In Industry, Marisa Abela’s Yasmin works in finance, is stinking rich, ruthless, and likes getting her own way. And last night, it was this thoroughly convincing performance that won Abela the BAFTA for best actress, fighting off stiff competition from Anna Maxwell Martin, Billie Piper, Sharon D. Clarke, Lola Petticrew, and Monica Dylan.
The TV BAFTAs are the kind of gig that gets actors belling up their UK 1:1 perfect replica watches plugs well in advance, especially anyone who’s up for the win. But in a swing away from Industry-esque banker flexes, Abela decided to go for something low-key instead of precious metals and full-on bling.
As Yasmin, we see Abela rocking a gold Tank Louis Cartier large. She doesn’t wear a Must or Tank Mini, she goes all in on Cartier’s legacy dress Swiss made copy watches. It’s pretty accurate, considering her character is the daughter of a disgraced publishing tycoon, who she shares a massive West London pad with. The Cartier Tank remains a favourite amongst quiet luxury collectors thanks to its ultra-classic design. It’s refined and elegant but still packs in some precious metal oomph, perfect for holding down against the Speedys and Submariners that swarm the trading floors of Pierpoint.
For the BAFTAS though, we clock her wearing something far more affordable (and way less showy): 27mm stainless steel best online fake Omega De Ville watches with burgundy dial on a matching burgundy strap. The leather strap paired with stainless steel keeps things elevated, but it’s still super wearable, with a highly legible time-only display peppered with Roman numerals and a smattering of diamonds.
Could Abela have gone for a crazy blinged-out cocktail watch? For sure. But there’s something sick about pulling up to the red carpet with a ticker like the De Ville Prestige, which you can wear on the daily. Omega introduced the De Ville Prestige back in 1994, as its modern take on the classic dress UK cheap super clone watches. It’s not your Speedmaster or Seamaster, the kind of beefy boy designed to push the boundaries of rugged timekeeping. Instead it’s clean and simple.
Can it handle the red carpet? Yes. But this is also the watch you can wear to the afterparty, and around town the day after. The high quality replica Omega watches are precious but not too precious, especially when you factor in a sub-£5000 price tag. To Marisa Abela, it’s extra precious – and now forever now associated with winning her first BAFTA. Mad-level wrist checks – who needs them? This is a real flex.
