21. It shows that omega is trying to reach every segment without being involved in one.

23. The majority of the advertisements picture male young adults. This shows that Omega really tries to increase recognition on this segment. Therefore communication is aimed at youth. One is a star today and tomorrow is forgotten. Brand is phenomenon that should find its roots in duration, which is pretty much the opposite of fashion. Therefore, omega rightly chooses to use multiple endorsement in order to avoid dependence on the ambassadors and diversify its risk of a bad celebrity away.
