George Clooney cut a dapper figure as the guest of honor at the Omega Masters tournament at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland on Saturday.

George layered the jacket over a dark shirt which he wore open at the neck, while also sporting one of Omega’s pricey time pieces.

The Omega European Masters is one of the most prestigious golf competitions and is held annually in the Swiss Alps.

Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, said: ‘We’ve been the title sponsor of this mountain golf tournament for 21 years, but it’s the first time we’ve welcomed George here. He’s brought some real star quality to the occasion’.

George went on to say: ‘My father always wore an OMEGA. It was the epitome of class. When I first started working with OMEGA 20 years ago, I went through his attic and I found it, and I wound it and it worked. I started with that, and the ’57 is just a beautiful watch.’

The Oscar winner appeared in his element, shielding his eyes behind designer shades, as he applauded the players as they battled it out for the coveted title.
