A stretchable watch band can include braided strands that provide a comfortable fit around the wrist of the user. The watch band can stretch and conform to the user based on the elasticity within each strand and based on the ability of the strands to move relative to each other. End sections of the watch band can include attachment elements that securely connect the watch band to a housing of the watch. The end sections can be configured to releasable connect to the housing in a manner that is reliable and easy for a user. Additionally, the watch band can provide a smooth transition from the size and/or shape of the housing to a size and/or shape of a continuous section of the watch band. Additionally, the watch band can conceal portions thereof other than the braided strands when connected to the housing of the watch.

An exterior member that is favorably manufactured, a case having the exterior member and a timepiece having the case are provided. The exterior member includes an exterior main body section in which a first resin layer is provided on one side of a sheet member formed of carbon fiber and a cutout recess section from which a portion of the sheet member is exposed is provided in the first resin layer on the one side of the sheet member, and a protection member which covers the cutout recess section of the first resin layer. Accordingly, the exterior member is favorably manufactured with its strength being increased.

A timepiece according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a case band which has an opening on the upper surface side thereof, and which has a recess in an inner peripheral portion thereof; a bezel (windshield bezel) to which a glass (windshield) is fixed and which is mounted to the upper surface side of the case band; a protrusion which is provided at the portion of the bezel inserted into the inner side of the case band and which protrudes toward the inner peripheral portion so as not to enter the recess; and a stop member which is rotatably mounted to the bezel, which is made swingable between the upper side and the lower side of the protrusion by getting over the protrusion while undergoing elastic deformation, and the upper portion of which abuts a ceiling portion of the recess and the lower portion of which abuts the protrusion in a state in which the bezel is mounted to the case band to be respectively engaged with the case band and the bezel.

A watch case including a rotating bezel and a middle part, the bezel being mounted such that it is capable of moving in rotation on the middle part, the bezel and the middle part defining therebetween an annular chamber internally including a device for creating a friction torque between the bezel and the middle part, the device including a compressing member and a braking element, the compressing member exerting a compressive stress on the braking element under the effect whereof the braking element is pressed against the bezel.

A case including a case member having a back cover attached thereto, and a cover member which is arranged on a side of the back cover opposite to the case member side while covering an outer circumferential surface of the case member and on which band attachment sections are provided corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the case member.

Disclosed are a portable apparatus case, a portable apparatus, and a timepiece allowing easy attachment. A timepiece case includes: a case main body, a first bow having a first passage hole and provided on the case main body, a strap one end portion of which is mounted to the first bow and the other end portion of which is passed through the first passage hole, and a fixation member provided on at least one of the first bow and a main portion of the strap extending from the first bow to the first passage hole and detachably connected to the strap.

A timepiece is equipped with a case that includes a case middle, a pusher, and a locking device for this pusher. The pusher is arranged movably in a translational manner in an actuation axis. The locking device contains a blocker that is movable in a translational manner along the actuation axis and with the ability to be displaced between a locking position and an unlocking position, in which positions the pusher is respectively to the locking and unlocking positions blocked and free in translation. The locking device contains in addition a control rotatably mounted in a general plane of the case between a first position and a second position corresponding respectively to the locking and unlocking positions for the blocker, this control containing structure for driving the blocker between its locking and unlocking positions.

A structure for a watch lug includes a watch case having a first positioning cavity and a second positioning cavity, a first watch lug inserted into the first positioning cavity, a second watch lug inserted into the second positioning cavity, and a coupling medium, wherein the first and second watch lugs are fixed to the watch case by the coupling medium.

A back (1) for a watch case (50), the back (1) including a first element (10) arranged so as to be screwed onto the watch case (50), and a second element (20) including an end face bearing a pattern (M), the second element (20) being mounted such that it can move in rotation about an axis (C) passing through the centre of the case (50), wherein the second element (20) has a brake arranged so as to hold same relative to the first element (10) in different angular positions about the rotational axis (C), the brake being disposed between the first and second elements (10, 20).
