Gruppo Gamma Genesis 2026: The Complete Guide to the New Swiss Automatic Collection

(kindly note prices may be slightly different due to different VAT levels in EU countries)

After a ten-year hiatus, one of Gruppo Gamma's most iconic collections is finally back.

The Gruppo Gamma Genesis 2026 collection marks the return of a design that has become a favourite among enthusiasts of independent mechanical watches. While unmistakably faithful to the original Genesis DNA, the new collection has been thoroughly modernised with Swiss automatic movements, premium materials, refined finishing and an expanded range of configurations.

Available now for preorder, Genesis 2026 introduces six distinct models—GG-11, GG-12, GG-13, GG-14, GG-15 and GG-16—offering collectors everything from classic military-inspired aesthetics to cutting-edge crystallized titanium and forged carbon dials.

Whether you're a long-time Gruppo Gamma collector or discovering the brand for the first time, Genesis 2026 represents one of the most exciting independent watch releases of the year.

The Return of the 44mm Genesis

The new Genesis retains the bold proportions that made the original collection famous while benefiting from years of refinement in manufacturing and design.

Every Genesis 2026 model shares the same robust architecture:

Technical Specifications

• Case diameter: 44mm

• Lug-to-lug: 53mm

• Thickness: 12.3mm

• Lug width: 24mm

• Case material: 316L stainless steel

• Crystal: Box-shaped domed sapphire crystal

• Water resistance: 200 metres (20 ATM)

• Caseback: Screw-down

• Lume: Swiss Super-LumiNova

• Strap: Premium leather strap included

These proportions give Genesis an unmistakable wrist presence while remaining surprisingly wearable thanks to its restrained thickness and carefully balanced case profile.

Swiss Automatic Movements

For Genesis 2026, Gruppo Gamma has chosen proven Swiss calibres renowned for reliability, precision and ease of servicing.

The collection features two movements:

ETA 2824-2

Used in:

• GG-11

Sellita SW200-1

Used in:

• GG-12

• GG-13

• GG-14

• GG-15

• GG-16

Both movements feature:

• Swiss Made

• Automatic winding

• Hacking seconds

• Hand winding

• 28,800 vibrations per hour

• Approximately 40+ hour power reserve

Collectors can therefore choose between the classic ETA-powered model or the modern Sellita-equipped references depending on their preference.

Premium Dial Materials

Genesis 2026 showcases some of the most sophisticated dial work ever offered by Gruppo Gamma.

Classic Sandwich Dial

The traditional black sandwich dial remains available for collectors who appreciate timeless military-inspired design with outstanding legibility.

Crystallized Titanium

Available on selected models, crystallized titanium undergoes a specialised manufacturing process that reveals the natural crystalline structure of the metal.

Every dial develops its own unique pattern, meaning no two watches are exactly alike.

Lume-Infused Forged Carbon

The flagship forged carbon dial combines lightweight composite material with luminous particles embedded within the carbon itself.

The result is an aggressive, contemporary appearance unlike anything else in the Gruppo Gamma catalogue.

GG-11: The Traditional Genesis

For many collectors, the GG-11 is the spiritual successor to the original Genesis.

It combines the timeless black sandwich dial with the highly respected Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement.

GG-13: Crystallized Titanium

The GG-13 introduces one of the collection's most impressive materials—a stunning crystallized titanium sandwich dial.

Rather than using a printed texture, Gruppo Gamma reveals the actual crystalline structure of titanium through a specialised finishing process.

Every dial becomes naturally unique.

GG-16: The Flagship

The GG-16 is undoubtedly the most striking member of the Genesis family.

Its aged steel case is paired with a spectacular lume-infused forged carbon sandwich dial, creating a watch unlike anything else in the collection.
