ABSTRACT:
A wristwatch is equipped with a case band, a bezel, and a guard. The case band has a circular upwardly directed protrusion to which a transparent dial cover is mounted, a surrounding wall portion forming between itself and the upwardly directed protrusion an arrangement groove extending along this protrusion, and open portions for bezel operation. The bezel having manual holding asperities facing the open portions is rotatably supported in the outer periphery of the upwardly directed protrusion, and arranged in the arrangement groove while forming between itself and the surrounding wall portion a gap extending along the surrounding wall portion. There is arranged in the gap the guard, which is engaged with a detachment preventing portion of the surrounding wall portion and moved in the peripheral direction of the bezel; the guard is movable between a use position where it closes the open portions and obstructs manual holding of the manual holding asperities and a retreated position where it opens the open portions to enable manual holding of the manual holding asperities. The guard is retained at the use position by a positioning means.
