The Omega De Ville from the 1970s, crafted in collaboration with the esteemed jewelry designer Andrew Grima, transcends traditional watchmaking by merging horology with artistic expression. Grima, renowned for his bold, avant-garde designs, brought a distinctive flair to the De Ville, turning it into a collectible work of art. The watch’s silver case, paired with a striking electric blue dial, offers a minimalist yet luxurious aesthetic. The simple white-painted baton indexes and stick hands further emphasize the refined elegance of the design, making the dial visually captivating without being overly ornate. What truly sets this watch apart is the original silver bracelet designed by Grima, characterized by bold, geometric lines that reflect the opulence favored by British royalty of the era. Measuring 35 × 21 mm, this manual-winding timepiece balances the practicality of daily wear with the sophistication suited for formal occasions. Worn by iconic figures such as Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, the Omega De Ville is a piece of history, symbolizing a period when watches evolved into wearable art, admired for both their craftsmanship and artistic value.
