Marisa Abela’s portrayal of Yasmin in Industry earned her the BAFTA for Best Actress last night, a role that showcased her character’s ruthless nature, wealth, and drive. Yasmin works in finance, and her performance captivated audiences, ultimately outshining competitors like Anna Maxwell Martin and Billie Piper.
While the BAFTA ceremony often sees nominees flaunting expensive watches, Abela took a more understated approach, opting for a subtle yet elegant choice. Instead of wearing a flashy piece, Abela chose a classic 27mm stainless steel Omega De Ville Prestige with a burgundy dial and matching strap for the occasion.
The watch, which features Roman numerals and a few diamonds, is refined yet practical—far from the showy luxury watches often seen on the red carpet. Unlike her character Yasmin, who favors the extravagant Cartier Tank Louis, Abela’s choice reflects a more grounded, wearable style. The Omega De Ville Prestige, launched in 1994, offers a modern twist on the classic dress watch. It’s simple, clean, and perfect for both formal events and everyday wear.
While a more expensive or blinged-out timepiece might have been expected, Abela’s Omega is both affordable and sophisticated, with a price tag under £5000. For Abela, it’s now forever tied to her first BAFTA win—a true flex in its own right.
