OMEGA is one of the few watch brands in the world with a history and tradition that can compete with that of the noble sport of golf. Founded in 1848, 12 years before the first-ever British Open took place at the Prestwick Golf Club near Glasgow, OMEGA's involvement in international golf today includes tour and tournament sponsorship as well as official timekeeping. In 2007, OMEGA became the title sponsor of the Mission Hills World Cup, the oldest and most prestigious global golf team event in the world. The long-term contract guarantees that the tournament will take place at the Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, China through at least 2018. OMEGA's dedication to golf is also dedicated in its watchmaking: the Constellation Double Eagle Co-Axial Chronograph wristwatch, named for one of golf's rarest accomplishments, uniquely combines glamour and sport and appeals equally to luxury watch enthusiasts and fans of world-class golf.
