Following four days of enthralling golf, the “Major of the Middle East” has concluded in victory for Li Haotong. The golfer, who played strongly throughout the competition, finished with a 1 point lead on the renowned Majlis course at the Emirates Golf Club.

The victory earns Li Haotong a trophy, winner’s cheque and a brand new OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Master Chronometer

Driven by the OMEGA Master Chronometer calibre 8901 - the elegant 41 mm timepiece features an 18K Sedna™ gold case, brown leather strap, and 18K Sedna™ gold hands and indexes that are coated with white Super-LumiNova for superb visibility in all lighting conditions. The brown sun-brushed dial is distinguished by a horizontal teak pattern inspired by the wooden decks of luxury sailboats.
