It's sort of tough to tell in the photos that I've found on Getty, but I think he's wearing the limited Omega De Ville Tourbillon?

No, it's not one I've seen him wear before.

That looks like it...I could see the middle movement moving when he was doing post round interview. I see that thing costs a couple shekels...lol

The WRX machine doesn't disappoint....TY

^I saw this a while back, Rory comes on at the end and talks a little bit about it. He says it was a gift to himself after winning the 2019 FedEx (although I bet Omega didn't make him pay retail lol).

 

Editing to add: wow am I getting a lot of watch ads right now!

You'd be surprised. Most high end watch company brand ambassadors aren't getting free watches. They are simply allowed the availability to purchase watches that most people can't get access to (without waiting years or decades).

 

There are a lot of people who are more famous that Rory and have A LOT more money than Rory that not only have to pay full price for the watch but also have to wait years for certain ones to become available.

 

Jack did a video a few years back discussing the Rolex he owns. He was a Rolex brand ambassador and said he got to pick one watch from them as a gift. Anything else he wanted had to pay full price for.

Michael Kim chimed in on Rolex on Twitter/X and said they give credits for watches.  I've heard from others that validate your point: you get access to inventory that others have to wait years for.
