Modeled after the vintage depth gauges used by frogmen in underwater operations during the 1940s, Gruppo Gamma has created the Nexus using a clever application of an elusive 'wandering hour' complication - resulting in one of the most iconic timepieces in its genre.
When Gruppo Gamma was set up in 2013, the primary motive was to revive the spirit of olde tool watches - most notably those built for combat divers from days gone by.
In 2019, Gruppo Gamma is introducing the Nexus collection. Like its forebears the timepiece is inspired by vintage diving instruments, but with a twist. Back in the day, frogmen performing underwater operations typically wore on their wrists three types of instruments - compass, wristwatch and depth gauge. Much has been said and done about the watch, but now Gruppo Gamma have taken inspiration from the depth gauge instead.
The Nexus uses a special wandering hour complication. First seen in the market some years ago, Gruppo Gamma has now adopted it to give the Nexus a distinct character that is reminiscent of the vintage diving instrument.
