The slanted edge of a cut gemstone or the angled face of a dial, designed to catch and reflect light or display information at an angle.
Variant spelling of 'bezel,' from Old French and Middle English, possibly derived from Old French 'biser' meaning 'to bevel.' The word describes the angled cutting or mounting used in jewelry and watches.
Watch bezels aren't just for looks—they help divers track their dive time, pilots navigate, and jewelers maximize how light dances through precious stones!
