The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

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

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

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

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.

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.
