screw-in case back
Explanation:
This is what Omega call it:

"Its distinctive Olympic look is underscored by the rhodium-plated Olympic Rings as the counterweight of the chronograph seconds hand. Its divers’ watch status is underscored by the robust case, the unidirectional rotating stainless-steel bezel, patented OMEGA helium escape valve and water resistance to 300 meters / 1000 feet guaranteed by a screw-in crown with O-ring gasket and decompression ring, screw-in pushers and a screw-in case back."
