The Best Watches from the 2026 Oscars

• The 98th Oscars red carpet showcased rare and expensive luxury watches.
• Leonardo DiCaprio wore a stunning Platinum Rolex 1908.
• Kevin O’Leary double-wristed a rare Rolex Daytona and Cartier Crash.
• Pedro Pascal stood out wearing an elegant Chanel BOY·FRIEND watch.
• Brands like Hublot, Audemars Piguet, and Bulgari dominated the red carpet.

The watch calendar starts with the Golden Globes, hits its stride with the Grammys, but the main event is the 98th Oscars, and this year’s awards delivered.

If the highlight of the Grammys was the lack of high-end, all-star watches, the Oscars rewrote the script with expensive, rare, sought-after timepieces worn by the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kieran Culkin, and Arón Piper. However, the fight for the Oscars watch crown is a showdown of taste between Marty Supreme star Kevin O’Leary, who double-wristed two of the rarest watches on the carpet in a Platinum Cartier Crash and Ruby Rolex Daytona, and Pedro Pascal, who rocked a fresh Chanel BOY FRIEND.

While Rolex had the Greenroom locked down as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the iconic Rolex Oyster, and a Daytona reference 126508 in a gold-and-green hue on display, the carpet was a different story. Audemars Piguet, Hublot, and Bulgari all stood out. Let’s take a look at the best 2026 Oscars watches.
