Abstract
A push button device including a device for adjusting the angular orientation of the push button head with respect to the watch case, wherein the angular orientation adjustment device includes a friction ring disposed concentrically around the central shaft inside the tube, the friction ring rotates integrally with the central shaft and is free in translation with respect to the central shaft, the friction ring includes an external friction surface in friction contact with an internal wall of the tube, and wherein the central shaft includes a device for actuating the latter in rotation, making it possible to pivot the push button against the frictional forces generated by the friction ring, in order to adjust the angular orientation of the push button head.
