Serica has built a strong reputation among enthusiasts for its vintage-inspired tool watches and military-style divers. However, beyond its rugged offerings lies a lesser-known yet refined creation — the Serica Parade collection. The brand now expands this unique line with a new reference, the Serica 1174 Parade ‘Linen’, a watch that stands out through its bold design and textured dial.

A Unique Elliptical Case Design

The Serica 1174 Parade ‘Linen’ features a 35 mm x 41 mm stainless steel case with an elliptical silhouette that immediately sets it apart. Measuring just 8.20 mm thick, the case maintains a sleek profile while offering a distinctive presence on the wrist. The combination of a flat, vertically brushed bezel and broad proportions gives the watch a confident and architectural aesthetic.

While the elliptical shape may recall classic designs, Serica’s interpretation is distinctly modern and robust, uniting sportiness and elegance, creating a watch suitable for both casual and formal wear. Despite its refined appearance, the watch offers 100 meters of water resistance, an unusual specification among formal-style pieces that adds a sporty touch to its personality.

The New Linen Dial

The defining feature of this new reference is its linen-textured dial, available in Slate Blue and Tobacco Brown. The dial’s crosshatch pattern captures the look and feel of woven fabric, giving it depth and character under changing light.

The minimalist layout complements the texture beautifully. Faceted hour and minute hands, polished dot indices, and clean typography ensure excellent legibility while maintaining Serica’s signature understated aesthetic. The same design language extends to the buckle on the leather strap, echoing the watch’s elliptical geometry.

Reliable Automatic Movement

Powering the 1174 Parade ‘Linen’ is the Soprod M100 automatic movement, running 28,800 Vph and offering a 42-hour power reserve.

Price and Availability

Priced at € 1,490, the Serica 1174 Parade ‘Linen’ represents a compelling blend of originality, craftsmanship, and versatility. With its elliptical architecture, richly textured dial, and everyday practicality, this new release reinforces Serica’s ability to reinterpret classic forms through a contemporary lens.
