<p>The sealed watch case comprises an assembly wherein a gasket bead is applied to predetermined locations on the watch case (12) and case back (13) prior to assembly. The gasket bead consists of a plastic or elastomeric material (31) which is applied in the form of a gasket bead to the crystal seat in the watch case, the case back seat (17) in the watch case or either predetermined locations in the case back. The bead provides a fixed, formed in place and flexible gasket arrangement between the components of the watch case assembly by prevent entry of foreign matter into the watch case. The bead becomes an integral part of the watch case assembly, yet disassembly does not impair the effectiveness of the bead upon subsequent reassembly.</p> |
