To provide a timepiece in which it is possible to promote an edge thinning of an edge member without impairing an exchangeability of a gasket between the edge member to which a glass has been fixed and a case band, and a selectivity of a fixation means of the glass to the edge member. In a case band of an armor case in which a timepiece movement with a dial has been built in, there is provided an inner periphery convex part forming a fit hole while protruding to a case band inside. In an annular edge member which is overlapped to a front side of the case band and to which a glass has been fixed, there are provided a tubular fit part fitted to a fit hole, and a dial cover site covering a peripheral part surface of the dial. An annular seal gasket made of an elastic material is nipped, in an outside than the fit hole, between the edge member and the case band. Plural threaded holes are formed over the inner periphery convex part and the fit part, and there is made such that one part of each of the respective threaded holes is included in a projected region of the seal gasket to a back side. The edge member is retained to the case band by detachably screwing a threaded-axle-like connection member to each of the respective threaded holes from back sides of the inner periphery convex part and the fit part. |

A watchcase coupling structure including an outer rim and coupling pins adapted to couple a front cap and a rear cap, wherein the coupling pins may be mounted in the outer rim and the rear cap without relying upon a threading-in method. Each of these coupling pins may take various configurations. Specifically, it may be the one which has an eccentricity by an amount corresponding to a margin required to adjust the force with which the packing interposed between the front cap and the rear cap is clamped or the one which is provided on its head with a slant portion to facilitate the operation of mounting. Furthermore, it may be the one which is provided on the front end with a notch or the like or the one which has a flange to prevent the pin from falling off. To employ the pin having the flange, the outer rim is provided with a keyhole-shaped notch and the circular head of the pin is symmetrically cut away to present a pair of parallel surfaces so that the pin head may be soothly guided along said keyhole-shaped notch. |

A crystal is secured in a watch case in a fluid tight manner by means of a bushing of compressible semirigid material such as nylon. The bushing fits into an annular recess at the front of the watch case and is pressed tightly against an annular wall of the recess by a compression ring which fits into an inner portion of the bushing and overlies the peripheral portion of the watch dial. The crystal fits into an outer portion of the bushing and is positioned axially by the compression ring. A tension ring surrounds an outer portion of the bushing and presses it tightly against the periphery of the crystal to provide a fluid tight seal.
