SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS

UNIDIRECTIONAL BEZEL WITH INDEX-MARKERS
the bezel of your watch is marked with 4 index-
markers: they are used as points of reference to mark
the time of departure or a limit time one wishes to
remember. On models with no chronograph func-
tions, they also serve as "minute chronograph"
enabling one to measure time elapsed in minutes.
For safety, the bezel can only turn counterclockwise.
rider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving
a better grip (especially when wearing gloves) and
additionally protect the glass.
