Abstract: The wristwatch of substantially rectangular shape includes two sliding shutter-type covers (6, 7) sliding over a case (1) to show or to conceal said case via manual action exerted on said shutters. The shutters are secured to the case by holding means (9) distinct from the guide means (8), said means being implemented to exert a vertical force (F) under each of the shutters tending to apply said shutters (6, 7) against the holding means (9) to reduce the shutter friction surface on the case.
