Venturo is the sister brand of Gruppo Gamma Time Instruments. It was created to give discerning enthusiasts a considered alternative in a crowded watch market, combining distinctive design, strong wrist presence and capable construction with accessible pricing.

Accessible independent tool watches

While Gruppo Gamma focuses on premium, small-batch timepieces, Venturo takes a more accessible approach to purpose-driven watches. The collection is backed by the logistics and post-sales experience of an independent, hands-on team that has worked in watchmaking since 2013.

For the price, few watches combine Venturo’s visual appeal, wrist presence and build quality with the same level of direct independent-brand support.

Durable construction and timeless design

Venturo watches draw on military, aviation, field-watch and dive-watch traditions. Clean dials, strong legibility and vintage-inspired proportions make the designs versatile enough for outdoor use and everyday wear.

Across its collections, Venturo has used materials and components such as marine-grade stainless steel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and dependable Japanese automatic, mechanical or meca-quartz movements. Specifications vary by reference, so consult the individual product page for the exact movement, materials, dimensions and water-resistance rating.

Venturo Field Watches and Skindiver

By 2025, Venturo had released three generations of its Field Watch:

Venturo Field Watch
Venturo Field Watch II
Venturo Field Watch III

The range also includes the Venturo Skindiver, extending the same accessible tool-watch philosophy to a vintage-inspired dive-watch format.

What is Venturo?

Venturo sits within the Gruppo Gamma watchmaking ecosystem but follows a more understated design direction. Where Gruppo Gamma's best-known models use bold cushion cases and vintage military-diver proportions, Venturo focuses on practical field and travel watches that are easier to wear across work, weekends and outdoor use.

The Field Watch has now reached its third iteration. Field III models refine the idea with a compact stainless-steel case, clear Arabic numerals, strong low-light visibility and modern strap or bracelet options. The result is an everyday mechanical watch rather than a decorative recreation of a historical instrument.

Who is the Venturo Field III for?

The Field III is suited to buyers who want independent-watch character in more moderate dimensions. Its 40 mm diameter and 48.5 mm lug-to-lug length are smaller than current Genesis, Peacemaker and many Vanguard references, making it a logical starting point for slimmer wrists or anyone who prefers a quieter presence.

Choose the standard three-hand model for maximum simplicity. Choose the GMT/date version if you regularly travel, work across time zones or want to follow a second location. Dial colour is primarily a personal decision: black is the most traditional field-watch expression, while grey provides a softer, more contemporary alternative when available.

Japanese automatic movements

The three-hand Field III uses the Seiko Instruments NH38A automatic movement. It displays hours, minutes and seconds without an unused date position, avoiding the “ghost date” found when a date calibre is installed behind a no-date dial. The NH38A runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers approximately 41 hours of power reserve.

GMT/date references use a movement and display configured for additional travel information. Because functions and calibres vary, consult the individual product page for the exact movement, hand-setting procedure and specification rather than assuming every Field III operates identically.

Case, crystal and lume

Current Field III cases use brushed 316L stainless steel, a box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, a screw-down crown and solid case back. The fixed smooth bezel keeps the dial opening broad and the design easy to read.

Venturo Field III is one of the relatively few collections in this family to use Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9, known for its blue glow. Thick luminous application supports strong night-time contrast without making the daylight dial unnecessarily busy.

Field Watch III dimensions

Case diameter: 40 mm
Thickness: approximately 14 mm
Lug to lug: 48.5 mm
Lug width: 22 mm
Crystal: box-shaped sapphire with anti-reflective treatment
Water resistance: 200 metres / 660 feet

These dimensions create a compact footprint with meaningful thickness from the box crystal and robust construction. Compare the lug-to-lug length with a familiar watch if fit is uncertain.

Bracelet and strap choices

Selected Field III packages include a stainless-steel bracelet with quick release, screw-in links, micro-adjustable clasp and an additional strap. Other Mi-Watch.it listings may be configured with canvas or different accessories. The exact package is always stated on the product page.

The 22 mm lug width provides broad replacement-strap choice. Use straps of the correct width and suitable spring bars, and protect the case from slipping tools during changes.

Frequently asked questions

Is Venturo a Gruppo Gamma collection?

Venturo is presented within the Gruppo Gamma watch family while maintaining its own name and more contemporary design identity.

Is the Field III a Swiss watch?

The current three-hand model uses a Japanese Seiko Instruments automatic movement. Its luminous material is Swiss Super-LumiNova. We describe each component precisely rather than treating lume origin as movement origin.

What does GMT mean?

A GMT watch has an additional hand for reading another time zone against a 24-hour scale. It is useful for travel or following colleagues and family abroad.

Can I swim with the Field III?

Current models are rated to 200 metres with a screw-down crown. Water resistance depends on seals and correct crown operation, so periodic pressure testing is recommended for frequent water use.

Where do Venturo orders ship from?

Most available watches ship from our European Union warehouses with DHL Express tracking. Customers outside the EU may need to pay local import taxes or duties.
