Q

Why does Submariner use a unidirectional bezel?

A

As everyone knows submarinerIs tool watchIt is classified as a type of diver's watch. Diver watches are made for divers who are active in the water, and most of them meet three important characteristics:

Firstly, its main features are waterproofing, secondly, luminescent performance that allows the index to be read even in deep water, and thirdly, the unidirectional bezel allows you to check how much time has passed underwater.

The reason diver watches use unidirectional bezels is because if the bezel rotates in both directions, accurate dive times cannot be measured, which is very dangerous for divers. For reference, the index on the Submariner bezel is used to check the time required for diving.
