The sophisticated diver watches have been a significant part of Rolex’s collection since the 1950s. Rolex indeed devised these watches meticulously to travel far beneath the surface of the ocean, combating incredible depths. Additionally, each diver’s watch of Rolex sports a highly apparent luminous dial along with an adjustable bezel. The bezel significantly helps in measuring the time under the water. How? Today, let’s find out the significant aspects and how you can use the bezel on two popular Rolex diver watches – the Submariner and the Sea-Dweller. How to Use the Bezel on the Rolex Submariner Introduced in the 1950s, the Rolex Submariner originally flaunted a bi-directional bezel. The aluminium bezel inserts flaunted an exclusive arrow marker at 12 o’clock and 60-minute graduations. However, the Rolex Submariner received many significant updates between the late 1970s and early 1980s. Rolex added a sapphire crystal, a unidirectional bezel to the Submariner, increasing its water resistance up to 1,000ft. The manufacturer also upgraded the bezel to ceramic Cerachrom inserts in the later models. So, how you can use the unidirectional bezel on the Submariner? You need to rotate the zero-marker towards the left while stopping at the minute-hand. However, you should do this before you descend into the water. The diving time would be tracked on the watch’s bezel through the minute-hand. How to Use the Bezel on the Sea-Dweller? Another noteworthy model in Rolex’s diver watch collection is the Sea-Dweller. The functions of the Sea-Dweller are almost similar to the Rolex’s legendary diver watch - the Submariner. However, the Rolex Sea-Dweller model stands apart from the Submariner with an enhanced water-resistance up to 4,000ft. The helium escape valve, fitted at the 10 o’clock position enables the movement in decompressing properly. This prevented the crystal from popping off at incredible depths. Like in the Rolex Submariner, Rolex fitted the Sea-Dweller originally with a bidirectional bezel. However, the manufacturer later replaced the bidirectional bezel with a unidirectional bezel and debuted in the Sea-Dweller reference 16600. The unidirectional bezel functions similar to the Submariner bezel, measuring decompression stops as well as other times of diving. More significantly, the user can turn the bezel counterclockwise to measure the diving time, synchronizing with the dial’s minute hand. With the introduction of the Rolex Submariner and the Sea-Dweller, Rolex indeed set a standard in the industry for function, quality, precision and style of diver’s watches.
