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.
