1961 IWC and Rolex Watches Fit for a 50th Birthday Now on Vintage Seekers

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 15, 2011 – Equally, the stainless steel Rolex Oyster perpetual with rare red date on strap is another iconic vintage watch that turns 50 this year.

Choosing an item created in someone’s birth year makes an unforgettable, thoughtful present, and a beautifully crafted vintage watch is particularly apt, since it symbolises the preciousness and passage of time.

IWC launched the Ingenieur range in 1946 and is today much sought-after by vintage watch collectors thanks to its timeless design and rarity. Crafted in18ct yellow gold with a crocodile leather strap, the 1960s IWC 'Ingenieur' still has its original IWC box and sales warranty, detailing that the retailer ‘Ollivant & Botsford’ had endorsed the timepiece on 24th October 1961.

Other ideal 50th birthday gifts listed on Vintage Seekers, the premium 20th century design and collectibles site, include rare classic -1241339415  cars, such as a 1961 Jaguar MK II saloon and a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series 2 in silver.

OMEGA Watches Ambassador Competes in British Open

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 13, 2011 – This week sees the British Open at the Royal St George’s course in Kent, where major name golfers will be battling it out for a share of the £5 million prize fund.

Names lined up for this year’s tournament, which begins on Thursday (14 July), include world number one Luke Donald and Omega watches Ambassador Sergio Garcia.

One notable player missing from the event will be Tiger Woods. The three times British Open winner announced last week that he was pulling out of the event as he is struggling to recover from injuries to his knee and Achilles tendon that was injured in April.

Even without Tiger, arguably the best known figure in the sport, TV coverage of the event will mean great publicity for companies sponsoring players and the event. Omega watches, sponsor of Open competitor Sergio Garcia, is just one brand that stands to increase sales of its luxury watches throughout the event.

In fact, this year looks likes it may be a creative rebirth for Garcia, who will be hoping to mimic his hero and fellow Spaniard, the late Seve Ballesteros.

Following a self-imposed nine week sabbatical after his last PGA Championship, Garcia has posted 11 top 25s in 17 starts, five of which have resulted in top ten finishes. Given his renowned ball-striking ability and Ballesteros-inspired creativity around greens, the British Open has always been Garcia's best opportunity to break through in a major.

One of the other major draws at this year’s event will be Luke McDonald. He has shown consistent form over the last six months, including his recent Scottish Open win and 16 top ten finishes in his last 18 events.

The British Open -1241008838  is the third of the big golfing tournaments, known as The Majors, to take place each year. It is also the oldest of the tournaments, having begun in 1860.

The event is due to be covered on BBC Television throughout the weekend. For more information on Omega watches, visit the Watch Hut at http://www.thewatchhut.co.uk.
