A refined evolution of Serica’s rugged field chronometer, now dressed for the occasion.
Since its founding in 2019, Serica has built a loyal following for its elegant take on tool watches. Designed in Paris by Jérôme Burgert and Gabriel Vachette (of Les Rhabilleurs publication), Serica’s creations blend the discipline of military design with what is best described as distinctly French refinement. The brand’s collection comprises the 5303 Diver series, 8315 GMT Traveller, the recently added Parade 1174, and the 6190 Field Chronometer, all of which share purpose-built functionality, COSC-certified precision, and great proportions that bridge vintage and modern sensibilities.
The newest addition, the Ref. 6190 TXD, marks the long-awaited return of the brand’s Tuxedo dial, a rare two-tone design first seen on a Serica field watch nearly four years ago. Now it reappears in a reimagined configuration, richer, sharper, and more sophisticated. By introducing a subtle third colour into the Tuxedo layout, Serica achieves even greater depth and contrast, reaffirming its commitment to modern classicism.
The new Serica Ref. 6190 TXD is made from 316L stainless steel and retains the compact, ergonomic dimensions that define the 6190 line: 37.7mm in diameter, 10.4mm thick (crystal included), and 46.5mm lug-to-lug. Despite its dressier appearance, the watch with the characterful twisted lugs and sculpted bezel remains as rugged as ever: water-resistant to 200 metres, protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating.
The enamel-like Tuxedo dial, with glossy black and silver-toned sectors accented by a soft third hue, balances legibility with vintage charm. The hand-applied hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova C3, and the brushed hands add texture and refinement. The look is equal parts field watch and formal companion.
The watch is powered by the automatic Soprod M100, a chronometer-certified (COSC) calibre operating at 28,800 vibrations/hour with a 42-hour power reserve. The movement features decorated bridges with Côtes de Genève finishing.
The Serica Ref. 6190 TXD comes fitted with a stainless steel Bonklip bracelet, with a signed clasp and available in three sizes (small, regular, extra-long) for an adaptable fit. The 6190 TXD will be available from now on the brand’s website, for EUR 1,190 (incl. taxes). More details at serica-watches.com.
