First introduced in 2014, the Vanguard is retro-inspired and 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.
