Official timekeeper of the PGA of America and historical timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, we no longer present Omega, the famous Swiss watch brand whose Golf ambassador is none other than the former world n ° 1 Rory McIlroy, the current 2nd world player .

The Irish happy winner of the last British Open Championship, is now part of the very closed club of three players in history to have won three Majors at 25, making two eagles on the last three holes. Mc Ilroy pocketed the $ XNUMX million award and lifted his trophy with an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra GMT on his wrist, which epitomizes the eponymous sport.

It is indeed to celebrate its increasingly important presence in the world of golf that Omega has created the Aqua Terra "Golf". The green “Seamaster” logo in transfer and the color-matched numerals on the minute track are reminiscent of the green courses on which the greatest tournaments take place. The minute track is also distinguished by its green-varnished second hand. The Seamaster Aqua Terra “Golf” is powered by the Omega Master Co-Axial 8500 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement.

The reliability and precision of the movement are such that each watch has a full four-year warranty. The hour hand can be set independently of the minute and second hand, allowing travelers to easily set their watches when changing to another time zone. A must have for professional golfers!

  • Since 1962, OMEGA has accompanied astronauts in space. First watch ever worn on the moon, in 1969, the Speedmaster inherited a nickname: the Moonwatch.

As a partner of the PGA of America, Omega serves as the Official Timekeeper of the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup, when the latter is held on American soil. In addition to these PGA tournaments, it acts as the main sponsor and Official Timekeeper of major golf competitions in Europe and the Middle East. She also counts among her circle of ambassadors a selection of elite golfers who participate in the most important circuits. Each of them has helped to raise the level of the overall game and promote the growth of golf worldwide.

From the legendary Greg Norman to the best players of the American and European tour that are Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Stacy Lewis and Michelle Wie, through the stars of tomorrow like Harris English and SY Noh… This series of champions is part of the Omega family.

Among women, Stacy Lewis: true star of the LPGA tour, is a role model for many golf enthusiasts. Affected during her youth with a pathology potentially disabling for the practice of golf, she had to redouble her efforts to break through on the circuit. At 18, the player underwent a major operation to treat scoliosis she had suffered from since the age of 11. After months of rehabilitation, Stacy Lewis will undoubtedly remain the first and only golfer in the world to win a Grand Slam tournament after suffering a fusion of the vertebrae.

In 2011, the American won her first major, followed by four more victories in 2012. This list earned her the prestigious title of Player of the Year on the LPGA Tour, a distinction that no American had received for 18 years. .

We can also quote Michelle Wie, one of the most iconic players on the world circuit. At the age of 10, she became the youngest golfer in history to qualify for the USGA Amateur Championship. In 2003, at age 13, she was the youngest golfer to compete in an LPGA Tour tournament. The same year is the youngest winner in the history of the American public links amateur women's tournament.

In November 2009, Michelle Wie won her first title on the LPGA circuit but also the Solheim Cup with the American team. For several years, Michelle spent her golfing career and her studies at Stanford University concurrently. In 2012, she obtained her diploma in communication. In 2014, she signed her first major at the US Women's Open Championship.

Omega also counts Shanshan Feng, among its ambassadors. The first Chinese golfer to join the LPGA, she has established herself over the years as one of the most formidable competitors on the circuit, offering her country a first Grand Slam title in 2012, by winning the LPGA Championship. Shanshan Feng started golf at a young age. Her father, who worked at the Canton Golf Club, introduced her to the joys of the fairways at the age of 10.

Omega's presence in the world of golf thus continues to grow. The watchmaking house will be at work as Official Timekeeper in 2016 in Brazil, when the sport returns to the Olympic Games for the first time in over a century!

Golf had made its debut at the Olympic Games in 1900 in Paris, a second appearance during the 1904 Olympic Games in Saint-Louis, in the United States. His presence on the program of the most prestigious sports gathering in the world vividly confirms that he is truly one of the sports whose practice is now the most globalized.

The Omega brand with international influence is also official supplier to NASA with the legendary "Moonwach" the Speedmaster whose name alone sounds like a legend who has equipped entire generations of adventurers and top athletes. Finally, she is the partner of Her Majesty's most famous spy, James Bond 007, wearing the Seamaster 300 Specter Limited Edition on her wrist. The latest addition to the brand comes out in September 2015 in a limited edition of… 7007 copies !!
