The bezel ( ) allows the same reading direction to be kept for the indications ( ) carried by a ring ( ) able to rotate freely on a base ( ) to which it is affixed to bring a selected indication ( ) opposite a determined marking of the base ( ) or of a dial ( ). The indications ( ) are marked on the outer surface of studs ( ) each kept free in rotation about their rotational axis ( ) in a housing ( ) provided through the thickness of the ring ( ) and opening onto the base ( ). Each stud ( ) includes in its lower part ( ) at least two stems ( ) of different dimensions, offset by the same distance from the rotational axis ( ) of the studs ( ), and having an angular offset of less than 180&deg;, each stem ( ) being guided during rotation of the bezel ( ) by a circular groove ( ) formed in the base ( ) and having a cross-section adapted to the dimensions of each stem ( ), a radius equal to that of the circle ( ) described by the rotational axis of the studs, the centres ( ) of each groove ( ) having, with respect to the centre of the dial, exactly the same arrangement as the stems ( ) with respect to the rotational axis ( ) of the studs ( ).
