It is characterised by the fact that the back is fixed on one side to the middle bezel by some projections rigidwith the back and engaging in some grooves provided in the corresponding horns and on the other side by a locking device cooperating with each of the corresponding horns.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 show respectively in plan and in elevation a square water resistant watch case.
  • This watch case comprises a middle bezel 1 provided with four horns 2, 3, 4 and 5 for securing the strap, a back 6 and a glass 7.
  • the back 6 is provided on the one hand with two catches 8 and 9 which engage during the securing of the back, slightly obliquely in two corresponding housings 8 and 9 formed in the horns 2 and 3 respectively. From the side opposite to these catches, the back has two ears 11 and 12 made in one piece with the back, and which, during the securing of the back, engage in recesses 13 and 14 respectively, formed in the horns, in such a way that these ears are hidden, when the watch is worn.
  • the ears are then fixed to each of the horns by means of a pin passing through the holes 15 and 16 formed respectively in each of the ears and each of the horns.
  • the water resistance of the case is assured by a packing ring of water resistance 17 disposed between the heel 18 of the glass 7 and the back 6.
  • a pin to connect the ears and the horns, one can also connect them by means of a screw.
  • the cars can also be replaced by circular hollows formed, at the level of the horns, partially on the back and in which engages a part of the head of a screw, screwed in the middle and which applies the back against the middle.
  • These hollows can, finally, be replaced by brackets, made in one piece with the back, and which applies the back against the middle under the action of screws screwed into the middle.
  • the projections 8 and 9 can be constituted by pins driven into holes formed in the back.
  • This construction can be applied to a round watch as well as to a shaped one, either water resistant or not.
  • Watch case comprising a middle bezel provided with two first horns on one side and two second horns on the other side, and a back fixed to the middle bezel, characterized by the fact that the back is fixed on the one side to the middle bezel by projections rigid with the back and engaging in grooves formed in the corresponding first horns, and on the other side by -a locking device cooperating with each of the corresponding second horns.
