What is the name of this part of a wristwatch?

Wristwatches are full of poop and jargon. Among them, luxury watches are not only for the classic purpose of keeping track of time, but also for the need to own them as a status and asset. That is why it is important to have a certain amount of knowledge about watches as a topic of conversation. In this issue, we focus on the basic details of wristwatches, which you may not know at this point! Do you know the name of the bezel, which is a major part of a watch’s design?

This name for a watch, the answer is ” bezel “!

The bezel is a ring-shaped part attached around the windshield that protects the dial and movement. Originally developed to hold the windshield in place, the bezel is now used in a wide variety of designs, including watches with scales and time indications and watches decorated with diamonds and other glittering ornaments, as watches become increasingly multifunctional. The bezel is one of the major points that determine the “face” of a watch, so it is important to keep it in mind.

The name of the bezel also varies depending on the design, with the most famous being “unidirectional rotating bezel,” “tachymeter bezel,” “GMT bezel,” and so on. There is a wide range of materials used, but in recent years, ceramic bezels have become mainstream in the watch industry for their robustness and luxury. In some vintage luxury watches, on the contrary, the prices of models with bezels made of cheap plastic material have skyrocketed. As mentioned above, there are many points to look out for even in a single bezel, and we recommend that those who want to know more about watches should visit a reliable watch store to see the difference in real watches.
