Question about 5512/5513 bezel.

On the 5512/5513, and for that matter the 1680s, did the bezel turn both ways or just counter-clockwise?

Some bi-directional bezels need to be pushed down and then turned.

All the rotating bezels were friction lock, until they changed them in the 80's

As Larry indicated, the 120 click unidirectional bezel was introduced on the 16800.
