Example embodiments relate to replaceable, heated, and wipeable apertures for optical systems. An example embodiment includes an apparatus that includes an optical system (e.g., a camera) with a lens. The apparatus also includes a housing in which the lens is disposed. The housing has a sealing surface and a threated portion. The apparatus further includes a chamfered window that provides a protective aperture for the lens. The apparatus also includes a retainer ring that has a retaining portion and a threaded portion. The retaining portion contacts the chamfer of the window while the threaded portion of the retainer ring threads onto the threaded portion of the housing to hold the window against the sealing surface of the housing and form a watertight seal.
