This year’s OMEGA Masters has reached its conclusion in Switzerland, with Thriston Lawrence claiming the winner’s trophy.
The player from South Africa finished at the top of the leaderboard on Sunday, ahead of some very impressive competition, which included OMEGA’s own golfing ambassadors Miguel Angel Jiménez, Matt Wallace, Rasmus Hojgaard, Nicolai Hojgaard, and Danny Willett.
Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA said, “The golf in Crans-Montana this year has been another wonderful display of quality and entertainment. We love to see how the value of precision can make all the difference in each round, and how every player strives to achieve their own high standards. We congratulate Thriston Lawrence, who proved what it takes to win, and we thank everyone for making this year’s tournament such a success.”
For his winner’s watch, Thriston Lawrence was presented with an OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra. The 41 mm timepiece is crafted in OMEGA’s exclusive 18K Moonshine™ Gold and features a PVD green dial with “teak” pattern stripes inspired by the decks of luxury sailboats. Worn on a green rubber strap, it is driven by a superb Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement, with a standard of precision that any golfer would be proud of.
Originally called the Swiss Open when it was first played in 1923, the OMEGA Masters has remained at the same venue since 1939, making it the oldest golf tournament in Europe to be played on the same course every year. OMEGA claimed the naming rights in 2001 and now considers the event to be one of the most important on its sporting calendar.
