Using an $e^+e^-$ collision data sample of $(27.08 \pm 0.14) \times 10^{8}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of $\chi_{cJ} \to \Omega^- \bar{\Omega}^+$ ($J=0,\,1,\,2$) decays with significances of $5.6\sigma$, $6.4\sigma$, and $18\sigma$, respectively, where the $\chi_{cJ}$ mesons are produced in the radiative $\psi(3686)$ decays. …
