Display Casebacks

Today, some views of display casebacks on watches from my collection.

I don't have many of them but I have some.

Display casebacks on affordable watches is a relatively recent thing. Many of them are made in China.

Personally, I like display casebacks. It is good to be able to have a look at the movement, especially if it is a chrono.

Here is my 2004 Vostok Troyka watch.

Usually, display casebacks are screw-on case backs

Not so is this 2012 Slava 2428 which has a snap-on display caseback.

The display caseback on my Strela 3133 Poljot Chrono is "sapphire glass".

And this Molnija pocket watch is all see-through... but it is plastic crystals.
