RIDER-TAB BEZEL
t he bezel of your watch is fitted with 4 hour-markers
called rider-tabs: 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 chrono-
graph functions, they also serve as "minute chrono -
graph" enabling one to measure time elapsed in
minutes.
r ider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving
a better grip (especially when wearing gloves) and
additionally protect the glass.
