Details
A Piece Of Wearable Sculpture
In the late 1960s and 1970s, Omega collaborated with the visionary London jeweler Andrew Grima to create some of the most avant-garde watches ever produced. These were not merely timepieces but pieces of sculptural art, and this De Ville is a prime example of that ethos. Crafted from 925 sterling silver, it features the distinctive faceted acrylic crystal that mimics a cut gemstone, a signature of Grima's work for the brand. This design language came from Grima's celebrated "About Time" and the later "Time in Style" collections, which treated watches as integral pieces of jewelry.
The Complete Grima Vision
What makes this example special is the combination of its materials and design integrity. The blue linen dial provides a textured, vibrant backdrop to the unique case shape. Crucially, it is paired with its original, fully integrated Andrew Grima silver bracelet. This is not just a watch head, but a complete, unified design from case to clasp. The use of sterling silver is also less common, giving the watch a substantial feel and a distinct character that separates it from more conventional gold or steel models.
An Honest And Artistic Piece
This watch is in very good overall condition. The unpolished 925 silver case and integrated bracelet show some tarnishing, a natural and expected characteristic of the material. The unique shaped acrylic crystal and the blue linen dial have been well preserved. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Art And Design Collector
This watch is for someone who appreciates the intersection of horology and high design. The name Andrew Grima carries 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 connection between the owner and this piece of 1970s art. It is a statement piece that values form and material as much as function.
