The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

And two! barely recovered from the summer joy and pleasure that my Fujitsubo promaster gave me
Here I am just after the meet up in La Baule falling for a great opportunity with this promaster the more classic look but with a more worked bracelet and a navy sunray dial and a black bezel makes this watch strong and elegant
I am only a few days into wearing it but it has already amazed me with its lightness and elegance and its face of an adventurer of the abyss

Double whammy for this Promaster Marine Super Titanium

A very nice finish for this superb Lip reissue of one of the brand's first dive watches, featuring a "true" GMT complication that I really love.

A very practical bracelet.
The crystal is magnificent and transports us back to the 60s. The downsides, for me, are that the vintage look doesn't quite classify it as a true dive watch; it's rather thick and not particularly dressy either.
Worn 10 days out of the last 500.

Vintage diver and GMT

The inspiration is clearly oceanic, with a stunning gradient display.

This combination of purple reflections evokes the depths.

The GMT function is very practical.

I really like this piece, which I wear casually at the pool or beach thanks to its 200m water resistance.

While the strap is good quality and includes an adjustable sizing system for wetsuits, it has a very annoying tensioner that scratches very easily on the clasp. I plan to replace it very soon.

Octopus a GMT

Bought at the very beginning of my watch fever in a famous Parisian boutique, I was seduced by its pleasant face, its oceanic dial, its vintage look, its CELITA Elaboré movement, its bracelet combination (although I was only delivered the silicone one) 
It accompanied me on my last trip to Vietnam and Taiwan, its compactness and reliability give this Circula its place in my podium of watch brands and I hope in the medium term to acquire another model of this fantastic brand 


German quality

In September 2024, I started scuba diving after a year of theoretical and practical training in a pool and in open water. I passed my first certification and felt I had to reward myself for this hard work, so I decided to acquire this exceptional dive suit, equipped with an integrated depth gauge. It's the same one Enzo wears in "The Big Blue," in an Eco Drive titanium version, tested several times on dives—a real deep-sea thrill!



A fascinating symbiosis

A watch that is both sporty, with its (fixed) bezel, and dressy, thanks to the dial color and proportions.

A vintage style, with the shape of the hands and markers and the textured crystal.

Original complications:  Date subdial  Power reserve indicator

Original complications:  Date subdial  Power reserve indicator
But in my opinion, it also falls short because of these qualities; ultimately, it's caught between two worlds. I never know when to wear it—dressy? Sporty?

In 500 days, it has only been on my wrist 10 times.

vintage finish and style

Circula is a watch brand founded in 1955 in Pforzheim, Germany, by Heinz Huber, revived and now run by his grandson Cornelius Huber. A third-generation family company, it designs and assembles contemporary tool watches in small batches with a strong local footprint and an ongoing dialogue with an engaged community.
<h3>Pforzheim 1955, family handover and a modern reboot</h3>
Born in Germany&rsquo;s &ldquo;Golden City,&rdquo; the brand resurfaced under Cornelius Huber, who refocused the line-up on utilitarian collections and a participatory process (polls, votes, user feedback); Circula therefore claims family continuity and a deliberately &ldquo;Made in Germany&rdquo; manufacture.
<h3>SuperSport and AquaSport II: retro-coded diving, with real-world chops</h3>
The diving cluster pairs a modern super-compressor with twin crowns and a refreshed 1970s-style diver; the aim is immediate reading, practical robustness (sapphire, treated steel) and well-judged dimensions.
<ul>
<li>Circula SuperSport &mdash; A &ldquo;real super-compressor&rdquo; diver (case back sealing increases with depth), internal bezel and two crowns; strong neo-vintage vibe.</li>
<li>Circula AquaSport II &mdash; Funky-seventies diver, 200 m WR, domed sapphire and Swiss movement; built for comfortable daily wear.</li>
<li>Circula AquaSport II GMT &mdash; Travel-ready variant with a 24-hour hand and matching bezel; handy for time-zone shifts.</li>
</ul>
<h3>ProTrail: antimagnetic field watch co-developed with the community</h3>
The Circula ProTrail puts function first: bead-blasted, antimagnetic case (quoted up to 80,000 A/m), sapphire and hardened surface treatment, versatile sizing and useful water-resistance. Designed through thousands of user votes, it embraces an everyday tool-watch brief from office to outdoors.
<h3>Heritage PUW: refurbished Pforzheim calibers</h3>
The Heritage line houses period PUW (Pforzheimer Uhren-Werke) movements recovered from old stock, disassembled, cleaned and regulated before casing in modern cases; it offers a charming path into refurbished German mechanics within a clean design.
<h3>Positioning, indicative pricing and distribution</h3>
Circula sits in the &ldquo;attainable tool-watch&rdquo; segment, sold mainly direct with a few specialist partners; as guidance, AquaSport II pieces cluster around USD 900&ndash;1,000, SuperSport near EUR 1,100, and ProTrail between USD 990 and 1,170 depending on version. Annual volumes are measured, with many variants issued in limited runs.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Circula appeals to those who want an easygoing, clearly legible and technically coherent watch with a distinct Pforzheim flavour. You spot the brand by its readable trio: the expressive super-compressor, the everyday &rsquo;70s diver and the antimagnetic field watch. Depending on use, a Circula AquaSport II favours versatility, a Circula SuperSport leans into historic diving DNA, and a Circula ProTrail suits varied environments. To fine-tune colourways, sizes and functions, rely on Dialicious customer reviews.
(Updated August 2025)

I bought my Circula Aquasport II after discovering this brand resurrected by the founder's grandson. I really appreciated the retro-modern style and the little details that clearly give a plus to this timepiece. The watch was delivered with two straps, the classic rubber and the rice grain metal. The change is also very easy. The automatic movement is a Sellita SW 200 that does its job. The crown is screwed, as it should be for a diver. I particularly appreciate the exceptional brightness of the superluminova which is even applied to the brand logo on the crown. The watch is comfortable and a pleasant companion for every day. However, I regret the adjustment of the movement which is certainly within the tolerance of Sellita, but all the same, it easily advances 10 seconds/day. I would also have liked a metal bracelet with a slightly more qualitative aspect like a clasp with additional security. I really like this watch that I wear very often.

The resurrection of a brand

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.

(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>.
