Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain outer parts for a watch remarkably improved in corrosion resistance, by applying Ni-P alloy plating layer and then Sn-Co alloy plating layer as undercoats for a gold plating layer. CONSTITUTION:As undercoats, Ni-P alloy plating layer is applied, and then Sn- Co alloy plating layer is applied thereonto. Thereafter, gold plating layer is applied, so that the corrosion resistance of the outer parts for a watch can be remarkably improved. Said Ni-P alloy plating layer may be formed by either one of electroplating or electroless plating, and the concentration of P in the deposite is preferably at about 5-15%. As for the Sn-Co alloy plating layer, one having the composition of Sn about 80-86% has the optimum effect on corrosion resistance.
