This 55 mm cushion supports the watch case directly on the bench while you open or close the back. The transparent gel body yields under the bezel and crystal, conforming to domed or flat profiles without rigid contact points. It stays put under hand pressure.
Gel contact face
The transparent gel surface yields under the watch face, spreading contact evenly across flat or domed crystals. It supports the bezel without rigid pressure points while you work the caseback.
Fifty-five millimetre disc
We size this disc at 55 mm across to support standard wristwatch cases. It keeps the work close to the bench top, giving your case key or opener a low, stable foundation.
Support during uncasing
Set the watch dial-down into the gel when releasing movement clamps or extracting the caliber. The material holds the assembly still as you draw the stem and lift the movement away.
Cleaning the surface
Dust and bench debris lift off the transparent gel with a quick wash in lukewarm water. Let it dry completely before setting another case onto the face.

Opening a stubborn case back
Snap backs against screw backs against monobloc cases, how a case key and its dies engage a fluted rim, why the case is held in a holder rather than in the hand, and what to do when the back has been opened badly before.
