Omega Seamaster Signed by Rory McIlroy to be Auctioned for Charity

This week golfer Rory McIlroy took time out from the PGA Championship in Rochester, New York, to visit the tent of luxury watchmaker Omega. McIlroy, who is a brand ambassador for the Swiss manufacture, stopped by the “Precision Experience” Co-Axial exhibit in Omega’s hospitality tent at the PGA to support a good cause.

McIlroy signed the watch certificate and watch box of the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M “Golf”, which features his signature metallised on the inner surface of the sapphire crystal caseback. The timepiece, certificate and box will be auctioned off in support of The Rory Foundation, which supports children’s charities around the world.

Haute horlogerie collectors and golf fans can place a bid on this one-of-a-kind timepiece by writing an e-mail to Omega5thAve@swatchgroup.com while bidding is open from August 7th to the 17th. The starting bid has been set at $5,500.
