Golf is a game that combines science and finesse. It’s where precision meets art. Where unforgiving physics is tested by raw instincts. A watchmaker faces similar challenges. Technology combines with aesthetics. Precision on the most miniature scale must be woven into the vision of an artisan.

Golfers have likely carried watches since the earliest days in Scotland. But for most of history, the watches did the only thing a watch could do tell the golfer what time it is.

Today, modern watches let golfers see hazards hiding behind a tree. A golfer can now get a bird’s eye view of the hole while checking windspeed. All while looking their best.

To celebrate National Golf Month, we have picked out some of our favorite watches perfect for looking sophisticated and stylish on the green.

Women’s Watches

OMEGA Ladies Speedmaster Chronograph 38MM

This is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. OMEGA’s Speedmaster was a part of all six lunar missions in the late 60s and early 70s. It speaks to OMEGA’s adventurous pioneering spirit. In this version, you’ll find a mother-of-pearl dial with a date window at the 6-o’clock position and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The diamond-set bezel is mounted on a 38mm stainless steel case, with a stainless-steel bracelet. But it’s the heart of this watch that makes it an OMEGA. Inside is OMEGA’s calibre 3304.

From the highly coveted Noemia Collection comes an exquisite timepiece with a 32mm stainless steel case, a delicate mother-of-pearl dial set with ten sparkling diamonds marking the hours, and two silver Roman numerals at the 12 and 6 o’clock position.
