Abhishek, who was appointed as the face of Omega in India in 2006, has worn a black leather strap watch from the Swiss brand throughout the film.
"Abhishek had a piece from the independence struggle period in his Omega collection, so he decided it would be appropriate to wear it, " said a source close to the actor.
The 34-year-old plays a freedom fighter in Ashutosh Gowariker's "Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey", based on the Chittagong uprising of 1930s. The film releases Friday.
