The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

This watch is the result of a collaboration between Charlie Paris and the French-Speaking Watchmaking Association.

The case measures 39 mm, lug to lug 45 mm, and lug width 20 mm. This compact and lightweight watch is perfect for long journeys.

The "13" replaces the "1," referring to 1:50 PM: 1:50 PM is the opposite of 10:10 PM.

The "50" in 1:50 PM is white, unlike the other minute markers.

The Horlogerie Francophone logo with Luminova in the left subdial.
The case back with the Horlogerie Francophone logo.
The crown with the Horlogerie Francophone logo.

(Updated October 2023)

A neo-vintage look for this chronograph for less than €400! A very nice shop in the heart of Paris for an impulse purchase that I don't regret. A watch with a mecaquartz movement, combining mechanics and quartz, which is expanding my collection!

We are certainly not in the dimension of Rolex or Omega but rather in the desire to treat yourself at a good price for a young French brand that is constantly reinventing itself. With the Awake Concept, this is my 2nd French watch, a sign that young people are mobilizing to offer other paths in watchmaking with a more humble and above all more economical approach.

This is also my 1st chronograph... A way to test this type of watch at a lower price and I must admit that the diversity of information specified on the dial brings this Charlie to life. Its price at €375 exactly makes me say that Japanese watches like Seiko or Orient - like my Prospex Bleue - no longer have the exclusivity of nice, different and accessible watches from a price point of view. Bravo Charlie from this point of view!

Finally, I chose the sand-colored dial with the fabric strap of the same color for the discretion of the whole... and maybe I should have also taken the steel strap for its touch of originality?

In July 2023, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.

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;

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...
