This bracelet watch comes from Omega's Emeraude line and is inspired by the exclusive creations of Andrew Grima, one of the world's greatest jewellers and purveyor to the court of the Queen of England. The product line is particularly characterised by the height and emerald cut of the glasses. These can be made of precious stones such as sapphire, amethyst or citrine, but quartz or mineral glass is also used.
