What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Venezianico Bucintoro 1976 - Limited Edition

The Venezianico Bucintoro 1976 - Limited Edition is noted for its stylish design, featuring a cream dial with blue registers and gold accents, and a unique titanium plate made from a Concorde engine blade. Reviewers highlight its comfortable 40mm case and sculpted pushers, though its 14.5mm height and butterfly clasp are flagged as drawbacks. This limited edition is powered by a hand-restored NOS Lemania 1873 movement and sold out its 100-piece run at €4,750. On balance, reviewers praise the Venezianico Bucintoro 1976 - Limited Edition for its unique materials and stylish design at its price point.
