Omega De Ville X Andrew Grima
This Omega De Ville watch, created in collaboration with Andrew Grima, embodies the sculptural elegance of 1970s design. Crafted in 18k white gold and paired with an integrated white-gold bracelet, the piece presents a refined interplay of form, texture, and proportion. Its slender rectangular case frames a brushed silver dial beneath an emerald-cut crystal, whose sharp facets enhance the watch’s architectural character. Powered by a manual-wind movement and preserved in new-old-stock condition, it stands as a rare and expressive example of design-led Swiss watchmaking.

During the 1970s, Omega partnered with visionary designers to push the boundaries of traditional watch aesthetics. Among them, Andrew Grima, celebrated for his sculptural approach to jewelry, introduced a modernist sensibility rooted in geometry and structure. His designs favored strong lines, unconventional proportions, and the thoughtful use of materials over decorative excess.
This DeVille reflects that philosophy through its crisp rectangular silhouette, integrated bracelet construction, and faceted crystal, all working together to create a unified architectural form. The contrast between yellow and white gold further accentuates the watch’s dimensionality, reinforcing its identity as jewelry first and timepiece second.
Produced in limited numbers and rarely encountered in such exceptional condition, this Omega × Grima collaboration captures a defining moment in 1970s design, where horology intersected seamlessly with modern art and fine jewelry.
