Omega De Ville Jeux d’Argent 925 Silver Moiré Dial Ref. 8390 – A Rare Artistry in Silver

Few vintage Omegas capture artistry and experimentation as strikingly as the De Ville Jeux d’Argent. This Ref. 8390, produced circa 1973, combines rarity with extraordinary craftsmanship: a sterling silver case and bracelet paired with a mesmerizing moiré dial that shifts and transforms under changing light.

Our research has revealed no other publicly known example of this reference, making it a truly exceptional discovery for discerning collectors who seek the rarest expressions of Omega’s design heritage.

Case & Bracelet – Sterling Silver Elegance

At 32.5 x 29.5mm, the case is crafted entirely from sterling 925 silver — a material seldom used in watchmaking, which gives the piece a refined luster distinct from steel or gold. Its angular rectangular form exudes 1970s modernism while maintaining Omega’s timeless refinement.

Completing the look is the original integrated bracelet, also in 925 silver, signed and numbered 311.8390. Measuring approximately 19cm in length, it retains remarkable condition and presence, ensuring both comfort and elegance on the wrist.

Dial – A Play of Light and Texture

The dial is the highlight of this watch — a spectacular moiré design executed in two-tone silver. Separated into four square quadrants, the surface interacts with the light in constantly shifting patterns, giving the impression of colors and textures changing as the watch moves.

Minimalist black markers and slim hands ensure the artistry of the dial remains the focal point, while the composition embodies Omega’s experimental creativity of the 1970s.
