I don't think it has an official name but they're referred to as a "watch pillow" or a "watch cushion".

Thank you both! I was asking because I need a spare one.

Speaking of which… any pious soul who has a spare one he is thinking of parting with?

Thank you.

If you mean the hard plastic or metal piece that's open in the middle, I think that it's called a "cuff".



But that's probably an informal name. I'm sure there is a more horologically correct French name for it.
