It’s What’s on the Inside that Counts: 6 Stunning Display Case Backs
People always say it’s what’s on the inside that counts and when it comes to these six luxury timepieces, we have to agree. Each one features a display, or transparent, case back that allows the wearer to marvel at the movement inside.
Frederique Constant Slimline Automatic
Ultra-thin with clean lines, Frederique Constant’s Slimline Automatic features a see-through case back that offers a peak at the FC-306 automatic movement that keeps the timepiece ticking. Roman numeral indexes, hand-polished hands, a date display at 3 o’clock and a leather strap make this a striking dress watch.
IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days
The sapphire glass back adorning the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days displays the IWC-manufactured manual-winding movement. As the name suggests, this watch has 192 hours of Power Reserve as well as a silver-plated dial and a dark brown alligator leather strap.
OMEGA Seamaster 300 OMEGA Co-Axial 41mm
The OMEGA Seamaster 300M OMEGA Master Co-Axial has a self-winding movement with Co-Axial escapement that can be viewed through the timepiece’s case back. The Liquidmetal™ diving scale and unidirectional rotating bezel make this the perfect companion for divers and professionals who work under water.
Breitling Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 46
A large 46mm dial makes the Breitling Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 46 stand out. The transparent sapphire crystal displays the high-performance self-winding mechanical movement inside.
Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80
The Tissot T-Classic Le Locle Powermatic 80’s case back allows the intricate details of the Swiss automatic movement to be seen. The black dial and leather strap elevate the timepiece, making it completely functional for day or night.
NOMOS Glashutte Tetra Goldelse
Stylishly square and in shimmering rose gold, the Nomos Glashutte Tetra Goldelse features a transparent case back that displays the Nomos Alpha movement.

Scott is very proud of the way Feldmar customers are put first: “We regularly go out of our way to meet the needs of our clients. A client once purchased a rather significant watch as a birthday gift for his brother who lived in New York. Our client asked how we were going to deliver the gift and we responded with the typical answer, we would ship it by FedEx. After we answered his question, we could tell that he wanted a more personalized experience for the delivery and offered to have it hand-delivered by one of our associates. He lit up at the thought, and so off went one of our associates to New York City for the day to hand-deliver the gift.”
