Daniel Craig officially an Omega Ambassador now..
« on: March 25, 2011, 11:42:45 AM »
So no more wearing his cool collection of custom and vintage Rolexes anymore?

As long as his contract is still ongoing with Omega, I guess he got to keep his Rolexes in cold storage.

Its only for official functions i think.
Unless Omega paying him mega bucks to wear that brand 24/7 which i think is not likely.

I doubt it. Charlize Theron was sued by Raymond Weil for 20 million for wearing a Dior in public while under contract with them.

I think it's an exclusive contact when u become a brand ambassador. U must be seen wearing the product 24/7

Omega expected to pay him mega bucks regardless if he's wearing omega 24/7 or not.

Truth or assumption?

On other notes, I think it would more likely be limited to public functions and events. On personal time basis maybe not unless he get's a wide range to pick and choose everyday...

I think if Omega made him the brand ambassador, don't they provide him with a line of omega watches to wear?
From sports to dress to casual models so he can choose whatever he wants, as long as it's an Omega.

Omega's marketing is aimed at the younger (below 40) crowd. With Daniel Craig now onboard, I wish they would kick out Zhang ZiYi as their brand ambassador and rope in more prominant asians like Jay Chou instead.

With all due respect to Mr. Jay Chou but it's not for Omega.
That's when you wanna rope in teenagers.
I would love for Tony Leung Chiu Wai to represent Omega since his wife is the brand ambassador for Longines, all under swatch group. Shouldn't be any problem i guess?

Yeah Tony Leung would be a great candidate for their AT or DeVille line. One of  the more recognizable faces both in the western and eastern world

But Tony Leong would attract old women in their 40-50's. Don't want to turn Omega, which is a upbeat brand into another Cartier (watch of choice for Tai-tai's)..

I think that as "upbeat" as Omega is, they still need to aim at people who can afford their products.
I mention Tony Leung because to me, he is universal... the epitome of style, cool and grace.
Sort of like the the Asian George Clooney. (This is just my opinion k?)
Women wants to be with him and men wants to be like him.
If Tony Leung would attract rich tai tais to the brand, I guess Omega will be happier... coz tai tais won't be wearing a PO or a Speedy, if they get atrracted to the brand, tai tais will go for the constellation line that cater for them.
If Carina Lau's contract with Longines were to expire and she together with Tony Leong would be brand ambassador for Omega... that would be the perfect partnership.

ehhhh..no offense but i think to the 40's-50s tai-tai... Fei Xiang rocks their boat better than Tony Leung.

but honestly Omega should make Jeremy Clarkson as a brand ambassador because he's a big Omega fanboy.

he sports PO, SM, RM in Top Gear. not to mention in his books he disses Rolex too,,

He does not need to be the "Official" Ambassador then, he's already doing it for free...  :Laughing_on_floor:
