Abstract

Cette boîte de montre comprend une enveloppe protectrice entourée d'une carrure (5) et d'une lunette (9). L'enveloppe protectrice comporte une glace (3), une paroi latérale (2) et un fond (1). Une surface périphérique plane s'étendant sur tout le bord de la face interne de la glace est en contact avec une surface d'appui homologue de la paroi latérale (2) dont au moins une portion forme la largeur de la section d'une structure résistante à la compression à faces latérales parallèles (SR), perpendiculaires à la surface d'appui et qui s'étend, sans solution de continuité, jusqu'au fond (1) de l'enveloppe. Des moyens de fixation et d'étanchéité des éléments de l'enveloppe comportent au moins un joint annulaire (4) entourant la face latérale de la glace (3) et la face latérale externe de la paroi latérale (2) de l'enveloppe et des moyens de serrage radial (4, 5a) de ce joint.

This watch case includes a protective envelope surrounded by a middle part (5) and a bezel (9). The protective envelope comprises an ice (3), a side wall (2) and a bottom (1). A planar peripheral surface extending over the entire edge of the inner face of the ice is in contact with a bearing surface homologous to the side wall (2), at least a portion of which forms the width of the section of a structure resistant to compression with parallel side faces (SR), perpendicular to the bearing surface and which extends, without a solution of continuity, to the bottom (1) of the envelope. Fixing and sealing means of the elements of the envelope comprise at least one annular seal (4) surrounding the lateral face of the ice (3) and the external lateral face of the lateral wall (2) of the envelope and radial clamping means (4, 5a) of this seal.
