Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date , which amends the previously issued ASU to provide for a one year deferral from the original effective date. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases . This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply , relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisio ns . T he ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption available . We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.  In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. The ASU is applied on a retrospective basis, and will become effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2019; with early adoption available to us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2018. The n et periodic benefit cost for the year ended September 30, 2016 was $4.5 million ; of which the service cost component was $2.9 million and other components were $1.6 million. The n et periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2017 will be $7.6 million , of which the service cost component is $3.9 mill ion and other cost components are $3.8 million.  In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If goodwill impairment is realized, the amount recognized will be the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU must be applied on a prospective basis and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 2021, with early adoption available. We chose to adopt the standard immediately , with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognized $1.0 million of costs in connection with amending the Credit Agreement that has been recognized as interest expense. On March 6, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement expanding the overall capacity of the Revolver Facility to $700 million, reducing the interest rate margin to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% , or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% , reducing the commitment fee to 35bps , and extending the maturity to March 2022 . The Company recognized $2.6 million of costs in connection with amending the cash revolver that has been deferred as debt issuance costs. Subsequent to the six months ended April 2, 2017, on April 7, 2017, the Company entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement under its Term Loans reducing the interest rate margins applicable to the USD Term Loans to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin of 2.00% per annum, or base rate plus margin of 1.00% .  Subsequent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement discussed above, the Term Loans and Revolver Facility are subject to variable interest rates, (i) the USD Term Loan is subject to either adjusted LIBOR, subject to a 0.75% floor plus margin of 2.00% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus margin of 1.00% per annum, (ii) the CAD Term Loan is subject to either CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus 3.50% per annum, or base rate with a 1.75% floor plus 2.50% per annum, (iii) the Euro Term Loan is subject to either EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate), subject to a 0.75% floor plus 2.75% pe r annum, with no base rate option available and (iv) the Revolver Facility is subject to either adjusted LIBOR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum.

This is calculated as the ratio of (i) the principal amount of third party debt for borrowed money (including unreimbursed letter of credit drawings), capital leases and purchase money debt, at period-end, less cash and cash equivalents, to (ii) adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months. The maximum total leverage ratio should be no greater than 6.0 to 1.0.

Derivatives [Abstract]
Derivatives	NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES  Cash Flow Hedges   Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At April 2 , 2017, the Company had a series of zinc and brass swap contracts outstanding through August 2018 . The derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $2.6 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016.    April 2, 2017 September 30, 2016  (in millions, except notional) Notional Contract Value Notional Contract Value  Zinc swap contracts 6.8 Tons $ 15.7 6.7 Tons $ 12.8  Brass swap contracts 1.4 Tons $ 6.1 1.0 Tons $ 4.0  Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At April 2 , 2017, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2018 . The derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $2.2 million, net of tax. At April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $252.9 million and $224.8 million, respectively.  Net Investment Hedge  On September 20, 2016, SBI issued €425 million ag gregate principal amount of 4.00% Notes. The 4.00% Notes are denominated in Euros and were designated as a net investment hedge of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. As a result, the translation of the Euro denominated debt is recognized as AOCI with any ineffective portion recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses on the statement of income when the aggregate principal exceeds the net investment in its Euro denominated subsidiaries. Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries. As of April 2, 2017, the hedge was fully effective and no ineffective portion was recognized in earnings. Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes  Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are economic hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At April 2 , 2017, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through December 2017. At April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had $202.4 million and $131.4 million , respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.  Commodity Swaps. The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in the fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At April 2 , 2017, the Company had a series of commodity swaps outstanding through September 2017. The Company had the following commodity swaps outstanding as of April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016:   April 2, 2017 September 30, 2016  (in millions, except notional) Notional Contract Value Notional Contract Value  Silver 10.4 troy oz. $ 0.2 31.0 troy oz. $ 0.6  Fair Value of Derivative Instruments  The fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position is as follows:     (in millions) Line Item April 2, 2017 September 30, 2016  Derivative Assets  Commodity swaps - designated as hedge Receivables—Other $ 4.1 $ 2.9  Commodity swaps - designated as hedge Deferred charges and other 0.2 —  Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Receivables—Other 4.1 $ 5.5  Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Deferred charges and other 0.1 0.1  Foreign exchange contracts - not designated as hedge Receivables—Other 0.4 0.2  Total Derivative Assets $ 8.9 $ 8.7  Derivative Liabilities  Interest rate swaps - designated as hedge Other current liabilities $ — $ 0.7  Interest rate swaps - designated as hedge Accrued interest — 0.4  Commodity swaps - designated as hedge Accounts payable 0.1 0.1  Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Accounts payable 1.3 1.7  Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Other long-term liabilities 0.2 0.1  Foreign exchange contracts - not designated as hedge Accounts payable 0.6 0.2  Total Derivative Liabilities $ 2.2 $ 3.2  The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was less than $0 .1 million as of April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016.  The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016, there was no cash collateral o utstanding. In addition, as of April 2 , 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions. The cash collateral is included in Other Receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the updates recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date , which amends the previously issued ASU to provide for a one year deferral from the original effective date. As a result, the ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, with early adoption available to us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases . This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Although the ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists. The ASU can be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply , relating to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, along with the ability to use hindsight in the evaluation of lease decisio ns . T he ASU will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, with early adoption available . We are assessing the impact this pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have not determined the materiality or method of adoption.  In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , which requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension costs within the statement of income. The amendment provides guidance requiring the service cost component to be recognized consistent with other compensation costs arising from service rendered by employees during the period, and all other components to be recognized separately outside of the subtotal of income from operations. The ASU is applied on a retrospective basis, and will become effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2019; with early adoption available to us in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2018. The n et periodic benefit cost for the year ended September 30, 2016 was $4.5 million ; of which the service cost component was $2.9 million and other components were $1.6 million. The n et periodic benefit cost for the year ending September 30, 2017 will be $7.6 million , of which the service cost component is $3.9 mill ion and other cost components are $3.8 million.  In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. If goodwill impairment is realized, the amount recognized will be the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU must be applied on a prospective basis and will become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 2021, with early adoption available. We chose to adopt the standard immediately , with no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
