not sure about the underlying mechanics but it is 60 clicks as opposed to 120 and it is so tight that it has never moved accidently on me unlike my sub or gmt which are frequently off by a click or two - i really like that aspect of the bb bezel - it is functional but it is very tight, almost fixed
