Dive watches are meant to be tough, not surprised it's still looking great! Similarly, a unidirectional bezel is a requirement for dive certification, since it's not an issue in decompressing to over-estimate time, but it would be a big issue if you bumped the bezel in the other direction and then thought you were down there less time than you were.
As for cleaning, sometimes vinegar or isopropyl will loosen things that soap doesn't, but to really get nooks and crannies, your best bet is a quick trip to a jeweler or buying some specialized tools. If you know your local jeweler or go to the place you bought the watch, they'll often do a quick outer cleaning free.
