🇬🇧🇪🇸 bezel - bisel : English Lesson

Meaning of "bezel" ("bisel"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

A bezel is a special ring, usually made of metal or hard plastic, that holds something important in the middle so it doesn’t fall out. For example, on a watch or a clock, the bezel is the ring around the glass that keeps the glass and the watch face safely in place. It’s like a strong little fence or picture frame that goes around the outside to protect what’s inside.

Watch and listen to this English flashcard to understand the word in more detail, with an easy example sentence.

My watch fell off the table, but the bezel held the glass so tightly that even gravity said, “Never mind.”

The watch bezel was so shiny that I could see my own confused face asking, “What’s a bezel?”

During class, I stared at the bezel on my watch so hard the teacher thought I was trying to hypnotize it into recess.

The bezel around my spy watch makes it look serious, even though the only mission it’s completed is “survive the laundry.”

On some watches the bezel can spin to help measure time.

An old man pried the broken bezel from his watch, worried. The bezel fell, ring scratched, the glass loose. He pressed a new bezel around the face; the glass clicked into place. The bezel held steady. He smiled, tapping the bezel, hearing the steady tick, and felt the watch whole again.
