An electronic timepiece has a base plate and a base plate bridge ring. The base plate bridge ring secures a ring-shaped antenna, contacts an outside case member, and supports the base plate. The base plate is configured to not contact the outside case member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic timepiece comprising: a base plate; an outside case member engaged with a bezel; and a base plate bridge ring that supports a ring-shaped antenna at a top surface of the base plate bridge ring, contacts the outside case member, and supports the base plate; the base plate configured to not contact the outside case member. 2. The electronic timepiece described in claim 1 , further comprising: a solar panel; the base plate functioning to guide the solar panel. 3. The electronic timepiece described in claim 1 , further comprising: a dial; the base plate having a dial guide post that is disposed on an outer diameter of the dial and guides the dial. 4. The electronic timepiece described in claim 3 , wherein: the dial has a recess in which the dial guide post fits in an area overlapping the dial guide post of the base plate in plan view. 5. The electronic timepiece described in claim 3 , wherein: a marker is disposed to the dial in an area overlapping the dial guide post of the base plate in plan view. 6. The electronic timepiece described in claim 2 , wherein the base plate includes a guide post that is disposed on an outer diameter of the solar panel and guides the solar panel. 7. The electronic timepiece described in claim 1 , wherein the base plate bridge ring includes a protrusion that engages an outside circumference of the base plate to support the base plate. 8. The electronic timepiece described in claim 1 , wherein the outside case member includes a radially inwardly protruding member that engages a top surface of the base plate bridge ring to secure the base plate bridge ring.
