Case

Case

The case is the outer structure of the watch, including the bezel, the back cover, the face glass, and the additional pieces on it, such as the buttons and the crown. It protects the internal components of the watch, including the engine, hands, and indices.

The case is usually made of different materials such as stainless steel, gold, platinum, titanium, or ceramic, and may feature different finishes such as a polished finish, brushed finish, or a combination of the two. The shape and design of the case varies depending on the style and purpose of the watch, ranging from traditional round cases to square, rectangular or asymmetrical designs.

The case plays a crucial role in protecting the watch from external factors such as moisture, dust and shock, and in addition to protection, the case also contributes to the overall aesthetic and style of the watch. They often include details such as embossed markings, logos, or decorative elements. Case size and thickness can vary, affecting the overall dimensions and wearability of the watch.
