Reigns in Desert

Sergio Garcia makes it a dozen in the desert by claiming his 12th European Tour title as he completed a dominant wire-to-wire win at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic 2017

Garcia celebrated his 250th European Tour appearance in some style, claiming his first win since the 2014 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters

Garcia’s victory means a trophy, winner's cheque and a brand-new OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Master Co-Axial. The timepiece features an 18K red gold case, brown leather strap, and the OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibre 8501, that boasts exquisite reliability and precision. As well as featuring the Aqua Terra’s teak patterned dial, the watch is also able to resist strong magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss.

Omega President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann said: “Congratulations to our ambassador Sergio Garcia on his win and for treating us all to world class golf. It's been a thrill from the first tee off. At Omega we are very proud to be part of this fantastic event, which is a real highlight of the golfing year. Best wishes to everyone from Omega to our friend Sergio Garcia".

Furthermore, Omega has publicly announced its ongoing support for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic and renews its commitment to the “Major of the Middle East”. For more than 25 years, the tournament has been a celebration of golfing excellence and Omega has served as title sponsor since 2010. This is also the eighth year that the Swiss watch brand has been the title sponsor.
