In this guide, we explore different types of watch bezels and their functions, including rotating bezels used in dive and pilot watches, fixed bezels for dress watches, and ceramic bezels known for durability and scratch resistance. We'll discuss how each bezel type adds functionality, such as timing events, measuring elapsed minutes, or simply enhancing the look of your watch.
We'll compare materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and ceramic, and explain the benefits of unidirectional versus bidirectional bezels. We'll also highlight watch models from brands such as Pagani Design and Benyar that feature rotating or fixed bezels, and how these features benefit divers, pilots, and everyday wearers.
