CONDITION
The emerald line was a crossover of jewellery and watchmaking. Designed by Andrew Grima, Queen Elizabeth’s chosen jeweller at the time, the range feature emerald cut sapphire crystal that are prominent and catch the light nicely. The rest of the watch is pure Omega – a manual wind 17 jewel Omega calibre 620 movement, signed crown and a 20 micron gold case. There are some issues with the cosmetics on this example. The dial has some staining on the right hand side, which is less noticeable with the watch in the case. There is also a chip to that crystal, on the flat top near twelve. The emerald cut edges are not chipped. The watch is keeping time, and the box is in good order too. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
