This premium Serica Mod TD204 automatic dive watch features the reliable NH35A/PT5000 self-winding movement, housed in a 40mm solid 316L stainless steel case. The 31mm black, white, blue, or red dial is protected by double-domed sapphire glass. Equipped with a ceramic unidirectional bezel with 120 clicks, a screw-down crown, and 20ATM waterproofing, it’s built for underwater adventures. Paired with a 20mm rubber or nylon strap and a secure pin clasp, it combines durability with timeless elegance.
Only the hands could be a little bigger
Am a fan of Tandorio!😃
Although it is a 40mm case, the dial diameter is small so it looks small and it is quite easy to ride!
Overall I find the build quality great for the price and rate this watch a 5/5 value-for-money homage of the Serica 5303. But, of course, it's not flawless. Some small issues to be aware of:
- The red "minutes" text on the ceramic bezel insert is faded and barely visible compared to the product pictures, even in broad daylight.
- The lume on the dial and the bezel lume pip is strong but the lume on the hands is unfortunately much weaker. You can tell the dial and the hands don't have the same lume compound as the hands are not as green and don't match the dial.
- The transitions from brushed to polished areas on the lugs are a bit sloppy when looking up close but look okay at arm's length.
The California dial is my favorite but, this is also fascinating.
The movement nh35 I find is divinely mounted on this clock as I find a fluidity of action better than other clocks.
Can not say anything bad about it.
I recommend it. Do not hesitate, just BUY!
Works well so far.
Good looking watch. I flipped the silicone strap over as I feel it looks better.
I got the NH35a version that needs 20 winds to start. I'll wear this for some weeks to check it's accuracy.
strap is 20mm all around with no tapering. the buckle is a little thin.
