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 Weathered

The satin-finished steel case is well-executed and aesthetically pleasing. The watch's lumières de nuit are not particularly bright, which might be a drawback for some users. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one reviewer finding it pleasing in-person and another describing it as decidedly derivative.

Zelos Vitesse

Owners widely praise the Zelos Vitesse for its vintage motorsport design and striking dial options, with particular appreciation for the salmon and panda configurations and their finishing. The bracelet, clasp, and overall value at $1200 are frequently highlighted as strong points. Some owners note the watch sits high on the wrist, and a few have observed minor cosmetic imperfections on subdials. The La Joux Perret L100 movement's accuracy varies, with one report of +5 seconds per day, and several owners find the winding action stiff and noisy, the pushers sticky, and the screw-down crown's feel underwhelming. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Vitesse highly for its captivating dial and strong value proposition, despite some reservations about the chronograph's operational feel and case height.
