The V2 Ultrathin Royal Oak case in black PVD — the darkest, most stealth-oriented finish in the 37mm V2 range. The deep matte black coating over 316L stainless steel absorbs light across the angular octagonal bezel and integrated lugs, creating a monolithic profile that lets gold, rose gold, or silver dial accents stand out sharply by contrast. At just 9.95 mm thick with a solid caseback, 37 mm diameter, and 48 mm lug-to-lug, the proportions remain sleek and wearable. Sapphire crystal with blue or clear AR coating, screw-down crown, 100 m water resistance. Compatible with NH35, NH36, NH38, NH70, NH71, and NH72 movements. Solid or exhibition caseback.

Why the V2 Ultrathin
The Black PVD is the most dramatic finish in the V2 range — it turns the 37 mm octagonal case into a dark canvas where every other component becomes the accent. Gold hands on a black case read completely differently than gold hands on silver. The V2 platform achieves this at 9.95 mm thick, making it one of the slimmest Royal Oak-style cases you can build with. The key trade-off with black PVD is scratch visibility: deep impacts can expose the silver steel beneath, which shows more on a dark surface than on lighter finishes. For builders who prioritize the stealth aesthetic and handle their watches with care, the Black PVD delivers the most impactful visual result in the lineup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What movements fit this case?
The Royal Oak 37mm V2 case accepts NH35, NH36, NH38, NH70, NH71, and NH72 movements. All standard Seiko NH-family movements share the same fitment. The 7S26 and 7S36 are not compatible due to a different stem.
What is the difference between solid and exhibition caseback?
The solid caseback provides the thinnest profile at 9.95 mm with a clean, sealed back in matching black PVD. The exhibition caseback has a sapphire window that displays the movement inside, adding 0.35 mm for a total of 10.3 mm. Both maintain 100 m water resistance.
What dial and hand colors work best with black PVD?
Black PVD is the highest-contrast base. Gold or rose gold dials and hands create the most dramatic two-tone effect. Silver provides a cooler, more subtle contrast. A black dial with black PVD case produces a full stealth build where only the lume is visible in low light.
