What to know

French independent Serica has reinterpreted its compact field chronometer with the Ref. 6190 TXD. Instead of simulated ageing, the tuxedo-style dial uses contrasting black and cream sectors, applied indices and brushed hands for a striking contemporary look. The Bonklip-style bracelet enhances the model's unusual position between dress watch and everyday tool.

Inside the approximately 38 mm steel case is a COSC-certified Soprod M100 automatic movement. Serica specifies a 10.4 mm profile including the crystal and an unusually substantial 200-metre water-resistance rating. First delivered in late 2025, the TXD is highlighted as a recent French independent design rather than a newly announced October 2026 watch.
