*Notes: The original Jardur Bezelmeter 960 was
designed for pilots. It was essentially a cockpit instrument for the wrist. Two
features incorporated in the new Degreemeter design give clear evidence of this
intent. The bezel on the case is an independent chapter ring graduated in
counter clockwise hours. Rotating the ring to align the mission duration hours
with the hour hand on the dial at take off gives the pilot a quick reference of
the flight time remaining during any point in the mission.
On the dial was a red degree meter scale
graduated from 0-180 degrees of angle. Aircraft have control settings which
will produce a standard turn rate of 3 degrees per second. By starting the
chronograph sweep second hand at the initial part of turning, the sweep second
hand position indicates the instantaneous course deviation in degrees on the
red degree meter scale. This information
is more reliable than using magnetic compass instruments which are subject to
inertial forces during turning maneuvers.
