Conventionally, the gold plating of exterior parts for watches has been applied using nickel and nickel metal plating, using a watch case as an example.
A cobalt alloy undercoat of 1 to 5 microns is applied, and then Au-Ag, Au-Cu, Au-Ni-In,
Gold alloy plating such as Au-Pd was applied to about 5 microns.

However, when the surface is uneven like a lined finish, it is difficult for the plating to completely cover the valleys of the lines, making it susceptible to corrosion under harsh usage environments. It was hot.

Generally, methods have been adopted to increase the thickness of the base plating or gold plating, or to coat the base with transparent resin. There were drawbacks such as the streak finish's weight disappearing and the appearance being impaired, and the transparent resin coating causing scratches and peeling, resulting in poor durability.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, as a result of intensive research into whether the corrosion resistance could be improved by under-plating compared to conventional ones, the present invention was developed by applying nickel-phosphorus alloy plating as the under-plating for gold plating, and further applying tin-cobalt alloy plating. It was found that corrosion resistance was dramatically improved by applying the coating.

According to the present invention, nickel-phosphorus alloy plating can be performed by either electrolytic plating or electroless plating, and for streak finishing, electroless plating is preferred. In addition, the phosphorus concentration in the precipitation area is 5 to 15%.
is appropriate. Regarding tin-cobalt alloy plating, it was found that a tin composition of 80 to 86% gave the best results in corrosion resistance.

Example 1 A watch case was made by forging a brass material and then surface-processing it. After degreasing with trichloride and alkali and pickling, a nickel-phosphorus alloy plating of 3 microns was applied as a base plating, and then a tin-cobalt alloy was applied on top of that. A plating of 0.5 micron was applied. The plating bath and plating conditions used for this base plating are shown below.
