Abstract

A rocker switch for actuation from outside the bezel or case of a watertight wristwatch employs a rocker arm making contact with the bezel through its pivot pin and having a stem for contacting internal terminals. The handle of the rocker arm is imbedded in adhesive elastomer which is also adhered to the bezel to provide spring action and a water-resistant seal.
