Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

Will an SKX007 bezel fit an SKX013?

No. The cases are different diameters, so the bezels aren't interchangeable. SKX013 bezels fit the 7S26-0030 case family (SKX013, SKX015, SKX017). SKX007 bezels fit the 7S26-0020 family (SKX007, SKX009, SKX011) plus Seiko 5 SRPD and SRPE (4R36-07G0) cases.

Do these bezels rotate?

It depends on the fit type, shown on each product page. Snap-based dive bezels — like the Submariner, MM300 and 24H GMT — seat on the case and rotate. Friction-based bezels — like the Pilot, Fluted, Big Bang and Tachymeter — are marked 'Nonrotatable': they press on fixed, as a decorative ring. If you want a working rotating bezel, choose a snap-based dive style.

What's the difference between a snap-fit and a friction-fit bezel?

Snap-fit bezels click onto a retaining groove on the case and take a bezel insert — these are the rotating dive styles, and they include a gasket. Friction-fit bezels press on and sit about 0.5mm above the OEM crystal (which also helps protect it) — these are the fixed dress styles, and they don't take an insert. Both are removable, and both seat with a crystal press.

Is a gasket included?

Yes. The snap-fit dive bezels ship with a rubber gasket, included and installed. The SNK bezels come with two i-ring gaskets. You just supply a crystal press to seat the bezel straight and even.

Do I need special tools to install a bezel?

All our bezels snap on. You'll need a crystal press to install one — it seats the bezel straight and evenly.

What are these bezels made of?

316L stainless steel, machined by ISO 9001 certified manufacturers. Finishes span mirror polished, brushed, gold and DLC black coating depending on the model.

How tough is the DLC black coating?

Very. DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is a hard carbon coating — around five times the hardness of stainless steel — so it resists scratches and everyday wear far better than ordinary black plating, and it won't fade in UV. A sharp impact on a hard edge can still mark it, but for daily wear it holds its finish exceptionally well.
