Abstract: A structure for coupling a back cover with a case band in a wrist watch which comprises a case band having a long groove on the outer wall of a band attaching portion, a spring member being fitted in said long groove of the case band so as to outwardly project a protruded portion of said spring member and a part thereof being fixed to said case band, a back cover having a side wall with a long hole bored at the position corresponding to that of said spring member, and an elastic member for energizing and engaging said back cover with said case band along the axial direction thereof so as to cover a module. According to this structure, a compact, thin and highly waterproof wrist watch can be assembled, while disassembly thereof can be effected by merely pushing a portion of said spring member protruded from said long hole thereinto.

Abstract: An external operation device for electronic timepieces having a switch unit made up of an array of a plurality of electric switches is inserted in an external member of a timepiece and said electric switches being electrically connected to an internal module.

Abstract: A pushbutton for actuating a switch of an electronic timepiece wherein the pushbutton may be reduced in diameter. According to the present invention, in order to reduce the diameter of the pushbutton, a packing of resilient material for providing a watertight seal is pressed into a pipe secured to a hole in watch case, the packing is so arranged that it may be axially moved in the pipe by the pushbutton body for actuating a switch provided in the watch case.
