SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
RIDER-TAB BEZEL
The bezel of your watch is fi tted with 4 hour-markers called
rider-tabs : they are used as points of reference to mark a start
time or a limit time you wish to remember. On models without
a chronograph, they also provide a "minute chronograph"
function enabling you 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.
