Omega De Ville 8272 ‘Jeux d'Argent’

The Omega De Ville Reference 8272 from the famous ‘Jeux d'Argent’ collection is a milestone in jewellery watch design. This series is the direct commercial response to the avant-garde ‘About Time’ collection by legendary jeweller Andrew Grima, who revolutionised watch design for Omega in the late 1960s. The Jeux d'Argent models made Grima's radical style – the fusion of solid precious metal and sculptural forms – accessible to an exclusive group of buyers.

The centrepiece is the integrated bracelet made of solid 925 sterling silver, which, with its complex woven structure and a length of approx. 18 cm, makes an impressive statement on the wrist. The dark blue dial is protected by a faceted sapphire crystal characteristic of this style, which looks like a cut gemstone and reveals new shades of purple with every ray of light. This watch is not just a timepiece, but a wearable work of art from the 1970s. It is in honest original condition with a patina full of character that underlines the authenticity of this silver collector's item.
