Description: Rare, Beautiful Avante-Garde rectangular "Emerald" De Ville, Men's/Women ِAutomatic Self Winding Omega wrist watch model by Legendary Jeweller Andrew Grima. This Omega De Ville Wristwatch beauty was so popular during the 70s period, it comes in Yellow Gold Plated Case and Stainless Steel Case back with a charming Original Emerald Cut Mineral Crystal and Gorgeous Omega mirrored brown dial. This Masterpiece was inspired by the designs that Andrew Grima created for Omega and introduced in 1971. "Grima, who was arguably his generation’s foremost jeweler, counted Queen Elisabeth II among his clients. The Emerald line is distinguished by the generous proportions of its emerald-cut crystals of precious stone, quartz or mineral glass. The Emerald line was only produced at OMEGA until 1973 but it left a lasting impression. Grima was the first jeweller to win the Queen's Award for Export in 1966 and the only jeweller to have won the Duke of Edinburgh Prize for Elegant Design. In 1970, at about the same time, he was designing for Omega and was appointed jeweller to Her Majesty the Queen. He won the De Beers Diamonds International Award (the Oscars of jewellery design) a record 11 times and, in 1969, was commissioned by Omega to create one of the most outrageous and daring watch collections ever made (About Time Collection). Besides the British Royal family, his clients included Jacqueline Onassis and Barbara Hepworth. Today Andrew Grima is recognised as one of the great modernist jewellery designers of the 20th century Watch is housing an Automatic Self Winding Fine Omega movement cal 663, 24 JewelsAll Factory Original, Untouched Condition with Original Mirrored Brown dial, Original hands, Original signed crown and Genuine Leather non Omega strap with non Omega Buckle Manufacturer: Omega Country of origin: Switzerland· Circa: the Emerald line was only made from 1971 until 1973· Model: De Ville By Andrew Grima, Ref. 551.073· Functions: Hours, Minutes· Designed for: Men, Women, Unisex· Case material: 18K Yellow Gold plated Case with Stainless Steel Case Back· Dimensions: 32 x 24 mm (32 mm Wide Excluding the crown- 33.8 mm including the crown, 31 mm long lug tip-to-tip) · Dial: Signed Omega Logo, Omega, Automatic, De Ville, Swiss Made, Mirrored brown color · Hands: Gold batons, original· Movement type: Omega Automatic calibre 663, shock resistant, 24 Jewels· Strap: Genuine Leather non Omega strap with non Omega Buckle· Crystal: Stunning Original Emerald Cut Multifaceted Mineral Crystal· Watch Service History: Watch has been checked, verified and serviced by our professional watchmaker on October 14th 2024 (Excellent Working Condition).
