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.
