Serica 4512 Owner Review : Atypical, completed and beautiful

Classified as a fieldwatch, this watch, in its California version and with its steel bracelet, is in my opinion an atypical chic sports watch. Let's start with the case: fairly classic shapes but with a nice presence thanks to its well-shouldered horns. But what strikes the mind is this vertical brushing of the flat bezel and its polished outline. Then, its dial: depth of the lacquered black, painted indexes in a vintage spirit. Font neither too modern nor too old. We feel that all the design choices have been well thought out, well made. Very fine and comfortable steel bracelet, more jewelry than sporty, which goes perfectly with the atypical side of the watch. Movement: I will only mention its manual winding, everyone will make their own opinion, but in any case very precise (2s/day). Criticisms: I would have preferred slightly more plunging horns, and a slightly more robust lume.
