It just dawned on me that the bezel markings on the SD4K (and maybe all SD’s) for minutes 1-15 are larger than the rest of the minutes. For as much as I’ve gazed at this thing since owning it, I can’t believe I’ve never noticed that before, nor do I recall others talking about it. Learn something new every day I suppose.

I havent noticed it on my sd43 either!

Those are the critical moments in diving. It's a reminder to begin ascent.

brandrea · 14 February 2019, 10:04 PM

Yes indeed, little details matter

samson66 · 14 February 2019, 10:08 PM

Did you notice that there are four tick marks between every 5 second interval from 1-15, but only three from 15-60?

That part of the bezel is normally used to time a safety stop at around 5m before returning to surface.

I saw that like 2 month ago after love Rolex watches for more than 30 yeras. Incredible but true.

Not until now! Lol

Did you notice your watch has additional mark at 32?

By the way, I love the minute markers, they make the watch. That's why I like it better than the sub.

That's always been obvious to me!!! 15mins is the safe zone for a dive. Afterwards it's time to surface.

I have to correct my own statement. Actually as seen above there are four tic marks from 55-15, three tic marks from 15-55. I guess the 55-60 is due to the lack of a number at 0 and makes it more pleasing to the eye.
