Golfer Rory Mcllroy spotted wearing Omega

Rory McIlroy, the world-famous Northern Irish golfer, recently paid tribute to his friend and fellow golfer Tiger Woods in a unique way. At the WGC-Workday Championship, McIlroy donned a red jersey – a color that Woods always dons on the final day of golf tournaments. The significance is to honor Woods, who was involved in a serious car accident just a few days ago.

Apart from the jersey, McIlroy also sported a timepiece which caught the eye of many of his fans. On his wrist was a stainless steel Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph with an Aventurine dial, a stunning piece of watchmaking that is steeped in history.

The Omega Speedmaster is a legend in the watch world and is best known for its connection to the Apollo moon missions. It was worn by the astronauts of all six lunar missions and was the only watch certified by NASA for space travel. The watch has since become synonymous with space and exploration.

The watch McIlroy wore boasts a fourth sub-dial at the 12 o'clock position that is specifically designed to showcase the Moon's phases. The sub-dial features a Mother-of-Pearl moon phase and a date indicator. It's a unique addition to the watch and is a fitting tribute to the legendary Omega Speedmaster.

The model that McIlroy wore has been discontinued, but for watch collectors interested in acquiring it, it's the Omega Speedmaster's Ref. 311.30.44.32.01.001. It was priced at €9.400 before discontinuation.

In conclusion, McIlroy's choice of attire and timepiece during the WGC-Workday Championship not only showed his respect for Woods but also highlighted his appreciation for an iconic watch that has become synonymous with space and exploration. The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Chronograph is a masterpiece appreciated by watch enthusiasts worldwide.
