GRUPPO GAMMA Time Instruments VANGUARD & VANGUARD RETRO
First introduced in 2014, Gruppo Gamma's Vanguard collection works off of a retro-inspired design with contemporary touches.
Perhaps you could say that they are re-imagination of what those famous diver’s watches worn by Italian frogmen in the 1940s could have evolved into.
Gruppo Gamma’s new Vanguard has a case diameter of 44mm allowing for plenty of presence on the wrist; however with a sleeker side profile than its predecessor.
The watch case is made from one of two materials: surgical grade Stainless steel or marine grade phosphor bronze AKA CuSn8.
It is fitted with a double-domed Sapphire crystal, a screw-down case-back and crown – allowing for a depth of 200 meters.
Gruppo Gamma have built their new Vanguard & Vanguard Retro watches to a new higher standard that includes the use of a Swiss mechanical movement.
The new watches are now equipped with a Swiss made ETA 2824-2, a self-winding caliber – a true workhorse, ubiquitous in the Swiss sports watch segment and for good reason.
The markers on the Vanguard’s dials now are filled generously with the highest-quality Swiss SuperLumiNova, providing excellent visibility in the darkness.
While Gruppo Gamma’s new Vanguard inherits many of its predecessor’s design cues of its predecessor it has more distinctive character.
Signature styling cues include the extractable crown guard and case side guard. The timepiece is fitted with a premium Italian leather strap, handmade in Florence, by Simona Di Stefano.
The Vanguard can be had in stainless steel, aged steel finish and CuSn8 bronze.
For those who prefer a more old-school look there's the Vanguard Retro, which has stayed faithful to the minimalist design of the earliest Gruppo Gamma timepieces.
Intended to hark back to Gruppo Gamma’s formative years, the dial design and layout are reminiscent of the discontinued Genesis and Ascent as well as the earliest Vanguard models.
The Vanguard Retro is available also available in either Stainless steel or CuSn8 Bronze. Follow the link embedded, below for more on the new Vanguard & Vanguard Retro collections.

ZELOS Watches GREAT WHITE
What’s bigger and badder than a Mako but belongs to the same family? That might depend on whether we’re taking dive watches or sharks, right?
Carcharodon Carcharias AKA the Great White shark is certainly bigger and badder than a Mako, also belonging to the family of Mackerel Sharks.
By no happy coincidence, the latest diver from Zelos, the Great White has been designed to be a bigger and badder version of their popular MAKO dive watch.
With a case offering increased size and thickness, the Great White also goes deeper; its 44mm case is water-resistant to 1000 meters, double that of the Mako.
Like its smaller brother, the Mako, the Great White’s dial features a spiral 3D pattern that is punctuated by double markers with shark teeth at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock.
A generous amount of SLN has been applied to the hands and markers of the Great White in a mix of C3 and BGW9, so perhaps it not only bigger and badder but possibly brighter, too.
A sapphire crystal and ceramic bezels provide provides the Great White with excellent scratch resistance while a Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic reliability an accuracy.
The ZELOS Great White has been released in collection of 8 variants (4 x CuSn8 bronze and 4x 316L steel) priced from 499USD. Follow the link HERE for more on the Great White.
