Omega has been making precision timepieces since 1848 when the company was founded. They have had the privilege of making watches for the British Royal Flying Corps as well as being the official timing brand for the Olympic Games. The first Seamaster was introduced in 1948 and since then has been one of the most popular lines in the Omega catalog. The first prototypes were built in 1932 as dive watches for famous diver, Yves Le Prieur. The Aqua Terra was introduced in 2002 as a watch you could wear under the ocean or with a suit to the office. Sean’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M is a the Golf Edition that was released in 2017 with the green accents.

Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M is a 41mm watch with a case made from solid stainless steel. The right side of the case features the screw-down crown but no crown guards, interesting for a dive watch. The stainless steel caseback threads into the case and does feature a large sapphire crystal viewing window to view the mechanical movement inside. The bezel on the case is made from solid stainless steel and is polished to a mirror-like finish. The dial on Sean’s Seamaster is finished in black and features horizontal lines that are meant to mimic teak planks on ships. Around the dial are triangular hour markers, filled with luminescent material, that glow for easy reading in low light. The date window sits at the 6 o’clock position and the dial features green markings and second hand, showing off the golf influence.

Inside the Seamseter is a Caliber 8900 self-winding, automatic movement designed by Omega. The 8900 is the first Omega movement to be METAS certified as a Master Chronometer. METAS is the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology and have more stringent certification methods than the traditional, and more famous, COSC chronometer certification. Omega’s Co-Axial escapement was engineered to better handle the energy transfer and make the movement more precise. Omega designed the 8900 to withstand magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gaus due to parts like the silicon balance spring. The twin barrels are mounted in series and offer the wearer about 60 hours of power reserve. The winding rotor, along with other parts of the movement, is finished with Geneva waves for a more luxurious look.

There are many options for straps and bracelets with the Aqua Terra series of Seamasters and the Golf Edition comes with a black and green Nato strap. The Nato strap is made from nylon and comes together with a stainless steel pin buckle. There is also a Golf Edition done in blue and orange if that is more your style. This Gold Edition Seamaster retails for $5,400 but the price is a little softer on the secondary market. You can pick one up from a grey market dealer for around $4,000 currently.

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley

Ronald Montesano

Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.

Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.

PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole

Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.

Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!

Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.

Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.

Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!

Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.

Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro

Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.

The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin

Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.
