The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

"100m" version of the famous Submariner worn by James Bond (reference 6538, water-resistant to 200m), reference 6536 takes all the attributes, apart from the reduced case thickness and the smaller crown. It is a professional diving watch from the 50s, which stands out today for its timeless charm and its refined design, especially with a lacquered "tropical" dial.

An unlikely cross between the submariner - the archetypal diving watch - and the gold models of the Daydate type, this 16618 is one of the most spectacular watches of the brand. Its exuberance will frighten more than one, but for others it will be a magnificent collector's item, which they will be able to wear at the white parties of St Tropez!

The gala adventurer

The Submariner 5513 is the classic of the classics of the sports Rolex and everything has already been written about it. The first versions with lacquered dials are particularly desirable due to the charm of their dial with gold markings. When it is also a very rare example sold at Tiffany & Co. in New York and having the double marking on a dial that has turned chocolate, the term iconic then takes on its full meaning.

As usual, Baltic happily revisits the stylistic codes of watches from the 50s to the 70s. The inspiration from Rolex, Universal, Heuer chronographs, etc. from the 60s is evident here and the overall execution - as well as the attention to detail - will delight neo-vintage enthusiasts. A special mention to the grained finish of the dial and that of the bezel.

The Rolex President is probably the most legendary non-sports Rolex, with its famous fluted bezel and its specific bracelet. The watch of presidents, but also of businessmen, jetsetters, etc. My copy is one of the very rare watches bearing the double signature of the retailer Serpico y Laino of Caracas, who had the privilege of adding his name to the dial of the Rolexes he sold until the end of the 60s. A touch of exclusivity for a legendary watch...

The 7924 is one of the first references that were issued to the French Navy and this is the case of my copy that was used in Toulon. The contained diameter and the large winder give these first Submariners a raw side, an incredible presence on the wrist that is reinforced here by the "tropical" dial. A piece of history and an essential watch.

The brand BND was created in 2021 by Vincent Bonnaud. Tool watches evocative of the past, for collectors looking for authenticity, at affordable prices. This is how we could summarize the brand BND.

The collection<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bnd/mn"> BND MN</a> consists of 3 models with a variation of several dials, one black, one blue and one brown.

Very beautiful watch, which takes up the timeless codes of diving watches with just the right amount of originality. I love the matte brown color of its dial and the sobriety of the logo. The watch is very comfortable to wear because of its size. I also like the fact that it is a limited series made by an enthusiast, I have not seen one on anyone's wrist and I am introducing it to many collectors.

Total success

A watch made with passion by a very friendly creator, it goes with all classic or casual styles. Very beautiful finishes with perfect case machining, a domed plastic glass reminiscent of the greatest divers. Steve Mcqueen could have worn it on his wrist!

All great!

I hadn't taken the plunge during the first series and regretted it a little. Then, I learned through social networks that a new version, even more accomplished, was distributed among others by the Clouzeau jeweler... and I cracked! Mainly wearing large diameter watches (rarely under 42 mm), I find this "small" BND perfectly proportioned, sitting perfectly on my wrist, very present and hyper qualitative. For a very reasonable price, we access an astonishing level of finish. And the harmony of the lum of the indexes and the bezel marries wonderfully with the 3 chosen dial colors. In a pure vintage style... An essential watch (anyway, aren't they all???) and to wear in all circumstances, without worry, as it seems so solid and foolproof! Or how to treat yourself at a very low price...

A great success!

How could I have missed this gem!!
New and happy owner of this brown BND, I am under the spell of this sporty / chic diver.
Its contained 39mm frame falls perfectly on my wrist. It combines all the assets of a toolwatch.
After several attempts at bracelet combinations, the choice is difficult as everything suits it!
In short, you will have understood, this BND is amazing. So don't wait any longer: Go for it with your eyes closed....

Heart stroke!

Nice design, top quality manufacturing, plexi glass as we like, waterproof and an endearing founder, a versatility in terms of the color of the dial which changes depending on the light and the bracelet which gives it a completely different personality. The modern vintage side is endearing as is the community of owners in a price range perfectly suited to an independent French design.

At the top

I discovered this model through a friend during the Kickstarter campaign: I was instantly captivated by this watch with its vintage look but all the advantages of a brand new one.

The dial is ultra-legible and understated, and the bezel and indices feature highly effective Luminova, even at night and while diving.

In short, I'm completely charmed.

Un must have 

La marque&nbsp;Serica a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2019 par J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget et 3 amis &agrave; Paris, en France. Le nom Serica vient d'une r&eacute;gion perdue au bout de l'Extr&ecirc;me-Orient que les Grecs et les Romains avaient baptis&eacute;e ainsi. Ce lieu fait &eacute;cho &agrave; la gen&egrave;se de la marque, qui vise &agrave; concevoir des montres m&eacute;caniques de qualit&eacute; au style n&eacute;or&eacute;tro, pr&ecirc;tes &agrave; vous suivre aux confins du monde.
La gamme comprend des montres telles que la <a title="Page Serica 4512" href="https://www.dialicious.com/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, la <a title="Page Serica 5303" href="https://www.dialicious.com/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> et la <a title="Page Serica 8315 GMT Chronom&egrave;tre" href="https://www.dialicious.com/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. L'une des particularit&eacute;s de cette marque est que son nom n'appara&icirc;t nulle part sur le cadran, afin de pousser le passionn&eacute; &agrave; acheter un design, des finitions et des proportions, et pas seulement un nom. En juillet 2023, Serica a lanc&eacute; la Serica 5303 COSC une version chronom&egrave;tre certifi&eacute;e par le Contr&ocirc;le Officiel Suisse des Chronom&egrave;tres.
Leur avant-dernier mod&egrave;le est la <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> surfant sur les bases de la 1&egrave;re r&eacute;f&eacute;rence de la marque, la Serica 4512. Cette 6190 &eacute;pouse les codes stylistiques de la marque, des anses lyres, un choix de cadrans diff&eacute;rents et la possibilit&eacute; de choisir la position de la couronne &agrave; 3 heures ou en mode "Destro" &agrave; 9 heures. Cette Serica 6190 est &eacute;quip&eacute; du calibre Soprod M100 certifi&eacute; COSC (Contr&ocirc;le Officiel Suisse des Chronom&egrave;tres) &agrave; l'intar des productions actuelles des autres mod&egrave;les 5303 et 8315.&nbsp;
Depuis le 21 novembre 2024, Serica propose une nouvelle collection tr&egrave;s audacieuse...&nbsp;Une montre habill&eacute;e sortant des sentiers battus nomm&eacute;e "Parade" sous la r&eacute;f&eacute;rence 1174. Ces 4 chiffres, comme toutes les autres r&eacute;f&eacute;rences Serica, propose une symbolique issue du nombre d'or ou divines proportions dont le ratio entre la longeur et la largeur sont de 1,174... Une nouveaut&eacute; propos&eacute;e en pr&eacute;-commande &agrave; 1,490 &euro; pour une livraison pr&eacute;vue en Mars 2025...
<h2>Quel est le prix d'une montre Serica ?</h2>
Les prix des montres Serica &eacute;voluent et diff&eacute;rent selon les mod&egrave;les. La plupart co&ucirc;tent entre 990 &euro; et 1,890 &euro; selon les mod&egrave;les et finitions. Le mod&egrave;le GMT de la marque, Serica 8315 GMT Chronom&egrave;tre co&ucirc;te 1,890 &euro; tandis que le dernier mod&egrave;le lanc&eacute; par Serica, la r&eacute;f&eacute;rence <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/serica/6190">6190</a> est propos&eacute;e &agrave; 990 &euro;.

(Mise &agrave; jour Novembre 2024)

The brand Serica was created in 2019 by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget and 3 friends in Paris, France. The name Serica comes from a lost region at the end of the Far East that the Greeks and Romans named it like this. This place echoes the genesis of the brand, which aims to design quality mechanical watches in a neo-retro style, ready to follow you to the ends of the world.
The range includes watches such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. One of the particularities of this brand is that its name does not appear anywhere on the dial, in order to encourage the enthusiast to buy a design, finishes and proportions, and not just a name. In July 2023, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> surfing on the bases of the brand's first reference, the Serica 4512. This 6190 follows the stylistic codes of the brand, lyre lugs, a choice of different dials and the possibility of choosing the position of the crown at 3 o'clock or at &ldquo;Destro&rdquo; mode at 9 o&rsquo;clock. This Serica 6190 is powered with the Soprod M100 caliber COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Certification) certified, like the current productions of the other 5303 and 8315 models.&nbsp;
Since November 21, 2024, Serica has been offering a very daring new collection... A dress watch off the beaten track called &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; under the reference 1174. These 4 figures, like all other Serica references, offer a symbolism derived from the golden number or divine proportions whose ratio between length and width is 1.174... A novelty offered for pre-order at &euro; 1,490 for one delivery planned for March 2025...
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes. The brand's GMT model, Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer costs &euro; 1,890 while the latest model launched by Serica, the reference&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">6190</a> is offered to &euro; 990.
Serica is independent and produces around 5,000 watches per year, all models combined. Serica is part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://preprod.dialicious.com/en/top/the_best_french_watch_brands">Top 10 most popular French watch brands</a>, as well as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/top/the_best_micro_watch_brands">ranking the best micro watch brands</a>.
