Case

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

The case is typically made from materials such as stainless steel, gold, platinum, titanium, or ceramic, and may feature various finishes, such as a polished finish, brushed finish, or a combination of the two. The shape and design of the case vary 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 like moisture, dust, and shock. In addition to protection, the case also contributes to the overall aesthetic and style of the watch. It often includes details such as embossed markings, logos, or decorative elements. Case size and thickness can vary, affecting the overall dimensions and wearability of the watch.
