Problems solved by technology

[0003] There is a problem in the metal stud band that, since the metal stud itself does not deform but only bends at the connection part of the metal stud, when the metal stud band is worn on the wrist, the band and There will be a gap between the wrists, making it difficult to improve the sense of fit
[0004] A leather strap or a resin strap has a problem that, although the leather strap or the resin strap bends as a whole, it is easier to improve the fit than a metal knuckle band, but the metal knuckle band does not match the metal knuckle band. ratio, its durability and water resistance are reduced, and it is impossible to obtain a metallic feeling

no. 1 approach

[0048] based on figure 1 , figure 2 Now, the timepiece 1 of the first embodiment will be described.

[0049] Such as figure 1 As shown, the timepiece 1 is a wristwatch having a timepiece case 101 for accommodating a movement, and a timepiece band 10 attached to the timepiece case 101 . In addition, the movement accommodated in the timepiece case 101 may be a crystal movement equipped with a crystal vibrator, battery, motor, wheel train, pointer, etc., or may be a movement equipped with a mainspring, escape wheel, pallet fork, wheel, etc. Mechanical movements such as watches, hands, etc. In addition, a digital display device that does not have hands may be accommodated in the timepiece case 101 .

[0050]For the timepiece case 101 , a timepiece case made of general materials used in timepieces such as stainless steel, gold, platinum, titanium, etc. can be used. In addition, the timepiece case 101 may be formed of the same metallic glass as the timepiece band 10 described ...

no. 2 approach

[0086] refer to Figure 4 Now, the timepiece 2 of the second embodiment will be described. The timepiece 2 has a timepiece band 20 attached to a timepiece case 101 . The timepiece band 20 is configured to include a first band 21 and a second band 22 , one end of which is attached to a lug 102 of a timepiece case 101 . Like the first strap 11 and the second strap 12 of the first embodiment, the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 also have an elastic modulus of 30 GPa to 70 GPa, and an elastic limit of 2% or higher. And 20% or less of the material properties of the metallic glass of a single component. Therefore, specific examples of the metallic glass are also the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0087] The first band 21 and the second band 22 are each bent along the longitudinal direction of the respective bands 21 , 22 . That is, the first strap 21 and the second strap 22 have: base end portions 211, 221 mounted on the watch case 101; end portion; intermediat...

no. 3 approach

[0095] refer to Figures 6 to 8 Next, the timepiece 3 of the third embodiment will be described. The timepiece 3 includes a timepiece exterior member 300 having a timepiece case 301 and a timepiece band 30 . The timepiece exterior member 300 is integrally formed of metallic glass having material properties of an elastic modulus of 30 GPa to 70 GPa and an elastic limit of 2% to 20%. Specific examples of the metallic glass are the same as those of the timepiece bands 10 and 20 of the respective embodiments.

[0096] The timepiece case 301 includes a case body 302 formed in a substantially annular shape, and a dial 303 integrally formed in the case body 302 . Furthermore, the timepiece band 30 includes a first band 31 attached to the 12 o'clock side of the timepiece case 301 , and a second band 32 attached to the 6 o'clock side of the timepiece case 301 . Therefore, the timepiece exterior member 300 is a member in which the case main body 302 , the dial 303 , the first band 31...

Abstract

Provided are a timepiece band that improves durability, water resistance, and fit, an external part for a timepiece, and a timepiece. The timepiece band includes a first band, which is a single part,configured from metallic glass with an elastic modulus greater than or equal to 30 GPa and less than or equal to 70 GPa, and an elastic limit greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 20%;and a second band, which is also a single part, configured from metallic glass with an elastic modulus greater than or equal to 30 GPa and less than or equal to 70 GPa, and an elastic limit greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 20%.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a watch band, a watch exterior member, and a watch. Background technique [0002] As the watch band, as described in Patent Document 1, a metal knot band composed of connecting metal band nodes can be used, or as described in Patent Document 2, a leather strap or a resin strap can be used. . [0003] There is a problem in the metal stud band that, since the metal stud itself does not deform but only bends at the connection part of the metal stud, when the metal stud band is worn on the wrist, the band and There will be gaps between the wrists, making it difficult to improve the sense of fit. [0004] A leather strap or a resin strap has a problem that, although the leather strap or the resin strap bends as a whole, it is easier to improve the fit than a metal knuckle band, but the metal knuckle band does not match the metal knuckle band. Compared, its durability and water resistance are reduced, and it is impossible ...
