement whose automatic winding is not only a work of art in itself but also a role model in terms of sustainability – in other words, completely undigital.
