This was the final part needed for a watch I've built for my son to wear to his wedding. It looks amazing and is jut right for the vision I have for what the watch should look like. Thank you!

The Smallest Sub-Style Diver. 36mm. Ready to Mod.
A ground-up take on the definitive 1960s skin-diver silhouette — drilled-through lugs and gently pointed crown guards, in a rare, compact 36mm.
One of the smallest sub-style dive cases on the market. Add a bezel insert and it wears far bigger than the numbers suggest. NH34 GMT-ready and built to fit our full SKX013 parts range.
Designed for all our 28.5mm dials and original NH movements (grey dial holding spacer). Pairs especially well with a 7mm big crown.
This edition wears a DLC black coating — diamond-like carbon, roughly five times the surface hardness of 316L steel and far more scratch-resistant than standard PVD. A deep, durable black built for daily wear.
Small case, big wrist presence.
Case diameter 36mm, lug-to-lug 45.5mm, 20mm lugs. With an insert fitted it punches well above its size.
Vintage dive DNA.
Drilled-through lugs and slightly pointed crown guards — faithful to the era's tool divers.
Built to dive.
200m / 20 ATM, tested. Screw-down crown — we recommend a 7mm big crown for grip.
Fits the whole SKX013 ecosystem.
Bezel, insert, sapphire crystal, chapter ring, crown, dial, hands — all from our SKX013 range. 28.5mm dials; NH movements on the grey dial holding spacer.
The SKX013 case family — find your size
| Case | Diameter | Lug-to-Lug | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| SKX013 38mm | 38mm | 45.5mm | Our take on the discontinued SKX013 diver |
| SKX013 Submariner 36mm · YOU'RE VIEWING THIS | 36mm | 45.5mm | Vintage sub-style skin-diver |
| SKX013 GS Diver 36mm | 36mm | 44mm | GS-style diver, most compact |
All three share the same DNA — 316L steel or DLC black, 200m / 20 ATM, drilled-through lugs, 28.5mm dials, NH movements, and a 20mm bracelet or strap. What differs is size and silhouette.
This exact case also comes in the natural 316L steel version .
Heads up — this is the case body. The rest is sold separately.
This case ships as a bare body (with click spring and gaskets). The bezel, insert, crystal, caseback, chapter ring, crown, dial, hands and movement are chosen separately — it's built to fit our full SKX013 parts range .
Chapter ring. This case needs an SKX013-spec chapter ring to seat the dial correctly — without it the dial sits too low and the hands won't clear. It takes both normal and ultra thin chapter rings; the choice depends on your dial, not the case. If your dial has applied (raised) indices, pick an ultra thin chapter ring for clearance; a flat-printed dial works with either. Browse SKX013 chapter rings .
Crown. Screw-down, SKX-style — we recommend a 7mm big crown on this case for grip. Browse SKX013 crowns .

New to Seiko modding? You can build the whole watch right here — every part is an Add dropdown on this page. The case ships as a bare body (with the bezel click spring and the crystal & caseback gaskets); you choose the rest and spec it exactly how you like.
Ten parts make a complete watch. You've got the case — here are the other nine, each a dropdown above, in the order you'd assemble them:
Building an NH34 GMT? Add a GMT 24H hand (its own dropdown) and a GMT / NH34-specific dial — the 24-hour hand is the one optional extra on top of the ten.
Optional extras (also dropdowns above): a 20mm bracelet or leather strap , and a Côtes de Genève decorated bridge + rotor — only visible through a sapphire caseback, and our bridges pair only with our rotors, so pick them together.
Want it built for you?
Under ADD, tick Assemble Watch (+SGD $100) and we'll do the full build in our Singapore workshop — crystal press, bezel and insert fit, movement seating, crown alignment, caseback press, and a final function check.
Heads up: assembled watches need 2–5 business days of workshop time before they ship.
Prefer to build it yourself? See the How To Mod tab for step-by-step tutorials.
Springbars are included with our bracelets and straps.
