A bezel is a band of metal containing a groove and a flange (i.e. projecting lip) holding a watch crystal or gemstone in its setting. This was the earliest method of setting gemstones into jewelry. An extension of the word used in this sense can refer to a rotatable rim on a clock or watch used to indicate certain data such as elapsed time.
