Solid caseback watches

A solid caseback is exactly what it sounds like - it's the back of a watch case that's made of a solid piece of metal.Traditionally, this was the standard for most watches.

Here's a quick rundown of solid casebacks:

• Material: Solid casebacks are typically made from stainless steel, but other materials like gold or titanium can also be used.

• Benefits:
  • Durability: Solid casebacks are generally more robust and can better protect the watch's internal movement from shocks and bumps.
  • Water resistance: They can contribute to a watch's water resistance by creating a tighter seal on the case.
  • Thinness: Solid casebacks can allow for a slightly thinner watch profile compared to exhibition casebacks (which we'll get to in a moment).
  • Engravability: The blank surface of a solid caseback can be a great canvas for personalized engravings.
