Your words,
cut into the watch.
Case-back and strap engraving are options in the configurator — $19 each, whatever the length, cut in the workshop before the watch is assembled.
Yes — every AuraMod watch can be engraved. Case-back engraving and strap engraving are both selectable options in the configurator: $19 per engraving — one flat price, whatever the length — up to 40 characters, machine-engraved before assembly. Your text is saved with the build and confirmed with you before anything is cut, so a typo never reaches the bench.
Two places
What you can engrave
One engraving on the back of the case, one on the strap. Either on its own, or both — they are independent options.
Case back · $19
The outside face of the case back, inside the circle of text that is already there. Up to 40 characters, one line. Names, dates, coordinates and short phrases all sit comfortably. Laid out and confirmed with you first; cut before the movement goes in.
Strap · $19
Cut into the outer face of the strap — the side that faces out when the watch is on your wrist, so the line stays visible instead of sitting against your skin. Up to 40 characters, one line. Worth knowing: an engraved strap is made for you, so it cannot be returned separately either.
Ideas
What to engrave
The best engravings are the ones you would not put on a business card. All of these fit inside 40 characters.
| Occasion | What people actually cut | Chars |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding or anniversary | M & J · 12.09.2026 | 18 |
| Milestone birthday | 40 today, deeper | 16 |
| Graduation | Class of ’26 · R.L. | 19 |
| A place that matters | 51.5072°N 0.1276°W | 18 |
| A line you live by | Time you enjoy wasting | 22 |
| Groomsmen | Best man · Sorted. | 18 |
Coordinates are the most personal thing on this list and the least obvious to anyone else — the latitude and longitude of a house, a hospital, a first flat. Every one of these is checked against the character count before the file reaches the laser.
Process
How engraving works
Build the watch
Case, dial, bezel, hands, strap — the usual ten decisions. Engraving is the last step in the same configurator, not a separate order form.
Type your text
Tick case back, strap, or both, then type. The counter stops you at 40 characters and the price updates as you go — $19 per engraving, flat.
We confirm the layout
You get a proof of the exact text and position to approve. Nothing is cut until you reply — this is also where spelling gets caught.
Cut, assembled, tested
Engraved before assembly, so the movement never sees the machine. Then it is assembled, regulated to −5/+8 seconds a day and pressure tested to 100 m as usual. Five to seven working days to dispatch.
Questions
Engraving FAQ
How much does watch engraving cost?
Engraving is $19 for the case back and $19 for the strap — one flat price, whatever the length — added once at checkout. Shipping is free either way, so engraving is the only extra.
How many characters can I engrave?
40 characters per engraving, as a single line. The configurator counts as you type and shows the layout before you order.
Can I return an engraved watch?
An engraved watch is final sale and cannot be returned unless it is faulty or not what you ordered, because the text makes it unsellable to anyone else. The rest of your build is still covered by the 14-day returns policy until it is engraved.
Does engraving affect water resistance or the movement?
No. Engraving is cut on the outside face of the case back and on the outer face of the strap, before final assembly. Every engraved watch still goes through the same 100 m pressure test and the same −5/+8 second a day regulation.

Add a line only you would choose.
Engraving is the last step of the configurator. You can add it to a build in progress, or start from one of the six models.
