VANGUARD Aged Steel w/ Date – Luminous Forged Carbon Dial

Vanguard - my first Gruppo Gamma

The aged steel, the forged luminus carbon dial, old radium sandwich numbers looks great and it feels right on the wrist.
In my opinion this Toolwatch is on point!

Very fast shipping from Singapore with a nice box!

not my last purchase ;-)

Solid, top-notch built, nostalgia looks with reliable-function tool watch.

Absolutely love this watch. The Vanguard AG-10 feels solid, well-built, and comfortable on the wrist. The 42mm cushion case wears better than expected, and the crown guard gives it a proper tool-watch character.
The forged carbon sandwich dial is the real highlight, the lume is absolutely crazy and easily one of the best I’ve seen.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with it. Fantastic design, great specs, and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Gruppo Gamma has outdone themselves with this superbly designed and crafted Vanguard watch. The aged steel case gives the entire watch a unique retro vintage and patina. The crown and guard add to the superb styling and solid feel of this excellent watch. The forged carbon dial with its own subtle lume and the lume on the hands, markers and numerals are a most pleasing night effect. The craftsmanship of the high quality, vintage leather watch strap with aged steel buckle adds further appeal this outstanding watch. The watch movement and sweep is very smooth and the watch is keeping very good time.
This watch was a gift from my Wife for our Anniversary. Gruppo Gamma’s customer service deserves a special compliment for their professionalism and courtesy. And the watch was received very timely and well packaged in a nice case.
The solid, well built quality, and the unique retro feel & design of this excellent watch from Gruppo Gamma is very apparent from the moment you take it out of the case and put the watch on. As a former US Army officer, I appreciate the very fine quality of this watch and the customer service of Gruppo Gamma.

Teal. Bracelet draws attention. Love the dial and color combo. The strap is super comfortable.

Unique and well made , not many dial and cases like this. The aged steel, luminous dial brings a smile to my face.

look nice on hand. the case appears a little bit dark than as seen in the photo but not bothering.

This release of Vanguards was highly anticipated and Gruppo Gamma delivered, as always! The mesmerizing dials, the slick crown guard, the weathered steel finish on this model is not only unique but stunning. And how many brands give you the choice of an XL size strap - GG is the only I know! Of course, the lume is incredible! I bought two of these Vanguards - this weathered steel model with a date and the stainless steel model with a bracelet. I’m extremely impressed and pleased with my purchases!

Never been so impressed by a watch than the Vanguard.

I love this watch and haven’t had it off since delivery. I set the time to my iPhone and it is spot on 5 days later. The quality of the case is fantastic and 42mm size is perfect for all sizes of wrist. The dial face is one of a kind with its luminous glow and love the hands and red second hand. The crown guard and lock is perfect with its silky smooth movement. I absolutely love this watch and couldn’t e happier with it.

Really well built, great looks, and strap versatility is high - great to play around with straps to make it feel like a new watch

Good

I have just purchased this very unusual and attractive watch. It's not only elegant, it's also very functional—lots of compliments, etc.
I wrote this review to acknowledge the great job this new watch company has done in designing this excellent watch. Kudos

My 2nd Gruppo Gamma and am not disappointed. Amazing piece and way superior to many watches above this price point.
Thank you!!!!

Gorgeous watch really happy I got one I love gruppo gamma watches

I think it warrants 4,5 stars if not more. The execution is superb and as my 5th or 6th GG watch Gruppo Gamma does not disappoint. The box it comes in is also great and the XL leather strap is perfect.

The bracelet is actually too big for me as shipped and I've got big wrists. I cheaped out on the changing tool which I now slightly regret. For some reason I was expecting the bracelet to come with some spare links. I guess putting the links on the bracelet and having customers remove as many as they need rather than having small items that could get lost, is an efficient way to go. The small deduction that doesn't make it a perfect 5/5 is that they were selling the tool to adjust the bracelet, but it wasn't clear to me that most people would need to buy it or have the tools themselves.

I wasn't sure about the new "weathered steel", but let me tell you, it is spectacular in person. The pictures just can't capture the real beauty of this finish. That, combined with the lume-infused carbon fiber sandwich dial make for quite a satisfying and gratifying build on the wrist. It is a solid build with an excellent Miyota movement under the hood. Of course, the matching buckle makes a pretty complete package and I appreciate the availability of a longer strap to fit larger wrists. I, for one, would like to see a matching bracelet. THAT would make this a perfect build!!

The watch in the raw steel case looks insane. This is my next purchase of a watch from Gruppo Gamma and certainly not the last.

It looks really good

Love the watch. Very well made looking forward to many years of it on my wrist. Thank You

I received good service from Gruppo Gamma and received a fantastic watch. Great looking and of great quality. Recommend these guys

This watch is like a mini Panerai and it fits and feels more comfortable than most of my watches. The Lum is powerful and am really satisfied with my purchase.
