Great looking rotor with a curiosity factor
High quality. Very pleased with purchase.
Just another high quality case that is great looking and easy to work with.
Explorer II, 36mm — Crown Guard, and GMT-Ready.
The Explorer II Watch Case 36mm is our first Explorer with a crown guard — a small, sporty addition that gives the 36mm case a more purposeful stance.
It’s GMT NH34-ready, and built to fit our SKX013 crowns and SKX013 chapter rings, opening up the full modding range. It also takes Swiss ETA and Sellita movements with the right spacer and caseback.
The case ships with a flat clear-AR sapphire pre-installed. Tested to 200m.
Sapphire pre-installed — the crystal press is done.
You’re not pressing a crystal or fighting AR coating. Pick a caseback for your movement family, add a crown, chapter ring, dial, hands and movement, and build.
36mm with a crown guard.
Diameter 36mm, lug-to-lug 43mm, 20mm lugs. The crown guard adds sporty character without inflating the footprint.
GMT NH34-ready.
Run the NH34 for a true GMT complication. A GMT-specific dial is required for the NH34 route — those are listed separately.
Five movement families.
NH34, NH35, NH36, NH38 and NH72, plus Swiss ETA2824, ETA2893 and Sellita SW200, SW260, SW330 — set by the caseback you choose. The matching spacer and caseback are supplied.
Flat sapphire, clear AR.
Pre-installed flat sapphire crystal, 29.5 × 1.5mm, with clear anti-reflective coating. Rated to 200m.
| Caseback | Total Thickness | Water Resistance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid | 11.6mm | 200m / 20 ATM | Slimmest profile, fully closed back |
| Sapphire (exhibition) | 12.1mm | 200m / 20 ATM | Show off a decorated movement |
The caseback also matches your movement family — Seiko NH, Swiss ETA2824/2893, or Sellita SW200/260/330 — and ships with the matching movement spacer for your selection.
