Description

Tragbare Uhren, insbesondere Armbanduhren werden des öfteren mit Zusatzfunktionen zusätz­ lich zur Zeitablesung ausgestattet. Die Hinzufügung von Zusatzfunktionen verbessert die Nutz­ ungsmöglichkeit einer Uhr beträchtlich. So ist beispielsweise bekannt, daß die Benutzung einer drehbaren Lünette mit Zeitangaben, die das Ablesen der Dauer eines Tauchganges erleichtern, als sogenannte "Taucher-Uhren" auf dem Markt sind.Portable watches, especially wristwatches, are often supplemented with additional functions Equipped for time reading. The addition of additional functions improves the utility Possibility of a watch considerably. For example, it is known that the use of a rotating bezel with times that make it easier to read the duration of a dive, are on the market as so-called "divers watches".

Diesem gegenüber liegt ein auf das Zifferblatt aufgedruckter oder ein auf dem Zifferblatt auf­ gelegter Ring, der auch mit Markierungen und Währungen wie DM, EURO, usw. oder deren Symbolen versehen ist. Durch Drehen des äusseren Ringes, der die Einteilung 1-10 in Strichen und Zahlen hat, kann man den jeweiligen Währungskurs gegenüber dem inneren Ring einstel­ len, sodass sich dann jede Währungsgrösse auf dem äusseren Ring zur passenden Währungs­ grösse des inneren Ringes ablesen lässt. Um keine Unübersichtlichkeit auf den Skalenringen entstehen zu lassen, sind nur die Zahlen 1 bis 10! benutzt.The invention relates to a watch and primarily a wristwatch consisting of egg watch case, on which a ring with markings, the currency scale ring, that surrounds the dial inside or outside the watch glass and is rotatably mounted.

By turning the outer ring that divides the division 1-10 and has numbers, you can set the respective exchange rate against the inner ring len, so that each currency size on the outer ring is the appropriate currency the size of the inner ring. To avoid confusion on the scale rings to let arise, are only the numbers 1 to 10! used.
