A watch case construction incorporating a pair of watch band lugs. The watch case may include an upper casing portion defining two opposing pairs of upper casing apertures and a lower casing portion defining two opposing pairs of lower casing apertures, with the upper casing portion being mated to the lower casing portion so that each upper casing aperture overlaps a lower casing aperture. The watch case also has a pair of opposing band lugs, with each band lug having a band portion for affixing a band thereto and a pair of attachment portions each defining a lug aperture. The attachment portions are interposed between the upper casing portion and the lower portion so that each lug aperture overlaps an upper casing aperture and a lower casing aperture. Still further, the case will include a plurality of fasteners, with a fastener extending through each of the upper casing apertures, the lug apertures, and the lower casing apertures to secure the band lug to the watch casing.
