So… a gmt has 4 hands the seconds minutes and hours, and the gmt, those 4 hands and the bezel tell 3 time zones - usually the watch is set to your location, with the regular hours and minutes reading the normal time. The gmt hand can’t then be set as and read as the hours hand in a second location. So if it’s 11:30am in California you’d set the watch to 11:30am, but you’re a stock trader maybe you set the gmt hand 3 hours ahead to New York so you it would read between 2 and 3 with the second and hours reading normally only change is which hand you’re reading for the hours (the hour hand for local or gmt hand for second time zone) and finally maybe you are invested in the Asian markets so knowing the time in China would be helpful, you can twist the bezel accordingly in this case 15 spots ahead for the 15 hour difference between Shanghai and L.A. so that if you read the watch forgetting the time on the face but read it according to the bezel the hands will tell you the time in wherever the bezel is set
No my friend, the submariner doesn’t tell you how much “oxygen” you have in your tank, that’s a separate instrument called the air gauge. A dive watch tells you how much time you have been diving so that you don’t exceed your “No Decompression Limit” and get “Decompression Sickness” AKA the bends. Also divers don’t dive with “oxygen” we dove with “normal air” just like the air on the surface of earth!
Nah mate, talking from experiece, anyone that used this kinda watch before the spread of diving computers needed and did exceed their no deco time. The “timer” is used mainly to calculate Liters per minute and deco time. You needed those plastic tables tho, since most likely you would’t stay at the same depth the entire dive. But yeah i get what you sayin, this watch most definetely wont tell you the oxigen you have left lmao
He didn't say that it measures the oxygen though, did he? He said that you can keep track and that you can since it's proportional to the time spent under water.
The submariner was never used to determine how much oxygen you have left in your tank, it serves as a time keeper only, oxygen use changes based on many factors
@@k.g.8290they're just being whiny pedantic little betas, liking for something to complain about. It does indirectly tell you how much oxygen you have left, but it mainly tells you how long you've been under water for decompression calculations. If you're a diver, you know a thank lady's you x amount of time. So you can look and see how long you've been under water, and you can approximate how much longer you have.
As I’m sure has been mentioned many times below, the bezel on a dive watch is used to measure time at a specific depth. Its use is for preventing decompression sickness not measuring levels of air (also not oxygen). If a diver used it to measure how much air they had left, they would quickly become part of an oceanic food chain. Also, the prevalence of modern dive computers, which can do both bottom time and air levels, means few divers actually use the function on a dive watch.
@@MtnPeakEnduro very true but the use for a watch is less needed with iPhones. I usually always wear my watches every day because of the date function and it is sometimes helpful not to pull out my phone for the time. But when most people buy a watch it’s for the fun of it now.
Divers watch uses the bezel to track things like how many minutes the descent or the ascent takes. Or even just how many minutes youve been underwater. Basically it’s a rudimentary stopwatch. The moment u go underwater, you adjust the zero mark of the bezel to where the minute hand is at. That way you can track how many minutes it takes for you to do your thing, without having to fiddle with the minutes hand.
The submersible pressure guage didn't come out until several years after the modern dive watch so yes, the dive bezel was made with the purpose of measuring how much air you have left by measuring dive time.
@@justinbuska3499 the main purpose of the bezel in a diver’s watch is to measure the time spent at the bottom of the planned depth in your dive, commonly referred as the “bottom time” so you can then calculate the decompression time after diving
@@torqueofthedevil8145 Obviously but when the submariner was released, there wasn't any technology that could tell you how much air you consumed so the only thing you had to measure it was time. This isn't hard to grasp...
He’s incorrect about the timing bezel for the submariner. It’s not used to measure oxygen levels but depth time and (decompression) times should the diver have prolonged the bottom time stay.
Divers do not breath oxygen, they breath air. Pressure guages measure remaining air. The time elapse bezel measures time spent underwater. Otherwise a good explanation of GMT functions.
Diver bezel, it is used to time how long you are underwater NOT hoe much oxygen yoy have left. You put the triangle on the minute hand and as time goes by you can see the bezel on how many minutes have elapsed since you time it. The funtion is for elapsed time not oxygen.
@@meed9k not really, since inception all scuba gear has been equipped with an air pressure gauge, which is far more accurate than guessing with the time. the bezel function is used to track time at a specific depth as this impacts things like accent rate, bends and nitrogen narcosis.
Anyone that uses oxygen as a term when referring to gas used in diving has little to no knowledge about diving. Pure Oxygen is toxic below 6m. Air (20.9%OXY)is used in 95% of diving applications so, it's an air cylinder and how much air. Not oxygen. If you know you know.
@@meed9knot really. Air consumption varies wildly based on depth. The purpose of setting the timer is so you can keep track of how long you've been underwater so you can ascend before you hit your no-decompression limit (which is based on diving tables consulted during pre-dive planning). However everyone uses computers now which automatically track your depth/bottom time and give you a real time no-decompression limit.
But what if im used to non-2400 time - Am/pm time? New bezel? Couldnt i also get a bezel for the divers watch that I can set by turning the bezel? If my life solely depended on mins left in my O2 tank, couldnt i just get a smarter waterproof watch that beeped in an earpeice min by min with voice? Or do I have to spend that much?
From a diver.. the bezel doent twll you how much oxygen you have left.. it tells you how much time you have spent under water.. no watch unless its connected to the oxygen tank can tell you how much oxygen is left in the tank as your consumption changes with how deep you are and how long you stay at vatious depths..
I am a diving instructor and I can guarantee that no one dives with mechanical watches of any brand anymore, especially if it costs 10,000 euros like a Rolex submariner. it is more likely to use the bezel to count the minutes of pasta cooking than under water. The explanation about what the submariner bezel is for is completely wrong and many of the people who want to correct it have also written wrong things
Regardless of the submarine as to what is being used for?. Can u see the watch hands deep in the water?. Say the light breaks How would you know how much time u have left?
The bezel on the submariner (or any dive watch) is NOT to tell the diver how much "oxygen" they have left. Divers use what's called Submersible Pressure Gauge (SPG) to tell how much AIR (which is 21% oxygen and 89% nitrogen) still left in their AIR tanks. We don't use pure oxygen to dive because we will soon get oxygen poisoning.
The submersible pressure gauge was not invented until almost two decades after the the first modern dive watch was made so yes, the bezel was made with the intention of measuring how much air you had.
You're both confusing Submersible Pressure Gauges and Depth Gauges. They are and do different things. An SPG gives you a constant reading of what pressure your tank is. IE 220 Bar, when full and when the gauge shows 110 bar you've used half your tank of gas. A DEPTH gauge is used in conjunction with dive tables and elapsed time to calculate your Nitrogen loading.
@@johnyossarian9059 Apologies John, don't know why I used the word 'both' but my comment was directed to the confusion withing many of the comments. Depth pressure and Tank pressure being two different pressures that are measured. Any, who buys a Rolex anyway ;) Go well.

Did he really move the minute hand backwards when the hour hand was on the 12? Sure, it might have been 12 noon, but it might not have been either. Granted, newer watches can probably withstand you turning against the date function, but why try your luck?
