The last week of the 2024 Winter Equestrian Festival will be designated as Rolex Finale Week, it was announced today, with the news that Wellington International and Rolex will renew their partnership that started in 2012.
The Rolex CSI5* Grand Prix, offering free spectator seating, will be the highlight of that final week, featuring “unique classes, events, hospitality and awards,”in the International Arena in Wellington, Fla.
Rolex will remain the official and exclusive timepiece of Wellington International, WEF and the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival. The primary goal of the collaboration will be to elevate the equestrian and spectator experience in North America through the Wellington International venue.
Rolex also sponsors the Rolex Grand Slam at three European shows. It concludes this summer in Aachen, Germany, where U.S. rider McLain Ward will attempt to claim the final leg after winning the first two segments.
Another high-end watch company, Longines, is the title sponsor of the FEI World Cup Finals and many other competitions as the FEI’s first Top Partner since 2013. It is also the title sponsor of the Global Champions Tour.
