Using the Sixty-Minute Countdown Bezel: A Step-by-Step Guide

A sixty-minute countdown bezel can be useful for a variety of activities that demand accurate timing. Here's how to utilize a sixty-minute countdown bezel on the Rivelta Metrodive in detail:

Step 1: Identify the Countdown Bezel

The Rivelta Metrodive's bezel can be turned in both directions. The triangle pip can be used as a sixty-minute or zero-minute marker. The minute markers begin at the 55th minute, then the 50th minute, and so on until they reach the 5th minute before reaching the triangle pip.

 

Step 2: Configure the countdown timer.

Rotate the Bezel: Align the bezel's minute marker with the current minute.
Align the Marker: Ensure that the minute marker on the Metrodive's dial is properly aligned with the minute hand.

Step 3: Monitor the Countdown

Keep an eye on the minute hand as time passes. The countdown bezel now serves as a visual reference point, displaying the amount of time before your scheduled event or activity.

Step 4: Finish the countdown

Your countdown is complete when the minute hand hits the triangular point on the bezel.

 

Advice and Caution:

  1. Bidirectional Bezel: The countdown bezel can revolve in both directions. Avoid making unintentional alterations that could lead to an underestimation of the remaining time.
  2. Precision: The countdown bezel is appropriate for relatively short periods where minute accuracy is required.
  3. Practice: Get to know the bezel and practice utilizing it before relying on it for essential timing.
  4. Power Reserve: The Miyota 9015 has a 42-hour maximum power reserve. Make sure the movement has enough power reserves to avoid depletion in the middle of the countdown.

Using the sixty-minute countdown bezel is the point of the Metrodive, making it a versatile tool for various time-sensitive activities, from cooking to managing meeting durations.
