Serica Parade dress watch

Serica takes a dressy turn

Young French brand known for handsome military pieces launches the Parade dress watch

Serica Watches launched five years ago and has so far concentrated on tool watches.

It launched with a retro-styled military field watch, and has added diving watches and GMTs.

All are handsome, with Swiss automatic movements and coming in sub-€2000.

The Paris-based brand has now branched out from the tool watch game with something completely different.

The Serica Parade is a lugless ellipsoidal watch with a choice of dial colour.

The name was chosen, Serica says, because “whether we’re talking about fashion shows, military ceremonies or love rituals, the idea of the parade remains the same – presenting ourselves to the world with the best we have, and the best we are.”

It is powered by a Soprod M100 automatic movement with Côtes de Genève finishing.

The sunray finished guilloché dial comes in a black or a gold colour.

The watch comes on a grained calf leather strap with a pin buckle that echoes the after the vertically brushed bezel.

For anyone worried that Serica has forgotten its tool-watch roots, this dressy number is water-resistant to a reassuring 100m, should the need arise.

The Serica Parade Reference 1174 costs €1490
