Hello all. Pictured is my 1998 Colt SuperOcean A17040.

Can anyone tell me what the inner bezel ring (numbered 1-100) is supposed to measure? I'm pretty certain it's not a Tachymeter.

Thanks!

It's just a % scale, so the 50 at the 6 o'clock position shows 50% of a minute/hour.

It's for the military timing - 1/100 of an hour scale.

Thanks for the replies. I suppose that makes sense.

I was in the military and never once had to reference or know the percentage of an hour.
