Daniel Dae Kim wears an Omega Speedmaster

Daniel Dae Kim wore his own Omega Speedmaster #SpeedyTuesday II Ultraman in Stowaway (2021), Joe Penna's Netflix film about a three-person crew heading to Mars who discover a launch engineer accidentally trapped on board, leaving the life support system short for four. Kim plays biologist David Kim, and he is a watch collector in real life. Omega supplied the specific piece for the production and provided an extra-long NATO strap for the EVA scene, where Kim's character wears the Speedmaster on his right wrist over his spacesuit — the same placement the Apollo astronauts used.

The #SpeedyTuesday II Ultraman is a limited edition that Omega produced in collaboration with Fratello Watches, referencing the orange-accented 1967 Ultraman Speedmaster. Putting it in a space film connects to the Speedmaster's actual history as NASA flight hardware while also being a nod to the watch community that would notice. Kim's character wears it prominently in one scene and briefly in others, which suggests the production valued accuracy without turning it into advertising. A collector's watch in a film about scarcity, worn by an actor who collects the brand he is wearing.
