Serica Unveils The Elegant Ref. 1174 “Parade” With Distinctive Oval Design

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, SERICA 2024, Dress Watch 0

Serica has unveiled the ref. 1174 “Parade,” marking its first foray into shaped watches. This elegant timepiece is now part of the brand’s permanent collection, offering two distinct variants that share a minimalist, time-only design.

The standout feature of the Serica ref. 1174 “Parade” is its unique oval-shaped case, crafted from stainless steel. Measuring 35mm wide, 41mm long, and only 8.60mm thick. Its brushed surface finish contrasts beautifully with polished bevels, while wide flanks provide a unique design element by seamlessly integrating the crown at 3 o’clock. This thoughtful detail enhances the watch’s streamlined appearance. The stadium-shaped bezel, hidden lugs, and solid case back, secured by four screws, enhance its sophisticated design, while a sapphire crystal and 100-meter water resistance ensure durability.

The two variants of the Serica “Parade” differentiate themselves through dial colour and finish. One version features a satin black dial, while the other boasts a sunray brass finish. Both dials display intricate S-curved guilloché patterns, micro-applied dot indexes, and mirror-polished, domed sword hands. The branding is subtle, with “Serica” and “Swiss” inscriptions neatly placed at the bottom of the dial.

Powering the ref. 1174 “Parade” is the COSC-certified SoProd M100 automatic movement. This 25-jewel Caliber operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 42-hour power reserve, ensuring precision and reliability. Complementing the watch’s design is a tapered black-grained calf leather strap, starting at 18mm at the lugs and narrowing to 14mm at the steel pin buckle, which mirrors the bezel’s shape.

Priced at €1,450, the Serica ref. 1174 “Parade” is now available at official Serica boutiques and authorized retailers, offering a sophisticated and timeless option for watch enthusiasts.

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, TIMEX 2024, Dress Watch 0

Timex is back with another intriguing revival, this time reintroducing the classic E-Line from 1983. Known for its retro charm, the E-Line was a sophisticated dress watch that originally stood out with its TV-shaped case, which Timex has preserved in this reissue. This modern version retains the essence of the original, boasting a square stainless steel case with round corners. Measuring 34mm in width, 12mm in height, and 40mm in length, the E-Line combines a brushed finish across most surfaces with polished details on the bezel, crown, bevels, and case back, delivering a refined look with versatile styling.

The dial, in champagne silver with a vertically brushed finish, is both elegant and simple. It features polished hour markers, three central hands, a trapezoidal date window beside the crown, and a black printed minute track around the edges. Subtle details like the “Automatic” label at noon and “Water Resistance” at 6 o’clock lend the dial a classic feel. Protecting this charming face is a boxed acrylic crystal, which adds to the watch’s nostalgic appeal, while a fluted crown at 3 o’clock and a screwed solid case back provide durability. With a 50-meter water resistance rating, this watch is designed to handle daily wear.

Inside, the Timex E-Line houses the Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic movement. Featuring 21 jewels, this movement includes a hacking seconds function, runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour, and provides a reliable power reserve of up to 42 hours. Known for its reliability, the Miyota 8215 ensures precise timekeeping, a key feature for those looking for dependability in an affordable dress watch.

Complementing the case is a tapered blade-style steel bracelet, a tribute to the stretchable designs of the past. With a brushed centre and polished sides, this bracelet is both comfortable and practical, providing an easy fit with its expansion band. At a starting price of €219, the Timex E-Line reissue offers a balanced blend of vintage style, mechanical reliability, and accessibility.

For anyone seeking a stylish dress watch with a touch of nostalgia, the Timex E-Line reissue captures a timeless look while maintaining modern durability and affordability.

Citizen Unveils Two Limited-Edition Super Titanium Watches with Exquisite Washi Dials

MRSTATELESS CITIZEN, NEW RELEASES 2024, Dress Watch, Limited Edition 0

Citizen introduces two captivating limited-edition Super Titanium models, each embodying Japanese artistry with unique dials crafted from washi, a traditional Japanese paper renowned for its resilience and texture. These exclusive timepieces, limited to 350 units each, proudly showcase the distinguished Eagle mark on the dial, crown, and case back. This symbol not only represents Citizen’s commitment to foresight and the pursuit of excellence but also underscores the bond between the wearer and their watch.

The first model features a dial with a subtle blue-grey hue, inspired by the rippling patterns created by wind in desert sands and dunes. The second model presents a gradient gold dial, darkening near the edges to a near-black shade, capturing the serene glow of a moon partially hidden in a misty night sky.

Both watches are encased in a 38.3mm Super Titanium case. The blue variant showcases a polished and brushed finish, while the gold version adds a layer of sophistication with a durable DLC coating. Complementing the robust design, each watch is equipped with a sapphire crystal, a smooth bezel, and a fluted crown positioned at 3 o’clock that bears Citizen’s signature. A screwed case back engraved with the Eagle mark medallion completes the design, and the watch boasts a water resistance of up to 100 meters.

The dials of these limited editions are meticulously detailed, featuring textured surfaces, faceted hour markers, and elegant Dauphine hands. In the blue model, the hands are brushed and polished, whereas in the gold variant, they are gold-plated, enhancing its warm, luxurious appeal. Positioned near the crown, the framed date window stands out with a white background for easy readability, while the Citizen brand name is placed at noon, and the embossed Eagle mark adorns the 6 o’clock position.

At the core of these watches lies the high-precision Caliber A060 with Eco-Drive technology, which is powered by any light source. This movement offers an impressive array of features, including a perpetual calendar, independent hour-hand adjustment, and an outstanding accuracy of ±5 seconds per year. Additionally, it provides a power reserve of up to seven months when fully charged.

For those drawn to elegance and versatility, the blue variant is paired with a 3-link Super Titanium bracelet with a folding clasp and is priced at USD 4,200. In contrast, the gold version exudes a refined, artisanal charm with a hand-crafted Chari-Happo goatskin leather strap, available at USD 4,100. These Citizen Super Titanium limited editions combine traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern, high-performance watchmaking.

Breguet Elevates Classique Collection With Platinum 5177 And 7787 Models

Ricardo Amaral BREGUET, NEW RELEASES 2024, Dress Watch, Enamel, Moon Phase, Platinum, Power Reserve 0

Breguet has introduced platinum to its Classique collection with the elegant 5177 and 7787 models, both featuring stunning black enamel dials. These timepieces showcase the brand’s signature Grand Feu enamel, created meticulously by layering and firing it at 800ºC. This results in dials that maintain their lustrous appearance over time, adding a timeless elegance to the watches.

Classique 5177 Platinum

It’s a refined example of Breguet’s craftsmanship, featuring a 38mm platinum case with an 8.80mm thickness. The case, finished with a smooth bezel and fluted profile, highlights the brand’s attention to detail. It features thin, straight lugs, and a sapphire crystal case back, offering a view of the intricate movement. The crown, positioned at 3 o’clock, complements the classic round design.

The black enamel dial is adorned with powdered silver Breguet numerals and rhodium-plated hands with open tips. A discreet date window near the crown sits on a black background, while an embossed star-shaped track lines the edges of the dial, with diamond-shaped markers at the cardinal points.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Caliber 777Q automatic movement, operating at 28,800 Vph and offering a power reserve of up to 55 hours. The movement is beautifully decorated with Geneva stripes and circular graining, while the gold rotor features a starry mosaic guilloché pattern.

Paired with a glossy black alligator leather strap and a platinum pin buckle, this model is priced at CHF 36,800.

Breguet, Classique 5177, 5177PT/2N/9V6.01. Black Grand Feu enamel dial, 950 platinum case, 38 mm diameter, 8.80 mm thickness, sapphire crystal, 30 meters water resistance. Black alligator leather strap with a platinum pin buckle. Calibre 777 Q, automatic movement, hour, minutes, seconds, date, 237 components, 26 jewels, 28,800 Vph, 55 hours of power reserve. CHF 36,800.

Classique 7787 Platinum

The watch offers a slightly larger case at 39mm in diameter and 10.30mm thick. Like the 5177, it features the same high-quality platinum case with a polished finish and a fluted profile.

The black enamel dial, however, introduces additional complications with a moon phase display positioned at noon, featuring a hammered white gold moon against a blue lacquered sky with rhodium-plated stars. The dial also includes a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, but notably, there is no date window, ensuring a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

Powered by the 591 DRL automatic movement, the 7787 operates at the same 4 Hz frequency but offers a slightly shorter power reserve of 38 hours. The movement is decorated with a gold rotor displaying a guilloché barleycorn pattern.

This model comes with a black alligator leather strap and a platinum triple-folding clasp. The Classique 7787 Platinum is priced at CHF 43,800.

Breguet, Classique 7787, 7787PT/2N/9VU. Black Grand Feu enamel dial, 950 platinum case, 39 mm diameter, 10.30 mm thickness, sapphire crystal, 30 meters water resistance.

Both the Breguet Classique 5177 and 7787 are exquisite additions to the collection, combining platinum cases with the enduring beauty of black enamel dials, showcasing the brand’s mastery in fine watchmaking.

MRSTATELESS Frederique Constant, NEW RELEASES 2024, Dress Watch 0

Frederique Constant has quietly introduced a new model to its Classics Premiere Collection, featuring an exquisite salmon dial exclusive to the European market. This elegant dress watch maintains the refined aesthetic that the brand is known for, while incorporating subtle updates that will surely appeal to collectors.

The watch retains its signature polished stainless steel case, measuring 38.50mm in width, 10mm in height, and 43.50mm in length. The curved case design is complemented by a thin bezel and a convex sapphire crystal, adding a sophisticated touch to the overall appearance. A fluted crown is positioned at 3 o’clock, and the open case back, secured by four screws, offers a view of the automatic movement inside. With a water resistance of 50 meters, this watch blends form and function seamlessly.

What truly sets this model apart is its striking salmon dial, which exudes timeless elegance. The dial features a recessed-grained centre, surrounded by a chapter ring with a circular brushed finish, marked by two railroad tracks. Breguet numerals adorn the ring, perfectly matched by Breguet-style hands with traditional open tips. Frederique Constant’s logo is positioned at noon, while the word “Automatic” is neatly inscribed at 6 o’clock, maintaining balance in the overall design.

The heart of this timepiece is the FC-301 automatic movement, based on the La Joux-Perret G100 calibre. This 24-jewel movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides an impressive 68-hour power reserve. Enhancing its appeal, the movement is equipped with a gold-toned rotor, which can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back, adding a luxurious touch to the watch’s mechanical beauty.

Paired with a brown leather strap featuring a crocodile pattern and white stitching, this Frederique Constant model offers a refined and classic look. Priced at €1,995, it is a well-rounded offering for those who appreciate sophisticated dress watches.

A. Lange & Söhne Marks 30 Years Of Lange 1 With Four Exclusive Limited Editions

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES, TOP STORIES 2024, Dress Watch, Limited Edition, Pink Gold, Platinum, Power Reserve, Small Seconds 0

A. Lange & Söhne is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its legendary Lange 1 watch with the release of four limited-edition models. To mark this milestone, the brand introduces two variants in Black Onyx and two in Pink Gold, each available in two sizes: the classic Lange 1 (38.5mm diameter, 10mm thick, 47mm lug-to-lug) and the smaller Little Lange 1 (36.8mm width, 9.98mm height, 43.9mm lug-to-lug).

Lange 1 and Little Lange 1: Two Elegant Variants

The key difference between these models lies in their case materials and dial colours. The first variant boasts a 950 Platinum case with a striking black onyx dial, while the second comes in 18k Pink Gold paired with a stunning blue dial. The larger versions feature a pusher at 10 o’clock, setting them apart from the smaller Little Lange 1.

On the exterior, both models maintain A. Lange & Söhne’s signature round case with a polished finish, smooth bezel, straight lugs, and sapphire crystal on both sides. A fluted crown is positioned at 3 o’clock, completing the classic design.

Dial and Display Details

The Lange 1’s dial exudes timeless elegance with applied indexes and hands made from 18k gold. On the platinum models, the gold is rhodium-plated, while the pink gold versions feature matching 18k pink gold hands. An oversized sub-dial at 9 o’clock dominates the layout, displaying hours and minutes with precision. A small seconds sub-dial is positioned at 4:30, adding balance to the design. Between 2 and 4 o’clock, a power reserve indicator provides a functional and aesthetic touch, while the iconic large date window, with its double-digit display, is placed at 1 o’clock, ensuring easy legibility.

Movement: The Heart of the Lange 1

Both the Lange 1 and Little Lange 1 house the same exquisite hand-wound Caliber L121 movement. With 43 jewels and a frequency of 21,600 Vph, this movement delivers an impressive 3-day power reserve. Through the sapphire case back, collectors can appreciate the intricate craftsmanship, including German silver plates and bridges, as well as the hand-engraved balance cock—a hallmark of A. Lange & Söhne.

Luxury Straps and Limited Availability

Complementing the refined dials, the watches are paired with glossy alligator leather straps, featuring hand-stitched details and a pin buckle in the same material as the case. Each Lange 1 edition is limited to 300 pieces, while the Little Lange 1 is limited to just 150 units. Pricing for the Pink Gold Lange 1 starts at €49,800.

Our Opinion

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 remains one of the most iconic timepieces, blending contemporary design with timeless elegance. Its clean layout, balanced complications, and meticulous craftsmanship make it a collector’s favourite. While these four-anniversary editions don’t introduce groundbreaking innovations, their exclusivity, premium materials, and craftsmanship will undoubtedly appeal to the brand’s enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer the bold Black Onyx in Platinum or the warm elegance of Pink Gold with a blue dial, the 30th-anniversary Lange 1 editions offer a perfect harmony of form, function, and luxury. Collectors eager to add one of these limited editions to their collection should act swiftly, as availability is extremely limited.

Inside, the watch is powered by a reliable ETA quartz movement, ensuring high precision and low maintenance, true to Tissot’s reputation.
