How to change crown on diver?

Hi all,

I wish to replace the crown on a diver. The model is a 980.006 - the oversized version. I guess the crown set up is the same on all oversized models. (and maybe all size models?)

How do I get the crown off the stem, does it unscrew? Clockwise or anticlockwise? Pressure fitted? etc

I really don't want to snap anything!
