@@jayrdee8929It was bezels so does not really matter how much the watch’s cost. It will make a difference if he does GMT’s or Chronograph’s though 😈🤑😈🤑😈🤑
Dive bezels are so useful. I use them all the time to measure daily tasks or set reminders. They are actually far more legible and intuitive for me than a chrono or digital watch. They are my favorite watch for running by far.
I’m not a diver but have been diving once before in Barbados and wore my Seamaster 300m for that, I used the bezel as intended and timed my dive. Glancing over to the watch, deep underwater is another experience altogether. The dimensions of the dial change when you are underwater, it’s something that has to be experienced with any dive watch, let alone a Seamaster (which was great!)
A bit of an unusual use, but I use it as a GMT when traveling. I just rotate the bezel to match the destination time zone. I read the Hour hand on the bezel and the minutes normally. For example: Watch is set for 2:30 pm local time Destination time is 12:30 Rotate the bezel so that the triangle is at 2pm. When reading the hour hand on the bezel, the 2pm position is now 12. Minutes remain the same. Now on the bezel: triangle=12, 10=2, 20=4, 30=6, 40=8, 50=11. Sounds a bit complicated, but it’s super easy once you’re used to it and opens up a whole new complication for us people with just one watch lol
I used to use the bezel to time classes when I worked in a school by dropping the pip 50 minutes ahead every period. I’ll frequently time duration of an event by putting the pip on the hour hand, then counting the hours when I’m done. Conversely, when I’m doing an activity like fishing, and I need to be done at a specific time, I’ll drop the pip on the hour I need to stop. I’ll also use it for cooking, sunrise/sunset when I’m hunting, or any number of events
That's not how you use the dive bezel. To do so correctly you set the minute hand to expected "dive time" (which depends on depth) - 60. For example, if your dive was planned to be 45 minutes, you set the minute hand to the 15 minute mark, as your 45 minute dive elapses, the minute hand eventually reaches the pip, signifying you have reached your dive time, after which you begin your ascent and begin your safety and/or decompression stops. These stops are critical and require knowing the actual minute by minute, which is why the first 15 minutes after the pip are graduated in minute intervals. Hope that helps clear that up a little bit
I’m an avid hiker, and I use the bezel on my Marathon GSAR to time various tasks on my hikes (rest intervals, hydration stops -because I forget to eat/drink when I’m out, and water purification). For work, I use it to time materials/applications like epoxies/resins/etc.
The 15 and 45 rider tabs on some Breitling Chronomat watches can be reversed, so they can be used as a count-up or a count-down bezel just by swapping the 2 tabs over. A really interesting feature, even if it's not a pure dive watch!
Adrian! I am a Flight Attendant that works mostly short haul flights of 60 minutes or less. I use my dive bezel to show me at a glance how much time I have left to complete my service delivery with the passengers.
That Shearwater Perdix. It's such an awesome dive computer. Most divers that use a dive watch, use it as a backup for the dive computer. A dive computer can and will fail eventually. Redundancy is key, especially when doing technical dives. I personally use a second dive computer as backup, but that's because that way my backup has the same dive history as my main dive computer, and if one fails I can still continue diving. The dive watch is just because it's cool (or a backup to the backup if there's such a thing). And while, yes, oxygen is the gas that keeps you alive, divers don't breathe pure oxygen. It's a minor component of the gas mix that you're breathing. While some divers will dive with cylinders with high oxygen content (50% to 100%), these mixes are only used in the decompression stages. Oxygen enriched mixes (22% to 40%) are used on shallower dives to extend the no-decompression limits, and with that the time underwater. Hypoxic mixes are used for deep diving, usually with added helium to decrease the narcotic effects of nitrogen and oxygen at depth, and to decrease the gas density to reduce work of breathing. CCR divers don't really need a dive watch either, especially with a long interval. They generally speaking have an integrated dive computer and a non-integrated backup, and when any sensor tells them there's something wrong, they switch to their bailout system and end the dive, so 60 minute gradations are plenty sufficient. The biggest threats aren't staying down to long, but low or high oxygen content due to faulty sensors or high carbon-dioxide levels due to a scrubber failure. A CCR generally has 3 oxygen sensors. If one of them shows a wrong reading, you can no longer rely on the CCR to keep you alive, because you don't know which sensors are displaying faulty information. Hyperoxia can cause convulsions which leads to drowning and hypoxia can starve your brain from oxygen. Hypercapnia can cause drowsiness and impaired judgment. All three can cause brain damage.
I've a couple of dive watches & I do use them to dive with. Apart from one which is my Longines legend diver I find it to nice to dive with Be nice to get a review & get your view on it.
I dive with both a diving computer and a traditional dive watch. If the computer fails I know I have the dive watch to tell me whats going on. Computers are good because the run many calculations and allow you to optimize your dive. However, the traditional diving watch, because it cant do calculations, always gives you a conservative duration of your dive. So as a safety plan, its perfect. And come one, its very cooL!
I work as a firefighter/EMT. I use my bezel to time various events, such as smoke diving. ISO 6425 watches make a lot of sense as they are not only tested against water pressure, but also against sudden temperature changes. A good dive bezel is easy to operate even with thick gloves on, and lume makes a lot of sense when working in low light conditions.
For me, a dive watch measures time of travel, coffee brewing, washer and dryer, boiling an egg, between 2nd and 3rd period of a hockey game. Everything except diving.
I dive and almost no one dives with a watch anymore. I do, just for the fun of it, but whenever I’m on a dive boat I look around to see what people are wearing and I pretty much get zero, zip, nada with regard to wristwatches.
I’ve been diving with rebreathers for over 20 years and was really intrigued with the Blancpain 3hr bezel, a good nod to CCR tech diving (I am one of the rebreather divers in the image you used 😊)
@@K.J.H_ hi, yes. Blancpain made this model for one of their sponsored divers Laurent Ballesta for a project called Gombessa and his CCR of choice is the AP Diving Inspiration (a company I worked for for 19 years) 3hours is significant as the CCR uses a chemical to absorb the divers C02 (The Scrubber)from their exhaled breathe which has an accepted safe working time of 3 hours if no Scrubber Monitor is used , this is usually the most limiting time factor for CCR diving. If you want to get extra geeky they also use a fixed partial pressure of 02 of 1.3 which has a single exposure time of 3 hours, although this set point can be changed by the diver.
@@K.J.H_ Hi, yes. Blancpain sponsor an amazing diver called Laurent Ballesta who heads a project called Gombessa (look it up it's amazing) they are doing some long duration rebreather (CCR) dives and his unit of choice is the AP Diving Inspiration (a company I worked for for 19 years) a CCR recycles the divers breathe over and over and uses a chemical (scrubber) to absorbe the C02 exhaled, typically a scrubber without monitoring will be effective for 3 hours and this effective scrubber time tends to be the most limiting time factor for CCR divers. For extra geek points this CCR runs on a high PP02 setpoint of 1.3 which has a single exposure time of 180 minutes, although this can be adjusted by the diver.
@@K.J.H_ hi, yes. Blancpain sponsor an amazing diver called Laurent Ballesta who heads The Gombessa Expeditions, his rebreather of choice is an AP Diving Inspiration (who I worked for for many years) The biggest time restraint for rebreather diving is how long it is safely removing the C02 from your exhaled breath, they use a chemical filter to do this called a scrubber, with no monitoring device the scrubber safely absorbes C02 for 180 minutes. For extra geek points these rebreathers usually run a high setpoint of 1.3 PP02 which has a single exposure time of 180 minutes too.
Most divers will not run out of ‘oxygen’, but out of ‘air’. Most scuba tanks contain regulair air, although very dry to prevent corrosion on the inside of the tank.
I never really use my dive bezel, but I like dive watches because they are robust enough to stand up to the normal hard knocks on doors, desks, car windows, seatbelts, etc. and they look cool in the pool
Most of that was pretty accurate. However, the timing bezel has nothing to do with air supply. All divers have pressure gauges to show how much air they have leveled the dive bezel allows divers to limit time at specific depths. This helps divers prevent decompression sickness, aka “the bends”. If divers stay too long at depth, they get too much nitrogen dissolved in their body tissues and blood. Then, if they ascend too fast, not allowing the nitrogen to escape through their lungs as they breath, the nitrogen would return to a gaseous state in the blood or body tissues. Foaming blood or body tissues can cause death. Knowing how long they can stay at any given depth is essential for safety.
My parking garage has 7 levels. I mark the one I've parked on with the bezel. I am also a duck hunter. Legal shooting time is 30 minutes before sunrise so I set the pip there so when the minute hand hits the pip I know it is OK to shoot. It is still quite dark so the lume is key.
I use my "dive watches" for exactly what you said. Quick glance at the time while under. My dive computer doesnt show the time on the screen i normally use. Altho i do use the bezel to time the dive in the .1% chance my computer dies on me...but then i have a dive buddy sooo lol.
Hi Adrian! First of all we all appreciate your great videos and your time that you take to make them. Quick question: Which strap is the one that you use with the Seamaster?
I have the same exact Omega Seamaster, with the bracelet, nato strap and the rubber strap. Pretty cool to see it in your video and the idea that the loop still would exist had a spring bar failed was pretty cool to learn. Never even gave that a thought, thanks. Nice video.
For me cooking, takeout, presentation... the usual stuff, plus parenting: - video: I set when the kids' one video is supposed to end, I can check up on them so they don't start another; - naps for the kids: how long they've been napping, how long should I stay with them; - potty training: it is a good practice to have them sit on the potty every hour to build a habit, so I track the time of the last attempt...
Thanks Adrian. Very informative video. I have never heard/noticed of countdown dive bezels. After your video, I Google Imaged the Tudor Pelagos FXD. It looks weird to me now. Lol
i use it to check how long it passed since my order, other than that it's mostly just a fidget toy xD i did use it for medical procedure such as timing how long to wait and such, but mostly just a fidget toy lol.
I often start timing just about everything with my watch, then forget that I was doing so. I then can look at the dial and it helps me remember what I was doing? Ah, I thought about timing a walk, then forgot. :-)
I use mine to time how long I leave food on the grill. There is something about cooking over an open flame and timing it with a mechanical watch that feels very "back to basics".
I use my Tudor diver (BB Burgundy mk3) as a potato chip diver. I dive deep into those potato chip bags… 🥔 For the mates across the pond that’s “chips” I believe you call them. 😉
Most useful complications: 1. Dive Bezel 2. True GMT 3. Annual calendar (the only reason to have a date). Most pointless: 3. Chronographs 2. Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow Date Windows 1. Compass Bezels 🏆 😂
Unlikely you're using you bezel to time how much air you have, look at your gauge not your watch. It's to measure duration at depth, so you don't come up thinking you don't have to decompress.
I am a paramedic and I use my dive bezel to monitor my on scene times. Works great!
Absolute god send for timing cooking - saves you trying to route around for a phone timer while trying to manage pots and pans
haha never thought about it...
It would be awesome if you continue with such videos on topics like different complications, aspects of watchmaking (techniques, history)..

How did you use it to track Zulu time?
Dive bezels are so useful. I use them all the time to measure daily tasks or set reminders. They are actually far more legible and intuitive for me than a chrono or digital watch.
They are my favorite watch for running by far.
