A switch mechanism for an electronic timepiece which makes use of an electro-optical display element. The switch mechanism serves to effect erasure, correction and the like of the display and comprises an exteriorly operated member provided in its axial direction with a plurality of stable positions and rotatable about its axis at the stable positions and provided in its rotating sense with stable positions. An erasing switch is provided for erasing the display at the stable positions when the exteriorly operated member is rotated at one of the stable positions in its axial direction. A correction switch corrects the display at the stable position when said exteriorly operated member is rotated at at least one other stable position in its axial direction.
A switch mechanism for an electronic timepiece comprising an electric optical display, an exteriorly operated member having a square pillar portion and provided in its axial direction with a plurality of stable positions and rotatable about its axis at at least one of said stables positions of axial direction and provided in its rotating direction with stable positions of rotational direction, an earasing switch for erasing the display at the stable positions of rotational direction of said exteriorly operated member, a correction switch for correcting the display at a stable position of axial direction, and a change over switch for changing over the display when said exteriorly operated member is moved from one of said stable positions of axial direction to another stable position of axial direction and vice versa.
