This 38mm square watch case is engineered for NH34, NH35, NH36, NH38, NH39, NH70 and NH72 movements and accepts dials sized around 27mm. Crafted from 316L solid stainless steel, it provides strong resistance to corrosion and everyday wear while remaining suitable for most skin types. The case is available in multiple finishes - Silver, Rose Gold, Gold and Black - so you can match your design to your chosen dial, hands and strap. A flat mineral crystal is pre-installed to protect the dial and hands, offering clear visibility and straightforward maintenance.

The case measures 38mm across (excluding crown), with a thickness of approximately 13mm for a solid wrist presence without feeling oversized. A 21mm strap width gives you access to a wide range of bracelet and strap options, from leather and rubber to metal bracelets. This item is supplied as a case only (no movement, dial, hands, crown, strap or bracelet included), making it ideal for modders and watchmakers who prefer to select and install each component to their own specification.
