The dial can be described as simple beauty. I love the simplistic raw beauty of the Vanguard’s dial. The dial features hours marked by 12, 3, 6, 9 and line markers at the other corresponding hour positions. Under the 12 marker is printed in white GRUPPO GAMMA. The hands are the same color as the case which is a detail that is very impressive giving the price point of this watch. This small, yet impressive detail is one of my favorite gems of the Vanguard. The Vanguard features an hour and minute hand, and a red seconds hand. The red seconds hand is a nice touch of detail. The hands are nicely shaped and are cut smooth &  sharp edges. The minute and hour hands also feature a coating of lume that matches the lume coating of the hour markers. The lume is evenly applied on all aspects of the Vanguard. The dial is easily viewed from all angles thanks in part to the double domed AR treated sapphire crystal. At certain angles the crystal is so transparent it looks like there is no crystal at all.
