What is a Uni-Directional Bezel?
A uni-directional bezel is a specialized feature on dive watches, designed to track elapsed time underwater with accuracy and safety. The bezel rotates counterclockwise only, ensuring that any accidental movement shortens the indicated dive time, an essential fail-safe for divers.
How It Works
Before submerging, the diver aligns the zero marker on the bezel with the minute hand of the watch. As time progresses, the minute hand’s position relative to the bezel indicates the elapsed time. Most bezels are calibrated in minute increments for the first 15 or 20 minutes and five-minute increments thereafter, reflecting standard dive safety protocols.
Applications Beyond Diving
Although primarily a diving tool, the uni-directional bezel has broader applications. It is frequently used for timing everyday activities, such as workouts, cooking, or managing meetings. Its robust construction and intuitive functionality make it a versatile companion in various settings.
