OF AN HOUR DIAL DISPLAY
Your Breitling chronometer is equipped with a scale dividing the hour into
hundredths, thus making it easier to read off the minutes on a decimal base.
E.g.: 0.6h = 36minutes.

RIDER-TAB BEZEL
The bezel of your watch is fitted with 4 hour-markers called rider-tabs:
they are used as points of reference to mark the time of departure or
a limit time one wishes to remember. On models with no chronograph
functions, they also serve as "minute chronograph" enabling one to measure time
elapsed in minutes.
Rider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving a better grip (especially
when wearing gloves) and additionally protect the glass.
