One of the world’s most time-honoured sporting traditions, the game of golf has been appreciated for generations, inspiring timepieces, styles and individuals.
A game of connection and competition, golf has been adored by men and women for centuries. Embedded in its history, luxury timepieces have become synonymous with the sport, admired for their functionality and style.
At Laings, we understand that the perfect golfing watch is one that not only accompanies you on the green, but one that also carries you through every step of the day. With the guidance of our expert Pre-Owned Watch Manager, James Crawford, we take you through a journey of our favourite watches for the magnificent game.
On The Green
When selecting the perfect golfing watch, prioritise a lightweight design that won’t disrupt your swing. Shock resistance is essential for enduring the dynamic nature of the game, whilst a rubber strap offers both resilience and comfort across varied terrain. It’s a thoughtful combination of form and function, ideal for those who value performance without compromising on style.
An ideal companion for every round, watches that play well on the green are often those suited to an active lifestyle. OMEGA has long been synonymous with the world of sport, as the official timekeeper of the Olympic games, they are experts in creating timepieces ready to compete with you at the very highest level. James Crawford shares:
‘One of my favourite pieces from our Pre-Owned golf watch selection has to be the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra ‘Golf Edition’. Originally launched in 2017, it’s a standout model famously worn by Ryder Cup legend Sergio Garcia. And while Rory McIlroy opted for the ultra-light variation, both versions reflect the perfect blend of performance and prestige for the course.’
Capable of withstanding the impact of a five-iron on a long par three, the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra combines rugged durability with everyday comfort. Engineered with precision movements and proven accuracy, it’s a timepiece that performs confidently on the green – a discerning choice for any golfer.
In The Clubhouse
Regardless of the game played, the clubhouse is a time to connect with like-minded sportsmen who appreciate the refinement of golf. This can be a time to showcase pieces that whilst not suitable for the course, are still an ode to timeless style and sophistication.. A stylish favourite of James Crawford comes in the form of the Pre-Owned Jaeger Le-Coutre Reverso:
‘A timepiece produced in the 1930s, this watch was designed for polo players in India who looked for a way to protect the glass on their timepiece. This watch has maintained its reputation as a stylish favourite amongst men and women. The Reverso boasts a unique design that swivels at a point integrated in the case, when flipped over revealing a metal case back or a second dial.’
A statement piece, the Jaeger Le-Couture Reverso is a portrait of sporty sophistication that tells a story of unique sporting history and functionality. An ideal talking point for every player.
An iconic timepiece that is as reliable as it is refined, the Patek Philippe Calatrava watch has enchanted wearers for decades. Off the golf course, the classic design has been a favourite of legendary golfers such as Si Woo Kim and Matt Kuchar.
‘A consistent standout in our Pre-Owned collection, the Patek Philippe Calatrava remains a timeless icon of watchmaking excellence. With its refined design and enduring craftsmanship, it’s the perfect companion for those moments that matter, whether you're lifting the trophy or simply enjoying the view from the clubhouse.’
Styles for every swing
Exuding excellence on and off the course, the Cartier Calibre is designed with motion in mind. Crafted for the depths yet perfectly suited to the fairway, this dive watch offers an impressive water resistance of 300 metres - more than capable of withstanding even the wettest Sunday rounds.
