The water-resistant watch case includes at least one crystal mounted on an upper side of a middle, a fastening gasket positioned between an upper annular inner wall of the middle and an upper annular outer wall of the crystal. The crystal includes an annular peripheral surface below the upper annular outer wall inclined at an angle smaller than 90° in relation to an axis perpendicular to a plane of the watch case. The peripheral surface comes into contact against an annular inner surface of the middle inclined at an angle similar to the inclination of the annular peripheral surface and below the upper annular inner wall of the middle. The annular peripheral surface and/or the annular inner surface of the middle includes a domed contact portion for a contact on an annular contact line between the two surfaces.

Water-resistant watch case

A watch case for a wristwatch including a case middle having a central axis, a case back, bracelet attachment device removably connected to the case middle, and an annular ring rotatably mounted about the central axis of the case middle, the annular ring being provided with mechanical locking device capable, when the annular ring is in a locking position, of cooperating with complementary engagement device arranged on the bracelet attachment device, in order to secure the attachment device to the case middle. The annular ring is held between the case middle and the case back and the mechanical locking device include at least one resilient member, the member being elastically engaged with the complementary engagement device when the annular ring is in the locking position.

Watch case provided with an annular ring, and a wristwatch and a wristwatch assembly kit comprising the same

The stem-crown of a water-resistant watch case includes a tubular stem inserted into a tubular opening of a middle part of the watch case, and a crown including a first portion connected in part to the stem and a second handling portion. The first portion includes an annular contact surface inclined at less than 90&#xb0; with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the stem-crown starting from the first portion towards the outside of the second portion. In a rest position, the first portion is in contact against an annular receiving surface of the middle part of complementary shape to one end of the tubular opening towards the outside. The crown further includes a washer under a bearing part of the first portion and contacting the stem, being configured to bear in an annular slot of the middle part between the tubular opening and the annular receiving surface.
