Grima was not a watch designer, he was an artist who treated timepieces as jewelry. This De Ville, from the \"Time in Style\" collection, is a prime example of that ethos. Crafted entirely from 925 sterling silver, it moves beyond simple timekeeping and functions as a piece of brutalist art for the wrist.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Grima Design Language\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe defining characteristic of this piece is its complete integration of case, crystal, and bracelet into a single, unified object. The heavy, sculpted silver bracelet is not an afterthought, but the foundation of the design. The blue tapestry dial adds a sharp, linear texture that contrasts with the organic form of the case and its faceted crystal, a Grima signature meant to mimic a cut gemstone. The use of sterling silver is also a deliberate choice, giving the watch a cool tone and substantial feel that separates it from more common steel or gold models.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHonest Wear On A Structural Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in very good condition. The unpolished 925 silver case and integrated bracelet have clearly seen usage but are structurally great, showing the honest wear of a piece that has been enjoyed. The faceted crystal and the blue tapestry dial are both well-preserved, and the dial itself is clean aside from a single spec of dust near the 6:30 position. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor The Art And Design Collector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is for someone who appreciates the intersection of horology and high design. The name Andrew Grima carries serious weight in the world of jewelry, with his work championed by royalty and celebrities. This De Ville is a wearable piece of that legacy. The daily ritual of winding the manual movement creates a direct, physical connection between the owner and this piece of 1970s art. It is a statement that values form and material as much as function.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omega De Ville \"Grima\"\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32x29mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 925 Silver Andrew Grima Silver Bracelet\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Tapestry Dial\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 925 Silver\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1287\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55317788918051,"sku":"11287","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF8691.jpg?v=1783610205","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1970s-omega-de-ville-grima-925-silver-blue-tapestry-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
