The Genesis has returned, after a hiatus of 10 years. It retains the original 44mm case of surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, but is subtly redesigned.
The black classic dial in sandwich construction, with hour indices at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions and dot minute markers, shines like a torch in the dark, thanks to the generous application of Swiss Super-LumiNova of the highest grade. Inspired by a rare military prototype said to be from the 1950s, the dial design has since become Gruppo Gamma's signature.
The timepiece is powered by the venerable ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement, and is water resistant to 200m/ 660ft.

Mechanical timepieces are powered by energy stored and harnessed through an intricate clockwork of tiny gears and springs, a technology that preceded quartz watches by almost a thousand years. They're easy to maintain and should run trouble-free for many years.
This Genesis variant is fitted with the coveted ETA 2824-2, a celebrated Swiss movement whose increasing rarity makes it especially desirable among enthusiasts.
The prominent box-shaped, highly domed sapphire crystal of the Genesis 2026 is considerably more demanding to manufacture than a conventional crystal, requiring precise machining and extensive polishing to achieve its distinctive profile.
The design faithfully echoes the distinctive Plexiglas crystals of the military dive watches once issued to elite naval frogmen. While offering the clarity and scratch resistance of modern sapphire, it preserves the unmistakable vintage character of the originals.
