The Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Omega Partnership

Omega has officially made Aaron Taylor-Johnson its new ambassador, and the announcement has caught everyone’s attention on social media. The process of casting a new James Bond actor has always been mysterious, but fans have always been up to the task of trying to find the identity of the cast, sparking a trail of speculation in the process as well. While social media was full of speculation, a visibly elated Aaron Taylor-Johnson shared his delight at the announcement by saying:

"I have always had an appreciation for timepieces but especially for Omega. Now after visiting the factory, I am in awe of the skill required to manufacture such a luxurious product."

Aaron Taylor-Johnson then went on to narrate a touching anecdote from his childhood that makes the occasion even more special for him:

"I place significant value on relationships that are genuine and built on mutual passion and respect. With that, it’s a tremendous honor to be selected as a Brand Ambassador. My interest in watches first began with my dad who introduced me to Omega, if you can believe it. He was working class and saved his earnings to purchase an Omega watch”

Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, also showered Aaron with praise while welcoming him aboard the Omega ship:

"Aaron is such a versatile actor, with a range that covers action, thriller, romance and much more. At OMEGA, we’ve always been impressed by that all-around quality, and his pioneering approach to so many roles. His passion for watches is also clear, so we’re delighted to welcome him as a new ambassador and share the excitement of our latest creations.”

Even though internet rumors about the new James Bond are circulating, there seems to be some basis to Aaron’s name. There’s a reason for the buzz, as Pierce Brosnan, of all people, has given the actor his own ringing endorsement. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson remaining the sentimental favorite to land the role of James Bond, his partnership with Omega has only intensified the speculation.

The partnership has also built up the anticipation for the next movie, and it seems like the rumor mills will keep spinning till the time we get the official announcement of the cast for the next James Bond movie.
