FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the main parts of a wristwatch according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
A circumferential groove 11 continuous to the buckle portion 10a is formed above 0a, and a packing 12 is provided at a lower part 11b of the circumferential groove 11.
The glass 13 is press-fitted and fixed through. On the other hand, a scale 14a is formed on the upper surface and inner slope of the rotating ring 14 made of plastic (for example, acrylic resin, ABS resin, etc.) by printing, molding, or welding an aluminum name plate.
Further, a rotating collar portion 14b is formed on the outer periphery of the lower portion. This rotating ring 14 is heated at a temperature of approximately 80° C. to 100° C., and when the rotating collar portion 14b is softened, it is attached to the upper portion 11a of the circumferential groove 11. Then module 1
After attaching the middle frame 16 to the shell 10 and installing it inside the shell 10,
0 is closed with a back cover 17 to complete the wristwatch. With this configuration, the lower surface 14C of the rotary ring 14 rotates on the upper surface of the glass 16, making the rotation smooth and making it possible to hide the glass fixing part.Also, the rotary ring 14 is made of plastic and inside the body 100. Since the ring rotates, the radial and axial thicknesses of the barrel 10 can be made thinner.Also, the distance between the display member 14a of the rotating ring 14 and the time display hand is smaller than before. Since the rotation ring 14 is close, it has good accuracy (the time can be read).Furthermore, since the rotating ring 14 is made of plastic, a moderate amount of friction can be obtained between the rotating ring 14 and the barrel 10.
It can be rotated against. Incidentally, the body 10 may be made of plastic or metal.
