WatchPro’s February 17, 2025 roundup identified 12 watches worn by attendees at the 78th EE BAFTA Film Awards. The selection ranges from gem-set gold dress watches to sports chronographs and an unusually animated Richard Mille; it is WatchPro’s editorial roundup, not an official BAFTA award or an independent authentication of the watches.
What the 2025 BAFTAs watch list represents
The ceremony took place on February 16, 2025, at London’s Royal Festival Hall, with David Tennant hosting. BAFTA announced the host and UK broadcast plans on February 13, and published an official event photo gallery on February 18. Those BAFTA materials document the event, but do not identify the watches. The model identifications and specifications below are attributed to WatchPro’s roundup by Ella Kirby, published February 17, 2025.
The twelve reported choices show different approaches to formal styling: precious metals and gemstones, restrained dress-watch profiles, recognizable sports-watch designs and complications designed to draw attention. WatchPro did not provide a complete set of exact reference numbers, current prices or current availability, so this is a red-carpet overview rather than a buying guide.
WatchPro’s 12 reported watch standouts
Jeff Goldblum — Vacheron Constantin Égérie Creative Edition
WatchPro identified Goldblum’s watch as a 37 mm white-gold Égérie Creative Edition. Its reported details combine tapestry work, engraving, enameling and gem setting, with more than four carats of diamonds. The result stands out for its layered decorative treatment rather than a conventional plain dress-watch dial.

Simon Pegg — Zenith DEFY Skyline Chronograph
Pegg’s reported choice is a 42 mm chronograph in an octagonal case. WatchPro names the El Primero 3600 calibre and highlights its 1/10-second precision, giving the watch a technical, sporty contrast to the more jewelry-focused pieces on the list.
Vanessa Williams — Bvlgari Serpenti Secret
WatchPro describes Williams’s Serpenti Secret as a manual-winding watch with an 18K white- and yellow-gold case, pear-cut emeralds and diamonds. Its precious-metal mix and colored stones make it one of the roundup’s most visibly ornamental selections.

James McAvoy — IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar
McAvoy’s reported Portugieser Perpetual Calendar pairs an 18K Armor Gold case with an Obsidian dial. WatchPro says the dial takes 60 steps to make and receives 15 transparent-lacquer layers, a production detail that helps explain the depth and finish emphasized in the identification.
Orlando Bloom — Porsche Design Chronograph 1 Automatic
WatchPro connects Bloom’s Chronograph 1 Automatic to the original 1972 design. It also notes a sapphire-crystal case back through which the movement and winding rotor can be seen, adding a mechanical display to the watch’s historically rooted styling.
Rank #3
- PROFESSIONAL DIVE PERFORMANCE – Water-resistant up to 600 m / 2,000 ft for demanding underwater use.
- POWERMATIC 80 MOVEMENT – Swiss automatic movement with up to 80 hours of power reserve.

- SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL – Domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with antireflective coating for enhanced clarity.
- BUILT FOR ADVENTURE – Stainless steel case, screw-down crown, helium valve, and durable black rubber strap.
Edward Berger — Omega De Ville Trésor
The reported De Ville Trésor has a 40 mm 18K Sedna-gold case and burgundy leather strap. WatchPro characterizes the Trésor line by its thin, elegant case, a profile that suits formalwear without relying on a large sports-watch silhouette.
Jeremy Strong — Richard Mille RM 63-01 Automatic Winding Dizzy Hands
Strong’s reported watch has one of the list’s most unusual interactions. WatchPro explains that pressing the crown rotates the sapphire-glass dial anticlockwise while the hour hand moves clockwise at differing speeds. That motion is the source of the “Dizzy Hands” name and turns time display into a kinetic feature.
Rank #4
- From Bulova's Men's Marine Star Collection, live and play in maritime watches that feature bold accents, iconic patterns and innovative materials inspired by the sea.
- 6 Hand, 1/20 Second Chronograph Measures up to 60 Minutes, Calendar, Small Second Hand

Guy Pearce — Omega Speedmaster ’57
WatchPro identifies Pearce’s watch as a 40.50 mm steel Speedmaster ’57 with a manual-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906. The publication reports METAS certification and magnetic-field resistance up to 15,000 gauss. It does not specify an exact reference number, so the identification should not be treated as a confirmed match to any particular current retail listing.
Will Sharpe — Montblanc Star Legacy Moonphase & Date
Sharpe’s reported Star Legacy Moonphase & Date combines the collection’s exploding-star guilloché pattern with a blue seconds hand. WatchPro also notes 34 diamonds framing the date wheel, a detail that brings jewelry-like decoration to a watch with a calendar display.

WatchPro describes Patel’s watch as a rare midsize 18K yellow-gold Tank Normale from 1973, with a 20.5 mm case and manual-winding LeCoultre Co. K840 movement. Its London dial has chemin de fer detailing, linking a compact Tank profile with a specific dial treatment.

The roundup covers several distinct watchmaking approaches rather than one dominant red-carpet style:
The Tool Desk
Outbyte PC Repair FREEClear out junk files and repair common Windows errorsFree Scan →Outbyte Driver Updater FREEFix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitchesFind Drivers →- Gemstones and precious metals: Goldblum’s diamond-heavy Égérie Creative Edition and Williams’s emerald-and-diamond Serpenti Secret foreground decoration; the reported Cartier Tank Française on Stan also adds diamonds to a gold case.
- Complications and mechanical display: Pegg’s Zenith emphasizes 1/10-second chronograph precision, Strong’s Richard Mille makes the dial itself rotate, and McAvoy’s Portugieser is a perpetual calendar.
- Sport and heritage: Bloom’s Porsche Design draws on the 1972 Chronograph 1, while Pearce’s Speedmaster ’57 and Poulter’s ceramic Hublot offer more overtly sporty profiles.
- Formal restraint: Berger’s thin-profile De Ville Trésor and Patel’s compact Tank Normale illustrate how a dress watch can stand out through proportion, material or dial details instead of size.
