Abstract
A resin watch case with a substantially round bezel is provided with relatively thin lugs or 'horns' for conventional attachment of a strap or band with retractable spring bars having pins passing through holes in the lugs. The lugs are angled downward from the bezel to terminate below it. An integral reinforcing cross member extending between the lugs and which is concealed by the strap and bezel serves to reinforce the thin lugs against breakage. The overall attachment gives the appearance of a thin lug in a resin case which is normally only possible with the strength of a metal case.
