Serica sells 8 current references, every one COSC-certified on a Soprod, from $1,290 for a 35 mm field watch to $2,450 for the GMT. The dollar prices are the store's own conversion from euros on the day, which is the one thing to know before quoting them to anyone.

Serica is a Paris brand, founded in 2019 by two partners, selling from its own boutique at 32 Rue de Turenne and through around 10 retailers, Time+Tide in London, New York and Melbourne and James Porter & Son among them. Its story page says the watches are made in Switzerland and does not name the assembly site. Every reference has been chronometer-certified since 2023, so every current watch carries COSC on a Soprod calibre, and the brand calls them instruments rather than jewellery. The warranty is two years, international, for manufacturing defects.
The site lists in euros. Pick United States in the store's country selector and it converts and rounds the euro price into dollars; there is no separately set US list. The dollar figures here are those, as shown on 19 September 2026, with the euro list in parentheses on each reference's first appearance. The consequence is that a Serica's dollar price drifts with the exchange rate in a way a hand-set price does not, so a buyer weighing it against a Formex or a Farer is weighing a moving number against a fixed one.
Three things the spec sheets settle. Every current reference runs the Soprod M100 automatic except the 8315, which runs the Soprod C125 GMT, and all are COSC-certified. Every crystal is sapphire with an inner anti-reflective coating: 1.8 mm double-domed on the field references, 2 mm on the 5303 and 8315, 1.3 mm beveled on the Parade. Lug width is 20 mm on every reference but the 35 mm Parade, which takes 18 mm. Water resistance is 100 m on the Parade, 200 m on the field references and the GMT, 300 m on the two divers. Lume is Super-LumiNova C3 on everything except the Parade, which lists none. Two catalogue notes. The 4512 California, the hand-wound field watch on the Soprod P024 that people still search for, was absent from the all-watches collection on 19 September 2026, and the 6190 California is its successor. And the 6190 is a fixed-bezel field watch, not a compressor, whatever its stepped bezel suggests in photographs.

Read the table by case rather than movement, since the movement is the same M100 on 7 of the 8. Three field references share the 6190 case (38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 200 m): the California, the M.S.L. and the TXD differ by dial and by $100. The 7505 is the same idea at 35 mm and 41.5 mm lug-to-lug. Two divers share the 5303 case (39 mm, 46.5 mm, 12.2 mm, 300 m): the 5303 without a date, the 5330 with one. The 8315 GMT sits on a 39 mm, 46.5 mm, 12.3 mm case at 200 m, and the Parade is the dress watch, 35 mm and 8.2 mm thick. Every case is 316L steel, polished and satin-finished, and every reference except the Parade ships on a steel bracelet: Bonklip on the field references, woven steel on the 5303 and 8315, Vesper mesh on the 5330. Bracelets are in the price, so there is no strap-versus-bracelet sum to do.

The Serica to buy at $1,290 (€1,090), tied with the 7505 for the cheapest certified watch in this data set, and the successor to the discontinued 4512. 38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 200 m, Soprod M100 with COSC, 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire, a fixed flat step bezel, Super-LumiNova C3, on the Bonklip 6190 steel bracelet. Against the 4512, which was 37.7 mm, 11.3 mm thick and hand-wound, it is 0.3 mm wider, 0.9 mm thinner, automatic and certified. The M.S.L. and TXD are this case with different dials for $100 more. The Farer Resolute III at $1,220 is the uncertified alternative for $70 less, 1 mm wider and 1.5 mm shorter, rated to 100 m.
Price$1,290 (as shown to US buyers on the maker's site)
The one to buy for a wrist under 6.5 inches, and at $1,290 (€1,090) it costs no more than the 6190: 35 mm, 41.5 mm lug-to-lug, 9.6 mm thick, 200 m, Soprod M100 with COSC, 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire, a wide fixed step bezel with applied cardinal points, Super-LumiNova C3, on the Bonklip 7505 bracelet with a Safe-Lock clasp. 200 m at 35 mm is rare at any price. The 7505-2 lists at the same price and the 7505 TXD at €1,190. Against the 6190 it is 3 mm smaller, 5 mm shorter and 0.8 mm thinner on the same movement; the trade is dial area, and nothing else certified in this data set comes in this size.

Choose this on the dial and nothing else, because the sheet is the California's to the millimetre: 38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 200 m, Soprod M100 with COSC, 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire, Super-LumiNova C3, Bonklip 6190 bracelet, $1,390 (€1,190). The bezel is a fixed flat step, brushed on top with polished bevels. The 6190-2 and 6190-3 M.S.L. dials list at the same price. The $100 over the California is the dial. For the same $1,390 the TXD gives enamel instead; for $100 less the California gives the same watch with a different face. Anyone who cannot tell the dials apart in the listing photographs should keep the $100.
Price$1,390 (as shown to US buyers on the maker's site)
The enamel 6190 at $1,390 (€1,190), and the reason to pay the same as the M.S.L. is the two-tone Tuxedo enamel dial, which the M.S.L. does not have. Everything else is the shared case: 38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 200 m, Soprod M100 with COSC, 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire, fixed flat step bezel, Super-LumiNova C3, Bonklip 6190 bracelet. The 6190 Denali and Commando dials on the listing page sit at the California's €1,090, so the 6190 family runs €1,090 to €1,190 on one case, one bracelet and one certificate. For the money the alternative is the M.S.L.; for $100 less, the California. Enamel is the only thing on this page you cannot have cheaper.

The 7505 is the alternative for less; this is the reference for someone who has already decided on a dress watch.

The initial series of 200 was sold out at check with a May 2026 delivery stated, so this is a watch to order rather than to buy. The 5303 is the alternative for less if you can do without the date; the Reef 39.5 at $2,085 is the alternative for more, with a Sellita.

The most expensive Serica at $2,450 (€2,090), and the reference where the certificate does the most work: Baltic runs the same Soprod C125 in its Heures du Monde at €1,300 without stating COSC. 39 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.3 mm thick, 200 m, a fixed two-tone polished ceramic 24-hour bezel marked AM and PM, 2 mm double-domed sapphire, Super-LumiNova C3, on the Expedition woven steel bracelet; the 8315-2 is the same price. It is 0.1 mm thicker than the 5303 diver. The Formex Reef GMT at $2,355 is the other certified GMT here, $95 less on a Sellita SW330-2 in a 42 mm case, 3 mm wider. The Serica is the smaller watch; the Formex is the cheaper certificate.
Serica is for a buyer who wants a chronometer certificate and Swiss make between $1,290 and $2,450 without a Sellita inside, and who prefers a bracelet as standard. It fits small wrists unusually well for a sports-watch brand: the 7505 and Parade run 41 to 41.5 mm lug-to-lug at 35 mm, and the 38 mm and 39 mm references all sit at 46.5 mm. Look elsewhere if you want a rotating bezel on a field watch, since the 6190 and 7505 bezels are fixed and Farer's are not; if you want a hand-wound Serica, since the 4512 is gone and every current reference is automatic; if the budget is under $1,290, where Farer starts at $1,165; or if you want a hand-set US price, since these move with the euro.
Where it sits against the field
In this data set Serica's cheapest references are also the cheapest COSC-certified watches of any brand: the 6190 California and 7505 at $1,290 sit $600 under the next certified watch, Formex's Essence 41 at $1,890. Its nearest neighbour by country of make is Farer, which prices from $1,165 to $2,095 on Sellita and La Joux-Perret movements without certification. The Farer Resolute III ($1,220, 39 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 100 m) is the comparison for the 6190, the Endeavour ($1,370, 41.5 mm titanium, 300 m) for the 5303, and the Lander IV and Nevada ($1,575) for the 8315, each $70 to $875 cheaper than the Serica and none certified; the certificate is what the Serica premium buys, and it is a fair price for one. Formex is the other certified small brand here: the Reef 39.5 ($2,085, 300 m) against the 5303, the Reef GMT ($2,355) against the 8315. Below all of them, Halios's Universa II at $995 and Nodus's Canyon at $1,199 give a Swiss Sellita or La Joux-Perret in a small-brand case at 200 m or less, uncertified.
Questions people ask
Where are Serica watches made?
Made in Switzerland and designed in Paris, per the brand's story page, which does not name the assembly site. The brand was founded in Paris in 2019 by two partners and sells from its own boutique at 32 Rue de Turenne plus around 10 retailers, including Time+Tide in London, New York and Melbourne. Each watch carries a two-year international warranty.
Are Serica watches COSC certified?
Yes, every current reference; the brand states that all its watches have been chronometer-certified since 2023. Seven of the eight run the Soprod M100 automatic and the 8315 GMT runs the Soprod C125, both Swiss and both certified. The discontinued 4512 ran a hand-wound Soprod P024 in its later batches and is the only Serica in this data set without a stated certification.
Is the Serica 4512 still available?
No; the 4512 California was absent from the brand's all-watches collection on 19 September 2026. It was a 37.7 mm, 11.3 mm thick hand-wound field watch on a Bonklip bracelet, listed at €575 per Worn & Wound in March 2022. Its successor is the 6190 California: 38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 200 m, on a COSC-certified Soprod M100 automatic, $1,290 (€1,090).
