Eddie has risen to stardom in recent years with unforgettable performances both on
stage and in film. He won a Tony Award for Best Actor in 2013 for his performance in Red,

recognition in 2014 for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in the renowned bio-pic The
Theory Of Everything, for which he won the Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors
Guild Award for Best Actor.



He reunited with director Tom Hooper for his upcoming role in The Danish Girl.

Eddie to the OMEGA family. He brings true elegance and integrity, and is incredibly humble
about his success - something that sits perfectly with the OMEGA spirit. We very much look
forward to working together.'



Eddie himself is also thrilled by the opportunity, remarking - 'I have worn OMEGA for
a number of years, so to be made an official ambassador for the brand on a global level is
very exciting. To join a brand whose own credentials include the only watch to be
officially certified by NASA, and the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games is an
honour.'
