Abstract: An automatic safety valve for a timepiece, especially for a diving watch. The valve includes a valve head, a tube designed to be secured in a case of the timepiece, and an evacuation channel arranged so as to be in fluidic communication with the inside of the case when the safety valve is in an open configuration so as to evacuate an excess of fluid. The safety valve further includes a pressure regulator arranged inside the evacuation channel to maintain the outlet speed of the fluid.

Abstract: A crown head for a timepiece includes a cap, a tube secured in a timepiece case, a central pipe engaged with the tube, and a safety valve with a discharge channel in fluid communication with the inside of the case when the valve is in an open configuration, to discharge excess fluid. The safety valve also includes a piston fitted inside the central pipe and an elastic member to cooperate with the piston, which can be displaced axially according to the pressure variations inside the case. The crown head also includes a blockage which prevents separation of the cap and the tube. The blockage includes a shoulder arranged on the inner wall of the tube, and includes a support surface against which part of the piston can abut, and a rim provided at the base of the central pipe to abut against a shoulder on the piston.

Abstract: The invention relates to a screw-down orientable crown comprising a cover integral with a tube and receiving a distinctive sign, a fixed body pressed into a watch case middle and intended to receive the tube, and means for adjusting the angular orientation of the cover with respect to the case middle. According to the invention, the means for adjusting the angular orientation of the cover comprise a ring arranged to be screwed onto the tube, said ring comprising first indexing means arranged to cooperate with second indexing means formed in the body, the ring being pressed in and positioned on the body via the first and second indexing means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a crown head for a timepiece, comprising a cap, a tube which is designed to be secured in a case of the timepiece, and a central pipe which is designed to be engaged with the tube, the central pipe and the cap forming an assembly which can be placed in different axial positions relative to the tube, the crown head also comprising a safety valve comprising a discharge channel which is designed to be able to be in fluid communication with the inside of the case when the valve is in an open configuration, in order to discharge excess fluid, the said safety valve also comprising a piston fitted inside the central pipe and an elastic member designed to cooperate with the piston, which is configured to be displaced axially according to the pressure variations inside the case, the crown head also comprising blocking means which prevent separation of the cap and the tube.

Abstract: A crown for timepieces which has improved sealing regardless of its position. To achieve this, the crown includes a tube; a cap including a cover and an axial skirt; a sealing gasket disposed between the screwed or pressed-in tube and the axial skirt of the cap; a pipe fixed to the cap, the pipe and the cap forming an assembly able to be placed in different axial positions relative to the screwed or pressed-in tube; wherein the crown further includes a guide ring integral with one end of the screwed or pressed-in tube, the guide ring including a bearing surface arranged to exert an axial pressure on the sealing gasket in one of the axial positions of the cap.
