Abstract
The dial () of the watch is fitted with an indicator (), preferably with a hand (), which displays the function fulfilled by a control crown (), respectively, in each axial position of the crown, including a highly water resistant position in the case of a screwed-in crown. The indicator is controlled by axial movements of a sleeve () secured to the crown, via a transmission mechanism () including a slide block () that is mobile parallel to an axis of rotation () of the crown. The hand is secured to a pinion () meshed with a rack () arranged on a slide block. The slide block includes a flexible part () between a back part that slides in a groove (), and a front arm () provided with a lateral finger () engaged in an annular groove of the sleeve. This transmission is compact and facilitates assembly and removal.
