Pilzdrücker

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Armbanduhr
Alpina feiert 2013 130-jähriges Bestehen der Marke. Als Jubiläumsmodell landet der Alpina 130 Heritage Pilot Chronograph bei den Händlern. Mit Bicompax-Aufteilung und Tachymeter- sowie Telemeterskala nimmt der Chronograph klassische Gestaltungsmerkmale einer historischen Alpina wieder auf. Auch die Gehäuseform und die ***Pilzdrücker*** erinnern an Zeitmesser der 1940er und 1950er.

agree philgoddard : This appears only on a couple of blogs, and the manufacturer doesn't appear to have a name for them. But I think this sounds much nicer than "mushroom buttons".

crown

The user manual for a Junghans watch applies the term "crown" in their illustration of the functional elements.

However, the also use the term "winder" in the accompanying text. Perhaps both terms (crown, winder) are too generic here?
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : No, it's not the crown/winder, it's the buttons on either side of it, which look a bit like mushrooms.
