Watching Movies: Ryan Gosling Sings, Dances, And Wears A Vintage Omega In ‘La La Land’
He wears a small, and seemingly gold, 34mm Omega with applied 12, three, six, and nine markers on a leather strap. I’ve written about old Omega watches from the 1940s and ’50s in the past, and one thing I know about those watches is that they were plentiful. Many confuse these for early Seamasters (also plentiful in those days), but in fact, Gosling’s watch is a simple Omega logo-only and time-only piece. Obviously, without seeing it in person, it’s impossible to deduce exactly what this vintage piece is. That being said, there is enough by way of the overall aesthetic elements to make me comfortable in identifying it as something in the universe of a mid-century Omega “Trésor.”
