Some watches do not have the following bezel functions because of dierences
in type or design.

1. Compass function (in the northern hemisphere)
Compass direction can be approximated by this function, based on the direction
of the sun.
<Finding compass direction>
Point the hour hand in the direction of the
sun. The midpoint between the hour hand
and the 12 hours mark is roughly equal to
south. Point the “S” mark in the south
direction and you can read the approximate
directions of the compass. Use this
indication just as a guideline because the
indication changes slightly depending on
the season and latitude.
