GMT bezel = how many steps?

I know that in theceramic bezel, there is 1 step every hour.

What about the old bezels ? Is it like a Submariner, 120 steps ?


I say "steps" but I don't know how you call the "click" you hear when you turn the bezel.

I guess that I have found the reply. Seems to be 1 per minute. Is it correct ?

What do you prefer, 1 per minute or 2 per minutes ?

Yes, 120 clicks on the 16710 GMT II. The GMT IIc has 2 clicks per hour so a total of 24.

Because the ceramic bezel rides on a ball bearing assembly. I prefer the 120 clicks too.

The ceramic bezel of the new GMT has 24 clicks to measure the hours of another time-zone. The Sub measures minutes under water. Different functionalities I guess.
