Weathered case finish of Gruppo Gamma watch

Weathered finish, or aged steel finish as it's sometimes called, is a technique that Gruppo Gamma pioneered in 2017, a trend now adopted by mainstream competitors.

Weathered finish has a deliberately aged appearance, giving the watch a rustic, vintage charm.

Built for relentless adventure, the Vanguard AV-10's precision-engineered crown guard and locking device provides peace of mind, protecting the watch crown against impact and minimising strain to the crown assembly in day-to-day usage.
