Serica Golden Green: the GMT bezel is what wins me over

This is the sort of GMT that makes me stop scrolling. The Serica Golden Green has enough of its own personality that I don't immediately start naming another watch it looks like, and the odd division of the bezel is a big part of that. I like the olive dial, the pale section of ceramic and the way the gold-colored details warm it up without turning the whole thing gold.

The reference is 8315-3, a new color execution of Serica's Travel Chronometer. Its asymmetrical day/night bezel is more interesting to me than another evenly divided red-and-blue insert. The dial also leaves room around the markers and hands. I can follow the design in a photograph without feeling as though I need to decode an entire flight instrument.

Compact enough, with actual tool-watch specifications

The manufacturer's current specification table gives a 39 mm steel case, 12.30 mm thickness including the glass and 46.5 mm lug to lug. Some coverage uses 39.5 mm and a different reserve figure; I'm using Serica's own current numbers here. The 20 mm lug width is useful if the supplied bracelet isn't for you.

There is a double-domed sapphire crystal, 200 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown. The Soprod C125 automatic GMT has a stated 40-hour reserve and COSC chronometer certification. I haven't tested this watch's accuracy or handled the crown, so those remain maker specifications. I also wouldn't call it a traveler GMT without verifying which hand adjusts independently.

The steel Expedition bracelet suits the case in the official pictures. Its woven-looking construction gives the watch a different texture from another conventional three-link bracelet, and I like that the end links look deliberate. Whether it pulls hair, drapes well or has a satisfying clasp needs wrist time. The maker offers crown-at-three and crown-at-nine configurations under the same reference; that is an actual choice to check when ordering.

Price and dispatch need their own checks

Current release coverage quotes $2,450, retained here as a reported US price checked November 7, 2026. Serica's page I checked displays €2,090 and says late-November dispatch, so I haven't independently verified that dollar figure at US checkout. Reports of immediate availability shouldn't erase the manufacturer's dispatch wording. November 5 introducing coverage supports the current release; the exact first maker announcement day remains unresolved.

I'm giving it 109 out of 120 bezel clicks. The proportions, olive dial and unusual bezel come together extremely well for me. I would want to try the Expedition bracelet and check the GMT setting before spending this much, but visually this is one of the strongest watches in this batch.
