Notify me when this product is available:

The Double Domed Sapphire. Micro Bevel. For the SKX007 & SRPD.

Sapphire sits second only to diamond on the Mohs scale — it shrugs off the scratches a stock crystal collects. This one is cut 31.5mm for the SKX007 family: the full-width double dome that gives a flat-dialled diver a vintage profile.

Both faces curve — 5.1mm through the middle — with a micro-bevelled edge for a clean meeting line at the bezel, and it's designed to sit flush with our SKX007 slope bezel inserts. Blue anti-reflective coating on the underside, at least three layers, cuts the glare while the blue flash stays subtle.

Curvature with purpose.
Dome the 007 — and keep the dial readable.

Second to diamond.
Sapphire ranks just under diamond on the Mohs scale — the scratches that dull a stock crystal simply don't land.

Underside AR.
Blue anti-reflective coating on the underside — at least three layers — so glare dies before it reaches your eye.

Double domed, micro bevel.
Both faces curve; the fine bevelled edge keeps the line where crystal meets bezel clean.

Fits the 007 family.
7S26-0020 (SKX007/009/011) and 4R36-07G0 (SRPD/SRPE) cases. Seats with a crystal press.

Heads up — fit & install

Fits 7S26-0020 cases (SKX007/009/011) and 4R36-07G0 cases (Seiko 5 SRPD/SRPE). Seats with a crystal press — there's no safe press-free way to seat a sapphire; if you don't own a press, a watchmaker or mod specialist fits it in minutes. A crystal gasket is required but not included — the crystal seats with the gasket already in your case. Gaskets are cut to match a specific case, and ours are cut for our cases, so one from us would not seal a stock Seiko case correctly. If the gasket in your case is hardened, cracked or deformed, fit a replacement matched to your case reference — any Seiko parts supplier stocks them. (New gaskets come fitted only with our watch cases.) Designed to sit flush with our SKX007 slope bezel inserts.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

Are sapphire crystals really scratch-proof?

Effectively, yes, for daily wear. Sapphire ranks second only to diamond on the Mohs hardness scale, so keys, desk edges and door frames simply don't leave a mark. Only diamond — or another material approaching its hardness — can scratch it. That's why every crystal we make is sapphire rather than mineral glass.

Flat or double domed — which sapphire should I choose?

Flat is the low-profile, original-style look. Double domed curves on both the top and the underside — it catches light differently across the dial and gives the watch a warmer, vintage character. Neither is tougher than the other; both are sapphire. It's a styling call.

What's the difference between single-sided and double-sided AR coating?

It's which faces carry the anti-reflective layers. Single-sided AR is applied to the underside only; double-sided coats both the topside and underside for maximum clarity — noticeably fewer reflections between you and the dial. Every coated face carries at least three AR layers. Some of our crystals also come uncoated, if you prefer the bare sapphire look.

Blue or clear AR coating — what's the difference?

The colour of the reflection, not the clarity. Clear AR is colourless — reflections just disappear. Blue AR kills glare the same way but flashes a subtle blue at an angle, with a slightly brown tint face-on (a standard characteristic of all blue AR). Both do the same optical job; pick the look you prefer.

Which crystal pairs with slope bezel inserts?

The raised profiles: our high top big bevel flats and double domed micro bevels are designed to sit flush with our slope bezel inserts — the crystal edge meets the insert's incline and the two read as one continuous line. It's an aesthetic pairing, not a fitment rule: any crystal with the right diameter fits the case, whichever insert you run.

Will an SKX007 crystal fit an SKX013?

No — the diameters are different, so they aren't interchangeable. The SKX007 family (7S26-0020, plus SRPD/SRPE) takes a 31.5mm crystal, the SKX013 family (7S26-0030) takes 28mm, and Seiko 5 SNK models take 30mm. Match the crystal to your case and check the Fit Models line in the Specs before ordering.

Do I need a crystal press to install a sapphire crystal?

Yes. A crystal press seats the sapphire straight and evenly — there's no reliable press-free method that doesn't risk cracking the crystal or breaking the water seal. If you don't own a press, a watchmaker or watch-mod specialist can fit it in minutes.

Do sapphire crystals come with a gasket?

No — the crystal ships on its own, with no gasket in the box. You do need a crystal gasket to install it, but in practice that's already sorted: the crystal seats with the gasket that's in your case, so you simply reuse the existing one. We don't sell gaskets separately because a gasket is cut to match one specific case — ours are cut for Lucius Atelier cases, so a gasket from us would not seal a stock Seiko case correctly. New gaskets come fitted only with our watch cases. If the gasket in your case is hardened, cracked or deformed, replace it with one matched to your case reference — any Seiko parts supplier stocks them.
