Introducing the Ultra Thin Edition of the Explorer Watch Case, specially designed for NH Movements, boasting the slimmest profile possible!

With a mere 9.96mm thickness when utilizing a solid caseback, this 36mm watch case offers unparalleled sleekness and elegance. This is unprecedented given a NHxx movement is 7.59mm in thickness. Meaning that the sapphire, case and tolerance for hands add up to only 2.37mm!! It is thin, incredibly thin and without a doubt the thinnest watch case in the market for NH movement!!

Even with a sapphire caseback, the thickness is less than 11mm.

Included in the package are a flat double-sided coated clear AR sapphire, a choice between a solid or sapphire caseback, and a screw-down crown.

Crafted to accommodate all of our 28.5mm dials, SKX013 crowns, SKX013 chapter rings, and the original Type M NH movements.

When it comes to crown, 7mm offers a better grip over 6mm and knurled design has a better grip over coin edge. For the inquisitive, crown grip ranking: Knurled 7mm > Coin Edge 7mm > Knurled 6mm > Coin Edge 6mm. 7mm crowns will also look slimmer than 6mm even though they are the same thickness - an optical illusion similar to Müller-Lyer Illusions.

Choose your preferred bracelet from the dropdown list above or explore the options in the bracelet category .

The water resistance of this watch case reaches 50m, ensuring durability alongside its impressive design.

IMPORTANT: This case can ONLY fit TYPE M of NH35, NH36, NH38, NH70, NH71 and NH72 movement. TYPE L of these movements will NOT fit. Due to low tolerance/space between hands and sapphire, this case is ONLY recommended for professional watchmakers and highly skilled/experienced modders with great level of finesse.

Best 36mm explorer case

10mm thickness compared to 12 - 13 mm thickness is a very noticeable difference, especially for smaller 36mm watches. This is a really nice and well finished case.

The ultimate 36mm explorer case

What an amazing case ! The best balance between thickness and case size. Perfect fit on my wrist. The crown with Seiko S is really nice too.

I recently bought my first mechanical watch from Lucius Atelier. It arrived today and it is more beautiful than I ever dared imagine :)

Really nice case, already put into a new build.

It is exactly what I was looking for, a thinner case for a slimmer build. Goes together nicely
