Werner; Got a bigger pic? I can't see this one. I looked in the Shugart book, all the Wakmann chronos look like this one same flat spot no bezel.....would like to see what is in the pic, doesn;t look like the same watch.
Dive watches from that era all have bezels that turn one way only. You set it to the time you descend then you know how long you are down. It only turns one way so that you can only accidentally shorten, not lengthen, your dive time. With modern dive computers these are a relic of the past but many still use one as a back-up.

Werner; Thanks for the link...I think you're right, this needs a bezel. (See below pic of pretty much the same watch, same crystal with a narrow bezel)
Mike; I think you're right as well, now to find the correct one way bezel, this is my watchmakers he'll have to fit a bezel before selling it to bring anything.
