Abstract

The invention relates to a watch the watch case of which comprises a middle (2) and a rotating bezel (3). The watch case is provided with a bezel locking system. The system comprises a rotary crown (6) which is rigidly attached to a shaft (9), the latter being arranged in a radial hole (7) in the middle. By rotating the crown (6), the user can screw or unscrew the shaft with respect to the hole. The shaft comprises a frustoconical section (12) which interacts with a pin (21) mounted perpendicularly to the shaft, and biased towards the shaft by a spring (22). By screwing the shaft (9) into thehole (7), the frustoconical section pushes the pin into a receiving space (15) provided on the inner surface of the bezel (3), which locks the bezel. The unscrewing of the shaft (9) automatically disengages the pin (21) outside of the receiving space, by virtue of a return force exerted by the spring (22). According to a preferred embodiment, the crown incorporates a helium valve mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wristwatch provided with a rotating bezel. Background technique [0002] The rotating bezel of a watch is mainly used in sports watches to mark points in time that are used as reference points for the duration of sporting or other activities. For certain types of watches, such as diver's watches, it is important to be able to lock the bezel to avoid any untimely actuation and loss of time markers related to the duration of the event. Various locking systems have been developed, often complex and expensive to manufacture, or not ensuring a secure locking of the bezel.
