OMEGA Trophy’s fourth swing in India, Abhishek Bachchan joins

Held in Gurugram earlier this month, the OMEGA Trophy returned for its fourth edition, bringing together accomplished golfers from across various Indian states. Reaffirming its long-standing commitment to the sport of honour — OMEGA extended its global association with golf to the local stage, turning the 18-hole DLF Golf and Country Club into an evening of elite dialogue, sportsmanship and camaraderie.

OMEGA’s ties to golf run deep. The maison has served as title sponsor of the OMEGA European Masters in Crans-Montana, Switzerland for decades and remains a visible advocate of the sport’s global calendar. It is also the preferred timepiece for golfing legends like Rory McIlroy. An OMEGA ambassador since 2013, Mcllroy aligns with the brand for its creative edge, meticulous craftsmanship and devotion to precision — the very values that echo the spirit of golf.

Now an annual tradition in India, this year’s OMEGA Trophy drew top golfers from across the country, alongwith Bollywood actor and Friend of the Brand Abhishek Bachchan and actress Mandira Bedi. Bachchan arrived wearing his wedding-watch — the OMEGA Cosmic Ref. 3944.

Later, he remarked to our GMT correspondent, that his OMEGA count is “well over 40.” Golfers were also spotted sporting a range of OMEGA models as they took their swings on the course.

Further building on its pursuit of precision and performance, OMEGA’s Master Chronometer certification underscores the shared values that link watchmaking with this sport. This technical excellence makes OMEGA a natural partner for athletes striving for achievement at every level.

One of OMEGA’s design philosophies is rooted in material innovation to solve problems. In 2012, the maison created Sedna™ Gold, its proprietary 18K rose-gold alloy engineered to resist fading — solving a long-standing industry challenge. This commitment continued with Moonshine™ Gold, a paler, high-durability yellow gold inspired by lunar light. By developing its own alloys in-house, OMEGA treats gold not as ornamentation but as a field for scientific advancement in modern watchmaking.
