The Serica 5303 COSC lands!
This seems to be the time of year that the watch deliveries are converging, making for a great Christmas mood with new watch unboxings, and side eyes from the wife.
This is the Serica 5303 COSC Antimagnetic Diver Chronometer, the new edition of their elegant diver with cosc certification and enhanced anti-magnetic properties.
The 5303 caught my eye with their design language, the seafoam green double bezel which also functions as a 2nd time zone, the lollipop hour indices, the milanese mesh strap that hides away the end of the strap making for a clean and comfortable wear. I also chose to go with the crown at 9 instead of 3 just to have something different and I love it as the big crown doesn't dig into the flex of my wrist.
Initial thoughts - comfortable wear, great size for my 7in wrist (39mm), good fit with the tucked away strap. Beautiful aesthetic, very different from my other divers, makes a statement without being loud. Bezel clicks with a satisfying resistance. A lot of watch for the money, and if I had to choose between this or my BB I'll go for this hands down.
Eclectic taste in watches. I like fun dials and vintage vibes.
Love the bezel😍
Very nice!
Love the bezel😍
It's so nice! And it didn't remind me of any other dive watches, which is almost impossible given the crowded dive watch market now.
