[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a watch case with a button-type quick-release structure includes: a watch case body 1 with a semi-enclosed structure and a watch case bottom cover 2 adapted to the watch case body 1; the watch case body 1 is provided with a placement cavity 4 for placing the watch movement, and the watch case bottom cover 2 is installed at the lower end of the watch case body 1 to close the placement cavity 4 and perform the fixed installation of the watch movement.

[0026] A hinge assembly 5 is provided on one side of the watch case body 1 and the watch case back cover 2. The hinge assembly 5 is used to achieve the hinge engagement, so as to achieve the effect of flipping and opening the watch case body 1 and the watch case back cover 2.

[0027] The other end of the watch case body 1 and the watch case back cover 2 is provided with a locking assembly 3, which achieves the effect of fastening and installing the watch case body 1 and the watch case back cover 2 through the locking assembly 3.

[0028] The locking assembly 3 includes: a quick-release lock 31 provided on the case body 1, and a quick-release locking hole 32 provided on the case back cover 2 that is compatible with the quick-release lock 31; the case body 1 and the case back cover 2 achieve the effect of quick installation of the case back cover 2 on the case body 1 by means of the quick-release lock 31 and the quick-release locking hole 32.

[0029] The quick-release latch 31 includes: a quick-release button 314, a connecting pin 312, a quick-release hook 311, and a return spring 313.

[0030] The quick-release hook 311 is disposed in the placement cavity 4. The quick-release hook 311 and the quick-release lock hole 32 are engaged to fix the case back cover 2 on the case body 1. The quick-release button 314 is installed on the side wall of the case body 1. The quick-release button 314 and the quick-release hook 311 are linked together by the connecting pin 312. When the quick-release button 314 is pressed, the connecting pin 312 pushes the quick-release hook 311 to move, so that the quick-release hook 311 and the quick-release lock hole 32 are engaged and disengaged, thereby unlocking the watch.

[0031] The reset spring 313 is located between the quick-release button 314 and the side wall of the watch case body 1. The reset spring 313 pushes the quick-release button 314 outward, so that the quick-release hook 311 can be kept in the locked state continuously, and the quick-release hook 311 can also be automatically reset after unlocking.

[0032] Furthermore, the quick-release hook 311 has a two-section structure.
