Keegan Bradley Wins PGA Championship and Omega Seamaster Annual Calendar
In addition to $1.45 million, Keegan Bradley took home an Omega Seamaster Annual Calendar timepiece after winning the PGA Championship.
While Rolex and Audemars Piguet have always played a prominent role in professional gold, with player sponsorships and heavy advertisements, Omega is the official timing partner of the PGA Tour.
The PGA Championship was the first major that Omega officially played a role in so, of course, the champion, Keegan Bradley, was awarded a Seamaster Aqua Terra Annual Calendar in red gold.

Omega’s best known model may be the Speedmaster Professional (flight qualified by NASA for the Apollo missions, and the first watch worn on the moon) but the Seamaster watches aren’t far behind.
This week on AMC’s hit 1960s drama Mad Men, an OMEGA watch was featured during a key moment on the show.
On May 15, luxury Swiss watch brand OMEGA hosted a star-studded golf outing at the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles.
Fourteen-time olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, currently in Shanghai for the FINA World Championships, took some time before he began his final preparations for the competition to visit the OMEGA Boutique at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel.
The perpetual calendar is one of the best known complications in watchmaking and one of the most useful: it's a miniature computer that automatically corrects the date at the end of each month, since some months (as the children's rhyme reminds us) are 30 days long, and some 31.
Prestigious Swiss watchmaker OMEGA announced Wednesday, the 100-day mark of the pending London Summer Olympic games, that it will be the Official Timekeeper of the games for the 25th time.
Patents and intellectual property are key factors in the Watchmaking business, and Omega has targeted their sights on competitor Seagull.
As the Official Timekeeper of the London 2012 Olympic Games, OMEGA will host an exclusive residence for members and guests to see and be seen.
