Gruppo Gamma Nexus
[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]he Gruppo Gamma Nexus is a departure in terms of design for the Singaporean based microbrand. On the other hand, it isnโt. No, Iโm not talking out both sides of my mouth here, but this design is inspired by vintage Panerai Depth Gauges that Italian Frogmen used to wear when doing underwater operations. So, vintage inspiration has been a big part of Gruppo Gammas design ethos since day one, but this case design and the jumping hours is where things take a new direction. The dial is very complex, the jumping hours takes some time to get used to, and the non-screw down crown at the 6 oโclock position with the articulated lug takes some getting used to as well. The Nexus is quite the departure for the brand, but is that a bad thing?
