Bezel

The bezel is the outer ring surrounding a watch’s crystal, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. It can be fixed or rotating, with rotating bezels commonly found in diver’s watches and GMT watches for tracking elapsed time or multiple time zones. Bezels can feature different markings, such as a tachymeter for measuring speed or a slide rule for calculations. Made from materials like stainless steel, ceramic, or aluminum, the bezel contributes to both the durability and style of the watch.
