Question on air command
Dear All,
Just picked up my air command from boutique today.
The 42.5mm sized case doesn’t look too big on wrist, though slightly thick.
The dial is really awesome.
I know the bezel can be moved in both directions, for pilot to measure remaining time of fuel.
But I find there is no clicking when turning the bezel, ie it can be turned freely in both directions. Unlike the clicking mechanism of fifty fathoms. May I know is it normal?
Thank you.
Henry

Congratulations Henry!
Yes, it’s completely normal as you were informed by the boutique! Enjoy your beauty and welcome to the club: Best, Mark ...
Thanks, Henrik. That’s reassuring. As I read from a hands-on report saying the bi-directional pilot bezel is ratcheted.
Since the bezel and glass were overed by plastic film in the boutique, hence I didn’t check the turning of bezel, thought it is ratcheted with click as in most other watches. Cheers, Henry
Thanks for the further confirmation, Templetowers.
Yes, I am attracted by its beauty. On further reading the caliber inside is quite impressive as well, especially the 5Hz beat rate to enable chronograph measurement of 1/10 sec.
An update:
Just called the SA of boutique. That's normal. The bi-directional bezel has no ratchet/ clicking on turning.
Beautiful balance of the bi-complex chronograph
Think my next chrono will be this design -the balance has won me over
