SKX Solid Caseback - Silver Mirror Polished

The Solid Caseback. Mirror polished. For SKX builds.

The standard solid caseback — the simplest, cleanest way to close a build. Mirror-polished 316L stainless steel, made for our SKX013 mod cases and the OEM Seiko SKX013 and SKX007.

Water pressure tested to 200m — properly installed and tightened, it's Diver's-200m rated. 1.3mm thick; if you're chasing a lower profile, the 0.75mm slim version trades down to 100m for the thinness.

Heads up — fit & install

Fits our SKX013 Submariner 36mm, GS Diver 36mm and 38mm cases (standard & DLC Black Edition), plus the OEM Seiko SKX013 and SKX007 — links under Specs.

No gasket included. Unlike most watches, SKX gaskets sit on the outside of the case, so every case takes its own gasket size — one case's gasket will not fit another. That is why gaskets ship with the case, never with the caseback.

Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

What's the difference between a solid and a sapphire caseback?

A solid caseback is a plain steel cover — the cleanest look, and the standard version is water pressure tested to 200m when properly installed. A sapphire caseback sets a sapphire crystal into the steel ring, turning the back into a window on the movement. If you've fitted a decorated rotor or bridge, the sapphire back is what lets you see it.

Will these casebacks fit my SKX007 or SKX013?

Yes — they're designed for SKX cases, covering both the SKX007 family (7S26-0020) and the SKX013 family (7S26-0030), on builds running Seiko NH movements.

Why choose the slim solid caseback?

It cuts the caseback's thickness from 1.3mm to 0.75mm, which lowers the finished watch's profile on the wrist. The trade-off is water resistance: the slim version is pressure tested to 100m, against 200m for the standard solid caseback.

Hello Andrew!

Thanks for expressing interest in our mod parts!

>> Does the caseback include a gasket?
No, it does not. Case already comes with a gasket.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Adriel
