My Bezel can turn in an anti clockwise way but I cant seem to turn it clockwise. According to my information the bezel is Unidirectional - can anyone assist?

That's how it should be - 'uni' is from the Latin meaning 'one' or 'a single' (think of a unicycle having only one wheel).

You do get bidirectional bezels (the Skyracer has one) but most watches have the single or unidirectional bezel and I think this comes from diving where it could be life-threatening to have your bezel accidently move if you're timing how much oxygen you have left and it indicates an increased time. I could be wrong here though!

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for that, I accidently managed to move the bezel and had to turn it anticlockwise to get it back to where it should be. Anyway thanks for the info! Greatly Appreciated.

Just remember to align it properly afterwards and you should be fine. ;)
