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.

Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker Bronze Manual

Owners praise the Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker Bronze Manual for its character, with specific mentions of the dégradé green sandwich dial, matte black sandwich dial, and box-shaped sapphire crystal. The hand-wound ETA 6497-1 movement is described as a "dream" to wind, and one owner notes the Miyota 8N33 movement keeps outstanding time. The watch offers 200m water resistance and comes on a rubber or custom rally strap. Accuracy figures range from outstanding to +/-12 seconds per day with Sellita SW219-1 or ETA 6497-1 movements. On balance, owners rate the Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker Bronze Manual highly for its unique dial designs and the satisfying winding experience of its manual-wind movements.
