Vintage Omega De Ville Emeraude “Andrew Grima” White Gold Plated 511.0379 - 32,5mm - 1970

This incredible Omega De Ville Emeraude was produced in 1970 and sold in Rome, Italy, in July 1973. The original purchase papers are included.

Designed by Andrew Grima, the watch features a distinctive tank-style case with sharp edges and a diamond-cut crystal. The case is white gold plated with a stainless steel back, and it comes with its original yellow gold plated crown.

The dark grey dial has a unique ghost-like effect on the text, which shifts into visibility depending on the light. Inside is the manual-wind Caliber 620 movement, fully serviced in June 2025 and currently running flawlessly.

The condition is exceptional—likely barely worn, if at all. Aside from the replaced strap, the watch is original and stands out as both a collector’s piece and a striking dress watch.
