Abstract
A wrist watch comprising a watch case containing a timing movement and a watchband defining a longitudinal axis. Securing means is provided to secure the watch case to the watchband so that the watch case may be selectively displaced along a predetermined distance of the longitudinal axis. In one embodiment, securing means includes a protective covering material attached to the watchband and forming a tubular structure. The tubular structure defines a cavity in which a watch case may reside and slide with respect to the watchband. The covering may include one or more openings to selectively expose the watch face from the protective covering.
