Well it's only on flat sided bezels fairly obviously, and from memory it was around 2004, but not all models at the same time.

The B on the bezel was introduced well before 2004. I have a 1995 Antares, 1996 Crosswind & 1997 Wings watches with it on.

It was introduced to mark different type of bezels at that time.
