Abstract (en)

The timepiece has a middle (4) and a bezel (6) rotating on the middle. The bezel and the middle delimit an annular chamber (38) between them. A sealing joint (40), having two lips, is arranged in the chamber. The joint opens towards the bottom, opposite to an interstice (36) through which the chamber communicates with outside, so that one of the two lips serves as corner in case of water overpressure. The lip has a return unit at its free end. A compressive unit (42) such as an O-ring type joint having a smooth outer surface is housed in the sealing joint.
