caseback
coperchio posteriore · copri-movimento · back cover
Definition
The caseback is the rear part of the watch case that covers and protects the movement. It can be made from steel, gold, platinum, or other precious materials, and represents a crucial element for both the water resistance and aesthetics of the case. It often bears engravings, serial numbers, and manufacturer's marks, making it an identifying feature of the watch.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a solid caseback and a transparent one?
The solid caseback completely protects the movement and is more traditional, while the transparent one (display caseback) allows you to admire the movement. Both guarantee water resistance if correctly made.
