2.0mm Watch Glass: Precision, Clarity and Compatibility
The 2.0 mm thickness ensures reliable integration while preserving the aesthetics of the enclosure. Choose the profile suited to your project to combine style, readability, and durability.
What does 2.0 mm thickness mean
The 2.0 mm indication corresponds to the height of the insertion location in the case (seat), not necessarily to the total thickness visible at the center of the glass. Check that the seat of your case is designed for a height of 2.0 mm before selecting the reference.
Available materials
- Sapphire : very high scratch resistance, clear transparency and premium finish.
- Mineral crystal : balance between clarity, strength and cost.
- Acrylic : lightweight, easily polished in case of micro scratches, vintage look appreciated.
Profiles to choose from
- Flat : discreet and contemporary, excellent readability.
- Curved : slight relief for a classic style and a good reading angle.
- Dome : marked curvature, ideal for restorations and retro looks.
Choose the right size
- Diameter : Measure the housing precisely with a caliper. A slight tolerance (often +0.1 mm ) may be necessary depending on the seal.
- Location height 2.0 mm : check that the housing seat and the type of seal are compatible with this height.
- Gasket : Use a gasket suitable for the material and diameter chosen to ensure a watertight seal after reassembly.
Assembly instructions
- Clean the housing and the seal, dust the surface before installation.
- Position the glass and press evenly with a press or suitable wedges.
- When reassembling, check for proper contact and alignment. A water resistance test is recommended for watches exposed to water.
2.0mm Watch Glass FAQ
Can I replace a 2.5 mm glass with a 2.0 mm one?
Not recommended. The 2.0 mm height describes the insertion location intended by the case. A gap may affect the fit, seal tightness, and sealing. Choose the height specified by the manufacturer or measured on your case.
How to measure diameter correctly
Measure the housing with a caliper at several points to check for roundness. Then select the corresponding diameter and, if necessary, add a tolerance of +0.1 mm depending on the type of seal used.
What is the difference between sapphire, mineral and acrylic?
Sapphire : Maximum scratch resistance and very clear finish. Mineral : Good compromise between clarity and cost. Acrylic : Lightweight and easy to repolish, appreciated for its vintage aesthetic.
Does the domed or curved profile change the placement height?
No. The profile refers to the visible shape of the glass. The 2.0 mm refers to the height of the insertion location in the housing, which must remain consistent with your seat and gasket.
