Dive watches are meant to provide divers with an indication of how long they have been underwater, or how much air they have left, so they effectively record elapsed time. You can surmise that this is not particularly accurate because the count-up bezel is used to track the time and inform the diver. It is pretty rough-and-tumble stuff, and today dive computers and pressure gauges offer better accuracy.
It is for this reason that flyback chronographs feature quite strongly in the roster of aviation watches, and also brings into focus the bidirectional rotating bezel because that too has a functional purpose. This has to do with countdown timing, with regards to the time it will take to get to the next “fix.” As you can see, the numbers are arranged in a counter-clockwise fashion So a pilot or navigator would use the bezel to mark the estimated arrival at the next “fix” opposite the minute hand.
