Reviewing the SERICA 5303 diver and the 8315 GMT, incredible designs & COSC certified for under 2K.
Few watch microbrands have this kind of a unique design language that sets them apart. Let me introduce you to Serica, a french brand making swiss watches who has been around for a couple of years now. In todays video we take a closer look at the diving chronometer 5303 in crystal blue and the Red Desert Travel Chronometer 8315 in desert red. Oh, if you are looking for the newly released updated 6190 field watch, it might be in this video too, or not ... but at least you will get a feel for the brand.
Hope you like this video, if you do, don't forget to like & subscribe. Thanks for watching.

    Hi Tom, I just watched this video and enjoyed it very much. I am considering this watch and have a question. My wrist size is also 6.5 and wondered how precisely the Easy Link works for you. Are you able to get a fit that is comfortable as your wrist expands or contracts in very warm or cool weather? It looked like you have 4 links on the 6 and 5 links on the 12 which is the same way I wear the Submariner. Any thoughts on your bracelet fit would be appreciated . Stephen

    Fantastic review. As an owner of the SPB143, this new iteration is exactly what I wanted. I have two gripes with my SPB143. First, there's the long clasp and the wonky and fairly useless dive extension. I wish they got rid of it completely, but at least the clasp is shorter. Also, the fact that the case is ever so slightly smaller is welcome. Finally, I don't like the grey sunburst dial on the SPB143. I know it looks great in some shots, but in direct sunlight seems washed out and the legibility isn't great. Having owned black and blue dial divers, I can tell you that for me black is the way to go. I always end up wearing a black dial watch more since it's so versatile and I love the monochrome, understated look. So I will be upgrading to the SPB451 and probably sell my SPB143. I think that one is the perfect daily + travel watch and you are right about the diashield coating. My SPB143 looks absolutely flawless after 3 years of daily wear and I never tried to baby this watch. It's actually the reason why I'll still go with a Seiko instead of other brand even though there are things I don't like about Seiko (QC issues, movement accuracy and of course the price bump).

  • @khronokraze
    @khronokraze 12 дней назад

    I really like the Serica 8303 & 8315. I always liked the 8303 when it was first released. It's the only watch in my collection that has stayed the longest since late 2021. I like it that much, despite the first versions with the Soprod Newton movement had a (post production) crown "feature".. eh, hem.. issue. I found a way to work with the quirky crown and it has never been a real issue with me. The movement is pretty darn accurate, too, even though it is not COSC, but the Top Flight version of the Soprod Newton movement is rated to +/-4 s/d, which is actually better than COSC. It's good Serica finally decided to change the movement in the 5303 to an older, but less quirky, Soprod M100 COSC. I also owned the 8315 GMT. I had it made in destro configuration. It looks cool and different enough to the 8303 to justify adding it to my collection. However, as a note, I don't believe one should do it in the destro config, imho.. not if you wear your watches on the traditional left hand. It's a big crown and the way the crown protrudes and sits off the side of the case, it actually will dig into my wrist. And, if you think about it, destro config on any watch if you wear on left arm is not the smartest thing. Most people's arms will get wider and create an incline as you move away from the wrist. That's just how the muscle and flesh on the arm physically is shaped. So, it only makes sense a left sided crown will be likely to dig into your arm more.. unless it was specifically designed to be in that position and takes into account for this. I don't believe the Serica 8315 is. Thus, unless u wear watch on right wrist, don't do the destro config.
