- a layer 18 of adhesive material is arranged on the face of the annular portion 14 bearing on the watch at the ice 103. This layer of adhesive material 18 allows the adjustment device does not move during the adjustment step.
- the perforated part is dimensioned so that the annular piece 14 is of a diameter equal to that of the bezel 12.
- feature makes it possible to have the annular piece 14 which bears on the bezel 102 and not on the ice 103.
- This second variant can be advantageously combined with the first variant, that is to say by depositing a layer 18 of adhesive material on the face of the annular portion 14 bearing on the watch.
- the transition to the adjustment mode is done by pulling the crown B. Once the crown B pulled completely into a determined position, one enters the adjustment mode. Subsequently, we switch from one display mode to another, that is to say, for setting one parameter to another, with P1, sequentially. In each display mode, the display is adjusted with the rotation of the crown and the display is confirmed with P2.
- the annular piece 14 may be made to have several different thicknesses on each of which complementary information 11 is indicated.
