Crowns

It depends on the generation — the Specs tab on each page lists the exact fit for the crown you're viewing. Crown II (including the 1908 Presage) is cross-compatible: it fits both SKX013 and SKX007 cases, and the 7mm designs also serve the SKX013 Diver 38. Original-generation crowns fit our SKX013 cases, plus the Explorer II 36 and GS Diver 36. The Big Crown fits the SKX013 Submariner 36 only. Buying a case? Choose the crown from the dropdown on the case's own page — it only shows crowns that fit.

A Signed S crown carries the S emblem on its face — some versions in red. A sterile crown is the same design with a plain face. Which one is right is purely a styling call.

Knurled designs grip better than coin edge, and a 7mm crown gives you more to hold than a 6mm. Onion and diamond shapes are picked for their look. If easy winding is the priority, go knurled in the larger size.

Crown II is the newer generation with a visually slimmer profile — and it's cross-compatible, fitting both SKX013 and SKX007 cases. The original SKX013 crowns stay in the range in coin edge, knurled and big-crown forms — pick whichever suits the case's look.

Yes — every crown ships with 1x NH stem in the box, ready for the NH movement in your build. You don't need to buy a stem separately.

Yes — each crown is water pressure tested to 200m. Properly installed and tightened, it performs like the SKX013 crown it replaces: Diver's-200m rated.

It's a proportion and grip call. 6mm sits closer to stock proportions; 7mm gives more presence on the case flank and more to grip when winding — it's our most popular pick. The 8mm Diamond is the biggest of the range, for builds that want the full oversized-pilot look. Size doesn't change what a given crown design fits — check each crown's Fit line in the Specs.
