Bezel

By Frederik Drost

A watch bezel is a metal band that encircles the face of a watch. It is usually made of stainless steel, gold, or other precious metals. The bezel serves to protect the crystal of the watch and may feature engraved designs or be set with diamonds or other precious stones. It also helps to keep the crystal from getting scratched or damaged from everyday wear and tear.
