The invention concerns a device for mounting a pressure sensor simply and precisely on the back cover (11) of a diver's watch or altimeter watch. The pressure sensor (31) is driven into an intermediate ring (33) forming part of a sensor module (30) which further includes an additional PCB (34), a sensor support (35) and connecting elements (38) between the additional PCB (34) and a main PCB of the watch. To ensure very precise positioning relative to the back cover, the intermediate ring (33) includes feet (35) that engage in holes in the additional PCB and in the sensor support. A sealing gasket (32) is radially compressed between the wall of the orifice (12) of the back cover and a tubular casing (47) of the pressure sensor. The back cover (11) is covered externally by a perforated cover.
A watch including a case provided with a back cover resistant to ambient pressure, a pressure sensor mounted in an orifice of the back cover with an intermediate ring, and a printed circuit element connected to the terminals of the pressure sensor, said sensor including a rigid substrate provided with said terminals, a tubular casing secured to the substrate in a water-resistant manner and arranged to fit into the intermediate ring, and a pressure-sensitive element, which is mounted on the substrate and located inside the tubular casing,
