Gruppo Gamma Bronze Vanguard Retro Green Dial Automatic 44mm 100m Sold Out

Gruppo Gamma’s Vanguard, first introduced in 2014, is a retro-inspired design infused with contemporary touches – a re-imagination of what the dive watches used by frogmen in the ’40s could have evolved into. The Vanguard has retained its distinctive character over the years and stayed faithful to the minimalist design of the earliest Gruppo Gamma timepieces.

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Retro AN-13 is an incredible watch. The most obvious perk of the watch is the material: it’s entirely made from CuSn8 bronze. Bronze has the great attribute that it builds up a layer of patina. This is an ongoing process which makes every watch unique. Discolouration is normal with this material. One major benefit is that you can largely bring back your watch in the original condition by using a Cape Cod cloth. 

Under the hood you’ll find a reliable automatic movement. The dial is a lovely matte green sandwich style, with markers with Swiss Super-LumiNova® C3 lume. The dial is protected by a low profile double-domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. 

With its 44mm diameter and 54mm lug-to-lug distance the Vanguard Retro has a great wrist presence and the high quality distressed leather strap ensures it’s comfortable as well.
