55 grams – OMEGA presents an ultra-light golf watch

The atmosphere was great and Crans Montana showed its best side last week – it was time for the OMEGA Masters. It was also the ideal opportunity to show the latest master stroke of the Swiss watch manufatory, an ultra-light golf watch: the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra “Ultra Light”.

A prestigious tournament in Crans Montana

The annual OMEGA Masters is the largest and most famous golf tournament in Switzerland and attracts numerous golf enthusiasts and spectators. This year, professional golfers and OMEGA brand ambassadors Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Tommy Fleetwood were on the course. But they were not the only talents in the spotlight: their teams also included Justin Timberlake, Niall Horan, Dennis Quaid, Anthony Mackie and Michael Peña.

I am proud to have played a role in the development of OMEGA’s Ultra Light golf watch. As an athlete, I know what a watch needs and through our collaboration we have been able to create this timepiece. It is an absolute pleasure to wear this watch, no matter what sport you play. – Rory McIlroy

55 grams – OMEGA presents an ultra-light golf watch

For every sportsman and athlete there are some components that play a central role in the choice of a watch: Weight, comfort and durability. It was the pioneering spirit and pursuit of perfection that drove OMEGA to develop the perfect timepiece for golf: a golf watch that feels comfortable and light at all times.

Ultralight due Titanium

The case, case back and crown are made of a special alloy called Gamma Titanium. This unique material is also used in the aerospace industry due to its highly resistant properties. It is also harder and lighter than conventional titanium.

The dial is made of sandblasted titanium and is reminiscent of the classic Aqua Terra design. The unique movement – 8928 TI – is also made of titanium to achieve the lowest possible weight of only 55 grams.

Maximum wearing comfort during sport

In golf, the smallest movement – even every millimetre – plays a central role in whether and where the ball flies or rolls. This makes the ideal wearing comfort all the more important when golfing. OMEGA has developed an ultra-light watch that is also comfortable to wear. For example, the telescopic crown can be inserted into the case for added comfort during play.
