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.

Now in DLC BLACK EDITION!! Every visible exterior of the watch case when worn is coated with black DLC.

What is DLC?
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. As the name suggests, diamond-like-carbon means that the layer is as scratch-resistant as diamonds. DLC coating has 5 times the hardness of a 316L stainless steel. With DLC being harder than steel, this means that a DLC coated watch will have a very high resistance to scratches that you will not have to worry about scratching your watch. This coating will not disappear if you accidentally do something that would otherwise leave a huge mark on some PVD-method coated watches. A feature that is highly coveted by many watch enthusiasts.

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.

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.

Using this mod part for: Aftermarket case.
Very Striking!

Adriel was very helpful throughout the process, even confirming with DHL that they could indeed deliver to my very remote location. I found the turquoise dial and then went about building the watch around it, starting with the thin DLC case. The deep black of the case and oyster bracelet compliment the black veins in the turquoise dial, and the subtle combinations of polished and brushed surfaces of both really make it pop - it turned our to be very striking! I am very happy with this purchase.

I can’t believe how legit this is. It’s a true 36 and actually looks and feels as such.
