Marina Militare Submersible Bezel

[steveziv]

I just rec'd a MM Sub from Singapore. The quality was excellent but the bezel function is odd. It fits snugly and turns smoothly but only locks in five minute increments. I've never seen or heard of a dive bezel like this before. Older divers are often not ratcheted or unidirectional, modern diver are usually unidirectional and ratchet in half or full minute increments, but 5 minute increments? Whats the point? I've never handled a PAM Sub, this isn't a PAM feature that they are emulating, is it?

Thanks.

Mine does the same and I am curious if it is like this on any version of the gen. A cursory google search returned minute intervals on most submersible models. I don't particularly mind this though, but it is a bit odd.

The gen used to have a 5-min "click" from A to C-series.....now they use 60 minutes.
