My bezel does not allow you to go backwards at any position of rotation. By design, it's not supposed to let you rotate clockwise, only counter-clockwise. You might want to get it checked out. Sorry.

Mine actually does this too. Noticed it a few months after I purchased it. It requires a little more pressure but it will click in the wrong direction. I thought about getting it fixed under warranty but it doesnt really bother me and since I will never rely on it for diving I didnt take it in. Plus when I accidently bump the bezel a few clicks over during normal wear I can move it back without making a full spin back to the 12 oclock position.

I have a K series seadweller and I tried to apply even more pressure on that one and i couldnt get it to move in the wrong direction.


Get it fixed if it really bothers you.

I dive a lot with mine, and use the bezel as a bottom timer. I have never had mine rotate clockwise. You may want to have it serviced.
