    I know what a pip (pearl?) is, but what does it mean? Is it an abbreviation for something? Thanks.

    a pip is another word for the small seeds found in some fruits, for example apples; the use of "pip" on bezels probably alludes to this, I doubt is an acronym..

    It is a noun and an abbreviation of pippin. An excellent person or thing.

    Aiming Pip, Predicted Impact Point, a/k/a Pipper, a marker used in sighting gun systems (say aircraft guns), Pip make sense of a pearl in this instance as a designated marker to mean something on a rotating bezel, say a luminous marker dialed in to a specific time ;)

    Thank you, it certainly fits if you take "pip" out of a watch context and move into its primary context.
