Many don’t know what is a dive watch? How to use a Diver’s watch? What is a dive bezel? How to use a diver’s bezel? Here in this video I will be explaining all of it! How to use the diving bezel, how to read a bezel, and what makes a bezel ring on dive watches.
How to properly use the diver bezel on any dive watch?
As you notice it doesn't matter the brand whether it is Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Cartier, Ulysse Nardin, or a Bulgari, all dive watches have the same 60 minute unidirectional timing bezel. Unidirectional meaning you can only rotate the bezel one way, counter clockwise.
Today at Gray and Sons Jewelers we pulled out a selection of preowned luxury dive watches from our luxury showroom in Miami beach, near Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood , and West Palm Beach.

The diver bezel is quite simple to use.
Here are the step by step instruction on how to use any divers watch:
1.Before a diver’s descent the diver will rotate the bezel until the triangle aligns with the current position of the minute hand.
2. As time passes, you can look at the minute hand compared to the bezel to see how many minutes have elapsed since you started your dive.
Now you have learned and know how to use and set your bezel on any dive watch!
If you would like to see these dive watches on your wrist, come and visit us at our Luxury Showroom in Miami Florida, right across the world class Bal Harbour Shops!
The number 1 rule with these luxury diving watches is to screw down your crown. The most common reason these dive watches come into gray and sons repair shop needing emergency
service is water entrance through the crown. That was not screwed into the watch case properly. Did your Rolex, Omega, Ulysse Nardin, or any luxury watch get water inside?
Act Fast and send it in to our watch repair store near Coral Gables, Brickell Ave, Key Biscayne, Chicago, Huston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami and anywhere in the United States. We Can help you restore your swiss watch in no time!
Click here to send in your watch for repair: www.grayandson...
Another important safety feature on the bezel is the 0 to 15 minute calibration used to time your ascent properly, and take into account slow decompression while surfacing.
The bezel allows you to time in minutes your various “stops” on the way up to prevent decompression sickness known as The Bends.
Rolex like most dive watches has a 15 one minute calibration
Some luxury watches like Cartier has the one minute calibration to the 20 minute marker. The Omega bezel has minute markers completely around the bezel 0 to 60 minutes.

Finally, the most helpful video out there to someone with no knowledge.

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

Glad to hear it!

[@JHunt6352]

Non-divers can use rotating bezel for: -countdown -countup -second time zone -compass

[@snoopywl8880]

Wait how does it work as a compass

[@adrianmanu2070]

You need a GMT watch for time zone

[@moonstryder1740]

@@adrianmanu2070 or just know the time zone difference.

[@peeweemister]

@@adrianmanu2070 nah you can definitely use this as a time zone. Just set the triangle hours ahead or behind. Depending on the time zone you want to keep track of.

[@mogroot5790]

But how?

[@crBudgetWatches]

Pretty handy to time 10 min when I boil eggs

[@Wannabearborist]

Imagine buying a Rolex just to time 10 min for eggs once in a while😂😂😂 that’s an expensive timer

[@derrick_smitty]

Thank you for this short and clear video I've seen other videos that take the long way around to explain something very simple

[@carlosdasilva7326]

Very well explained how the bezel works on a dive watch. Thanks.

[@bubbajones7486]

Thank You so much. I had no idea. It's actually quite easy the way you explained it.

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

You're welcome!

[@szabib2144]

Best video I’ve seen how to understand this. Thank you

[@_LiveNoLimits]

Very solid explanation!

[@federicomorikawa837]

Amazing Video. Very well explained. not much of a diver here but I definitely enjoy some Sunday grilling so ill put my Submariner to good use. Awesome time lapse at the end!

[@antic4you]

Great explanation. Thank you Gray and Sons for explaining it so clearly.

[@leosiddy]

Thank you for the clear and easy way of explanation

[@SAKURA-us9ec]

Very simple and awesome video. Thank you

[@disobeymonday]

Thank you!

[@divindave6117]

Very informative and easy to understand video. Nice job on that. Im not a diver, so I use my dive watch for the same reasons he stated. Timing how long the ribs, steaks, chickens, and sausages have been on the grill ! And a few other things.

[@zamiryusof8239]

Thanks for the explanation! I knew the bezels are there for a purpose but I didn't really know how to use it.

[@polichem2002]

I like your video. Short and straightforward. Now I know how to use the damn bezel. Thanks.

[@margaretbus6295]

Simple explanation. Good to see lots of other dive watches than just the most famous submariner. ;) nice to watch

[@piratapan]

Thanks, good explanation,

[@Vibing]

That’s so awesome. Love it.

[@josephdiaz1705]

very well explained if you have one of these watches and are unsure of how the diver’s bezel works!

[@vassilikipapastavros9501]

never knew that about these watches. love it

[@donovanandersen5223]

I finally know how to use my watch... thanks for the great vid! super helpful

[@c45magnum39]

Finally I know how to work it. Lol

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

No worries glad we could help, now you can make the rotating bezel noise around friends and family

[@Boo8087]

And @3.30 you can watch him try to turn the bezel clockwise, it’s alright, happens to the best of us

[@JuanRamirez-hr8vj]

This was very helpful thank you so much

[@BootieChugger]

Very great vid👍

[@miguelguerra1722]

i loved your video you seem like a nice people thanks i didnt know how to use it, the thing is that i have a Nivada but its on 24 hours not like the regular 0-60 it starts on 13 til 24 why is different?

[@silajeep1]

This is great explanation, thank you mate 😁

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

Glad it helped

[@aboutcars5737]

Thank you.

[@hbbaxter9199]

That backwards running watches at 0:38 freaked me out.

[@andrewkopecky2678]

Seems like after one full rotation the bezel becomes harder to dial. I have an Invicta divers watch.

[@gasfrommyanusi0i594]

i had no clue, nice video

[@donaldduck6414]

Awesome informative video thank you for sharing

[@caronfernandes4625]

Can we use the chronograph to measure the same

[@jackiemarch8761]

loooove this! great narrative! make more videos asap! 😃

[@JBJuanerio]

thank you so much

[@nataliakudelina4597]

Thank you so much! Amazing video👍👍👍

[@macadelic2492]

So it’s basically like a timer. Like a chronograph but easier to see

[@lapachi_428]

Watches are so interesting how can you not be amazed by them?

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

we think the same every day

[@sanandreas7063]

0:40 I see what you did there 😄

[@KenaJRyan]

Awesome Video! Very informative. 👍🏼

[@yayyay7076]

Cool thank you. Then just wind it to the 12p when you are not using. The feature 😊

[@jmunyard]

Nice, cheers mate.

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

Any time!

[@agnieszkagancarczyk5897]

I always wondered why the minute calibrations were there on bezels for the first 15-20 minutes.... now I know..thx

[@jclcrow2621]

Thanks much

[@promaja2]

2:25 is what we actually need

[@midnitematador6249]

Thanks boss! Useful info!

[@nuhuhassan4090]

Thanks! Very useful! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Wannabearborist]

3:52 why is this shot reverse, now it looks funky because the seconds are going backwards

[@zillsburyy1]

wow all of them are high class!

[@viktoriapeshkur8835]

Very interesting video with a lot of new things to learn! I definitely want to go down diving and test my Rolex Submariner under the water and count the minutes. I have never done it before. Thank you Gray and Sons for a new video.

[@chasam1234]

Don't rely on that

[@richfinlinson]

Ain’t no watch like a dive watch! 👍🏼

[@danielburke9881]

Good video dude. Thanks

[@axelverite982]

Swiss watches, the finest there is. Great video

[@josephhorvathii8568]

Great Video!

[@UteGirlz]

For a while I thought the bezel auto rotates and you could set a timer for up to 60 minutes. And when the triangle gets to the 12 O'clock position an alarm goes off.

[@mathurinalexis5223]

Do you gots have the SBGA469?

[@ChaplainAcosta]

Thanks. 👍🏼 Simple once one knows. 🤓

[@NickSiekierski]

Thanks for the vide, just got my first dive watch. You probably fixed it by now but "specialist" is misspelled in the ending slide, and it should probably be "specialists" plural.

[@olflip8801]

Thank you for this video. Clear explanation, and I appreciate it a lot! Have you heard about Victorinox's limited edition diving watch? It comes with a "swiss knife" as well.

[@c619cuesta]

Nice

[@antonelladiaz5255]

Great video! 10/10

[@infidel66687]

Now I can time frozen pizza 🍕

[@juliussparrvik3758]

can these bezels also be used for another time zone? i assume so right

[@halomediaweb]

What are the usage for watches that have 120-clicks mono-directional security bezel?

[@ginotarabotto]

Thx man! I was trying too learn how to adjust the bezel in my watch.

[@JimGray65]

Nice video thanks! I am in LA so I cannot come an visit :(

[@carlosfever2]

Beautiful watches! My pick to avoid drowning in a glass of water would be the Fifty Fathoms.

[@richfinlinson]

Carlos Fever 😂

[@alexsorov1958]

Great watch collection and great explanation thank you 👍

[@bigjuan2001]

Im such an idiot. lol, this video was great thank you!

[@thesiciliandefense]

Most people are desk divers.

[@bahtiyorjonyakubjonov7804]

Where is the sound of Rolex bezel?

[@_Nposter_]

Nice watches

[@tested123]

why not just look at the time? also theres no alarm so wtf? for 10 grand?

[@HandlewithcareVibes]

Cool

[@vitart-info]

Still bazel makes no sense to me. If I need to mark 20 min I will just add to the current time... i can count hours and minutes in my mind and I don't get why one need a bazel 😢

[@swiss_prince4056]

On my hand the Casio something that looks like a rolex

[@jesusmgw]

Sure I'll go running with a Rolex Submariner to track it. It will certainly make it more thrilling.

[@AlphaFlight]

I'm wearing FNGEEN

[@weareallenemyofthestate9883]

My Watch is to cheap… I have a fixed bezel 😂

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

the super clones! haha or a replica ;)

[@soryn1989]

i will use it for barbecue! i dont dive and dont run :))

[@Shankzzzz]

I coul Just read the watch tho...

[@rafikbedrani5997]

i time my limited breaks at work

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

What a coincidence, same here

[@MrASM78]

I don’t understand why you need the bezel to time things when you have the watch itself.

[@bag3lmonst3r72]

Because we're human and we forget. There are a lot of variables when you go in the water. You can't afford to get distracted or forget when you go in, otherwise you can die. The bezel helps to make sure that doesn't happen.

[@johnnylinfield3809]

Who’s gonna take that under water seriously when’s the last time you seen someone where a Rolex diving

[@MrBCA701]

Video needs close ups and should have pointed to the various parts of the markings on the bezel. Didnt make any sense imo

[@chasam1234]

I doubt anyone uses this unless a diver even then i doubt they use have better warning systems than fiddling with a bezel also need clear water so limited vis makes them useless for monitoring time and potentially fatal...

[@Akilan21]

Divers use computers now , ya diving watches are old tech lol

[@urj210478]

I don't know of anyone who has dived with an $8000++ Rolex watch. Especially at deep sea.

[@makaylaturner2987]

It really bothers me that your Rolex does not sit on your wrist properly.

[@christianwilliams6982]

Use as a guide only. It’s not for anything else and cannot prevent bends as said in the video

[@johnl6803]

Use mine to time my food 😬

[@rexjolles]

i'll use my fake 80's rolex lmao

[@sirlonewolf816]

I'll stick with my Citizen Fugu , all the Watches at 3:52 are running backwards!!

[@cherrypepsi2815]

It's a reversed clip. Originally the camera pan was shot going the opposite direction, but since the clip was reversed, it looks like they're going backwards. You're just an idiot. No offense.

[@alexpaterson1382]

A real diver would leave his submariner at home and wear their ocean crawler.

[@mahendrap3556]

can't understand your accent coupled with low voice dude

[@BartMan59]

Holy shit! WHYYY no mentions of the Zodiac Sea Wolf. A horological icon of DIVE watches, along with the other 2 - you probably don't even know. You didn't even give it an honorable mentions. Thumbs down... 🤨

[@GrayAndSonsFL]

this is a video for established watches, atleast more than 100 years... video is also older than your comment
