Field Chronometer Watch Lads Thailifornia
A boutique edition of Serica's 6190 field chronometer, limited to 69 pieces, made with WatchLads, a watch collectors' community in Bangkok, and offered to its members and the founders' close friends rather than released to the public. The dial is smoked brown enamel and follows the 'Thailifornia' layout, with Thai and Roman numerals sharing a California dial. The 38 mm steel case is 10.4 mm thick and rated to 200 m, and inside is the Soprod M100, certified as a chronometer by the COSC, with 42 hours of reserve.

Collector photographs
Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited. A few are the Atlas’s own, and say so.
If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
How to get one
Serica publishes its current collection and its retailer or service network on its own site. Start there for what is actually in production; this catalogue records references whether or not they are still sold.
Check the reference number against the maker's own page before buying anywhere else. It is the one detail that is hard to fake and easy to verify, and it is what the specifications on this page are keyed to.
