A pressure-relief valve (1) for a watch case comprising:
- a tube (2) intended to be fastened to said watch case, said tube (2) defining an axis A designating an axial direction,
- a head (3) mounted movable in rotation and in translation about and along said axis A, said head (3) being able to adopt a first axial position, called open position, where a gas flow could be performed between the inside and the outside of the watch case and a second axial position, called closed position, where the gas flow between the inside and the outside of the watch case is prevented, said head (3) being provided with a cover (3a), called first cover, and with an axial skirt (3b), called first axial skirt, delimiting a recess, called first recess, within the head (3),
- a first insert (4) mounted within said first recess of the head (3),
- wherein the head (3) is mounted on the tube (2) via the first insert (4) and wherein the head (3) is fastened to said first insert (4) by fastening means (8) comprising a screw thread and/or a glue.
