Abstract
A bezel member rotatably mounted to a case band member is provided with an accommodating groove, a pair of passing portions continuous with the accommodating groove at positions spaced apart by approximately 180°, and a pair of escape grooves continuous with both passing portions from the center side of the bezel member and open to the exterior of the case band member. The case band member is provided with engagement grooves arranged in a ring-like fashion so as to be opposed to the accommodating groove, and a ring-like reception groove surrounded by the engagement grooves and continuous with the engagement grooves. A lock member retains the bezel member at an arbitrary rotating position. The lock member has an arcuate spring portion accommodated in the accommodating groove, a pair of pushbutton portions passing through the passing portions and to be pushed in from the outside of the bezel member, and a stopper portion engaged with the engagement grooves and adapted to be detached from the engagement grooves when the pushbutton portions are pushed into the reception groove.
