What are the tolerances between crystal and dial and everything in between

I was pondering this while resting between exercises at the gym today.

The rehaut doesn't look very deep at all, which doesn't leave agreat deal of room for a robust crystal and the dial, three hands and the spaces in between.

Quite curious.

I've also never met or heard of anyone actually breaking the crystal, clearly they do, but obviously stand up well to the day to day knocks.

Tight tolerance for sure but hands are nearly touching. Not that different than any other watch. People break crystals all the time usually by dropping on bathroom floor.

A great deal of CAD engineering goes into the dimensional design.

This isn’t a one-and-done process. So it’s no wonder why it all fits.

I'd still be curious to know how many mm or fractions thereof it all is.
