Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a watch case with a rotating bezel, as well as a watch equipped with such a case.
  • Watch cases with a rotating bezel are commonly used in diving watches. However, they are suitable for many other activities, especially sports, which require timing.
  • the bezel which generally rotates in one direction (most frequently counterclockwise) is provided with a graduation, typically in tens or quarters, and an index of zero (usually in the form of a triangle one of which points towards the center of the watch).
  • the wearer turns the bezel at the start of the session to align the index with the minute hand. During its journey, it then indicates, to the right of the graduation of the bezel, the time elapsed during the session.
  • This mechanism is of complex architecture and delicate to use.
  • the positioning of the telescope in its unstable angular position must be carried out extremely precisely, otherwise the pins tend to return to their normal position of use in which they prevent the withdrawal of the telescope. It is difficult for a normal user to replace the glasses himself, especially in the midst of sports activities. In fact, it seems that this operation can only be carried out successfully in the workshop.
  • the toothed indexing ring is no longer held on the middle part, and care should be taken not to drop it or even misplace it.
  • a second objective is, while satisfying the first objective, to minimize the number of parts ensuring the holding of the bezel.
  • a third objective of the invention is to form a complete interchangeable unit (integrating the bezel), the parts of which remain integral during removal.
  • the invention proposes to provide a solution in which no individual part, after dismantling the bezel, is not connected to the bezel or to the middle part of the watch case, so as to avoid loss or damage to the watch case. such an individual part by a user of the watch in question or a positioning error during a reassembly of a bezel on the caseband.
  • the telescope In its deployed position, the telescope is capable of rotating in order to be placed in one or other of the positions of the plurality of stable angular positions.
  • To remove the telescope it should be put in an angular position allowing it to be pushed in, then press it towards its retracted position so as to place the coupling system in the coupling configuration, and, finally, to rotate the telescope (which causes the strapping) to disengage each fin from its respective bayonet. Therefore, the sub-assembly comprising the bezel and the fixing structure, on board with it, can be removed from the middle part and replaced by another sub-assembly comprising a different bezel, the fixing structure being able to be assembled with the different bezel. or each bezel has its own fixing structure.

  • transverse or “horizontal” denotes a general orientation in a plane perpendicular to the central X axis.
  • radial designates a general direction along an axis perpendicular and concurrent with the central X axis.
  • tangential designates a general direction along a circle around the central X axis.
  • top and bottom are used in their classic definition, in a position of the box 1 where the latter is laid flat, horns down.
  • the middle 2 defines a peripheral track 4.
  • This track has a circular contour around the central X axis and extends in a transverse plane.
  • the track is bordered internally by a sleeve 5 which projects axially projecting from the track 4, and externally by a flange 6 which also extends axially projecting from the track.
