Details
A Piece Of Wearable Sculpture
In the late 1960s and early 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 a distinctive shaped acrylic crystal and an integrated bracelet, both signatures of Grima's work for the brand. His "Time in Style" collection treated watches as integral pieces of jewelry, valuing form and material as much as function.
A Confident And Unisex Design
This example pairs a unique chain link style bracelet with a clean, grey Roman numeral dial. The entire piece, case and bracelet, is crafted from .925 silver, giving it a cool, substantial feel on the wrist that is distinct from more common gold or steel models. While many Grima pieces were explicitly feminine, the clean lines and confident bracelet on this reference can truly be worn as a unisex statement piece. It is a complete, unified design from case to clasp.
Natural Character On A Strong Foundation
This watch is in very good overall condition. The dial is perfect, and the shaped acrylic crystal is undamaged. The .925 silver case and integrated chain link bracelet are very good, showing some fun tarnish that is a natural and expected characteristic of the material. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Bought For The Name Grima
Grima's name carries more weight in jewelry circles than in watch circles, which is precisely where the opportunity sits. He held a royal warrant, dressed the Queen, and defined what British studio jewelry looked like for two decades, and Omega handed him a watch line at the height of it. Priced against his brooches and rings, a signed Grima watch in solid silver is the cheapest way into his work that exists. The rest of the appeal is straightforward: an all-silver case and chain link bracelet that neither a man nor a woman has to think twice about, and a shape no other watch in the room will share.
