Captivating and elegant

Here is a very classic "FIELD WATCHES" style watch but that I like because it is cheap, can be worn every day without fear of damaging it, readable in all circumstances and in addition its dimensions make it a versatile watch.

The "Lorus" brand has been part of the Seiko group since 1982 and offers simple and cheap watches while being reliable.

- The dial is fully luminescent, it is really impressive in the dark,
- A thickness of 8 mm,
- Embeds an Analog VJ33 movement that works with an SR920W battery,
- Mineral glass,
- The 38mm case is made of brushed 316L stainless steel,
- Waterproof up to 100 m,
- "Date" function in French,
- The bracelet is 18mm on a NATO, I almost do not feel it.

Casual watch

My first "compressor" type diver, A favorite for the history of the brand and the model. Relatively cheap, but for the price offers remarkable quality and finish, my only regret is the glass which is prone to scratches.

Limited to 599 copies.

- The blue and silver dial,
- A thickness of 14.8 mm,
- Embeds a Seiko NH35 movement with a power reserve of 41H,
- Double domed mineral glass with anti-reflective treatment,

Reliable and timeless watch

Here is a diver that is both beautiful and functional and that participates in an ecological approach because all the profits made on the sale of the Nautic-Océan "Expédition 7ème continent" are donated to the association that works to preserve the oceans.
I fell under the spell of this iconic model from LIP, made in Besançon with its petrol blue sunray dial.

Limited to 599 copies.

- The magnificent sunray petrol blue dial,
- A thickness of 15.2 mm,

- 20mm Seaqual canvas strap (made of recycled plastic fibers from plastics recovered in the Mediterranean) is nice but too short unfortunately I changed it for a black tropic.

Sporty and iconic.

Here is a watch that is at least imposing (to forget for small wrists), very massive, it looks like it was carved from a block of bronze but in the end it is very pleasant to wear and surprisingly comfortable given its colossal dimensions.
The "BRONZE" gives it a nice patina, which makes it more appreciable over time.

- A thickness of 15.6 mm,
- Embeds a Seiko NH35 movement with a power reserve of 41H,

A massive block of bronze...

This "Grande Corniche blue dial" is a more sporty model with integrated bracelet from the Swedish house and the result could only seduce me.

- A case with a diameter of 39 mm and a thickness of 11 mm,
- The dial is in blue ceramic with faceted indexes,
- The hands are of so-called "alpha" shapes,
- The case is in stainless steel and the screwed case back displays the stylized CG letters,

A timeless style

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.

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.

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;

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...

(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>.
