Offered for sale is a distinctive vintage Omega Jeux d'Argent dress watch, a highly collectible design from Omega's celebrated collaboration with renowned British jewelry designer Andrew Grima. Created during the 1970s, the Jeux d'Argent collection blurred the line between fine jewelry and watchmaking, showcasing Grima's bold modernist aesthetic through unconventional shapes, precious metals, and integrated bracelet designs.
This example features a striking rectangular sterling silver case integrated into an elaborate woven sterling silver bracelet. The deep blue dial is beautifully minimalist, displaying only the Omega signature, De Ville designation, and simple linear markers. A faceted crystal adds visual depth and creates dramatic reflections that complement the watch's architectural styling.
Powering the watch is Omega's manually wound Calibre 625 movement, a reliable Swiss mechanical movement used extensively in Omega's dress watches of the era.
The bracelet and case are hallmarked .925 sterling silver and retain the distinctive craftsmanship that made the Jeux d'Argent collection one of Omega's most artistic design ventures. More jewelry than conventional wristwatch, this model represents a fascinating intersection of Swiss watchmaking and Andrew Grima's influential design language.

The watch presents well overall with honest vintage wear throughout. The dial exhibits visible aging and edge wear consistent with its age, while the sterling silver case and bracelet show scratches, scuffs, and patina acquired through decades of use. The faceted crystal has small chips throughout.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and accurately represent the watch's cosmetic condition.
