Grima's work, which included pieces for Queen Elizabeth II, brought a radical, organic modernism to watch design. This De Ville, reference 8271, is a direct result of that collaboration, a more accessible yet still fiercely original design from his \"Time in Style\" collection. It is a watch born from the mind of a jeweler, not a watchmaker.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver, Crystal, And Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example stands out for its complete commitment to a singular aesthetic. The entire piece, from the case to the integrated double Cuban link bracelet, is crafted from .925 sterling silver. Its most defining feature is the large, faceted acrylic crystal shaped like a cut gemstone, a signature of Grima's work for Omega. While some of Grima's designs were famously wild, this execution is more restrained, pairing the dramatic crystal with a clean, linear dial. It maintains all the character of his work in a highly wearable form.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreserved Seventies Silver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe unpolished .925 sterling silver case and integrated bracelet show an honest patina and areas of tarnish consistent with their age, presenting as a cohesive example of 70s design. The line dial is clean, and the unique gem-shaped crystal remains clear and sharp, which is crucial for a watch where the crystal is the main event. The bracelet is fluid and shows integrity in its construction. 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 Designer, Not The Director\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is a watch for someone who understands that style is not always about brand recognition. It is a sculptural piece that values form and material over overt branding. The experience of winding the manual movement each day creates a deliberate connection to the machine, a small ritual that grounds you in the moment. It is a statement of taste for those who appreciate the bold, avant-garde spirit of 1970s design.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8271\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e De Ville \"Grima\"\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e .925 Sterling Silver\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Cuban Link\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.75in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Line Dial with Gem Crystal\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e .925 Sterling Silver\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 990\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55190696165667,"sku":"10990","price":3550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF4582_5cf2190a-a5dc-4650-883d-2a3e8e8bd380.jpg?v=1780413716","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/omega-de-ville-grima-8271-925-silver-gem-crystal-silver-line-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
