Understanding Tachymeter indications

Hi,

I noticed that some of the (older) tachymeter scales have words like 'Mile' or 'Base' on them.

Does anyone know what this means? The newer watches don't seem to have this anymore.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think they really make a difference. If you read the scale in miles, then it's mph, otherwise, kph.
