Van der Gang Gents watches

Van der Gang Gents brings together 41 mm and 44 mm men's watches from Van der Gang, a Dutch watchmaker. Its founder trained at the instrument makers' school in Leiden, finishing in 1990, and then set up a precision engineering company, Exakt Fijnmechanika. He began designing watches in 2002, and the first model, the Original, went on sale in 2004. In 2008 Van der Gang began setting up its own manufacture, where movement parts and complications are made in-house on specialised machines. The aviation-inspired Vlieger won the title European Watch of the Year in 2014.

The 41 mm watches come in steel or rose gold with silver, black or blue dials, each made in a limited run. Watches that look alike can differ in edition size: the steel, silver-dial 20009 is limited to 500 pieces and the 20019 to 888. The steel, black-dial 20003 also belongs to the brand's Original collection.

The 20044B and 20044Z move to a 44 mm steel case with an anthracite grey dial, each limited to 999 pieces. The 20044Z has a DLC coating over the steel; the 20044B is plain steel.
