I use my dive bezel to time stuff every day. If I want 10 minutes, i just subtract 10 from 60 and align the 50 on the minute hand. Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.

I have a bunch of watches with divers bezels and a single watch with a countdown bezel, I use the bezels to time things all the time and it doesn't matter to me whether it's a dive or countdown bezel. I use the bezel to mark a point in time, whether it's a starting point counting up or an ending point counting down makes little different to me, some times I even do it "wrong" and set a dive bezel to 40 to use it as a 20 minute countdown. Honestly I would be perfectly fine with no numbers at all, just mark every five minutes with a dot and I'll figure out the rest - I frequently use a gmt bezel to time stuff too..

Sinn 104A has a countdown bezel. Very useful in the kitchen or holding a super glued piece together. Excellent visibility, too, also like a Sinn 104A. Generally a very good looking watch. Not exactly a bargain price but far better than the Sinn, LOL. Not a clone either as the hands are different but still appropriate.

Sometimes, I'll have two things in the oven that are done at different times, and with the divers bezel, it's no problem. A countdown bezel will be more difficult as i would have to reset it when one is done or try to remember to take the first one out 10 minutes early. A countdown bezel seems to be a novelty but if I had one I'm sure I'll find a use for it. 🤔

Ah yes, the extra tactical diver. Hats off to the French military frogmen for this feature, where you can count between waypoints as you dive (check Tudor Pelagos FXD. Same bezel.) I'm guessing this is one of those multi-function watch style where it can double as a flieger to a diver. Nice.

Given that it has numbers in all 12 positions and a count down bezel, one could make the case (geddit?) that it is more of a confused or hybrid field watch, or even a Flieger with a countdown rather than a slide rule, than it is a diver. Actually I quite like it, even as a diver who does use a true dive bezel. Shame the numbers aren't lumed at that price...

I used my dive watch's bezel as a timer (sort of). First you need to do some basic math, then you move 12 o'clock indicator on the minute your time will come. I don't really like that bezel in generally one way turnable. When you resetting it and go one extra click beyond 12.. have to do full turn again.

I use my diving bezels all the time. In fact when I wear watches without bezel - I always feel it missing. But to the point. Although these guys did a good job of actually putting a countdown markers, the bezel itself did not change with it, did it? Some dive bezels just have geometry (like dashes or triangles etc) and no numbers at all so what’s the difference? You could not rotate the bezel in the same way because it has different markers? I think it’s funny:)

There are some 15% rebate codes floating around and they currently have a limited free shipping offer. I bought the 04 version and with the rebates I paid about €400 for it after VAT and duty. €400 is an OK price, and considering that the strap it ships with is literally 5€ AliExpress garbage, so it's sure as hell not worth the €600 it would have cost me without the 15% rebate and the free shipping. But for €400? Yeah, I don't regret buying it. I love the look of the 04 (not so much of the other versions).
