The Serica Ref. 7505 Field Chronometer is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and quality. This 35mm timepiece challenges the notion that small watches are inherently less robust, proving that size doesn't define durability. With a diameter of just 35mm, the 7505 is a compact marvel, measuring a mere 9.6mm in thickness and 41.5mm in length. Despite its small stature, the watch exudes a commanding presence on the wrist, thanks to its short lugs, thick bezel, and reduced dial opening, creating a visually striking effect. The Serica 7505 Field Chronometer retains the brand's signature robustness, featuring a screw-down crown, solid steel back, and double-domed sapphire crystal, ensuring water resistance to 200m. The case design is a departure from the larger 6190, with curved inner lugs, a larger stepped bezel, and polished sides, adding a touch of elegance to its rugged aesthetic. The watch's dial options showcase a military-style "minute critical" design in black or olive green, emphasizing legibility and contrast, while the third dial, a carryover from the 6190 TXD, boasts a tuxedo-like two-tone layout. The Soprod M100 automatic movement, COSC-certified and beating at 4Hz with a 42-hour power reserve, ensures reliability and precision. The 7505 also introduces a redesigned Bonklip steel bracelet with a new Safe-Lock clasp, enhancing both security and comfort. The watch is priced at EUR 1,090 for the minute critical dial and EUR 1,190 for the tuxedo dial, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that Serica is renowned for. This 35mm timepiece is a testament to the brand's ability to blend functionality, style, and innovation, offering a compelling alternative for those seeking a compact yet robust field watch.
