Some moved both ways and the bezel needed to be pressed down to do this.

All 1680's and early SD 1665's (incl. all Double Reds) have a press-to-release; no ratchet; bi directional bezel..

The 16800 Sub and 16660 SD that followed in about 1978/79 introduced the 120 click ratcheting, uni-directional bezel...
