Chapter Rings: The Missing Piece
A chapter ring sits between the dial and crystal, carrying minute markers. It frames the dial and completes the build — but only if sized correctly.
What It Does
- Carries minute track: numerals or tick marks around the edge
- Fills the gap: covers the space between dial edge and case rehaut
- Adds depth: layered look between dial and crystal
Sizing
Chapter rings are matched to case model and dial diameter — an SKX007-style ring won't fit a 39mm case. Match inner diameter to your dial, outer to your case.
Installation Notes
- Rings sit loosely on the movement spacer or dial — no adhesive needed in most builds
- Check alignment with the date window before closing the case
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need one?
If your dial lacks a minute track, yes — it completes legibility. Some clean dials intentionally skip it.
Chapter ring vs rehaut?
The rehaut is part of the case; the chapter ring is a separate removable piece. See our comparison guide.
