New Mido Ocean Star Tribute Collection

Post by AtomicTom » Thu Apr 01, 2021 1:34 pm

Did you guys already see Mido’s Ocean Star Tribute Collection?

The watches help celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Ocean Star.
With details like 40.5mm stainless steel cases, 200m WR, box style
sapphire crystals, diver’s bezels with aluminum rings, green, black,
and blue dials with SLN coated hands, and markers. Along Caliber 80
automatic movement, and nice straps, and bracelets.

Have a few pictures right here...

Nice, simple, good looking watches.

I like those, Tom. Thanks for posting.

If Mido ever puts their GMT movement into this size case, I will have money in hand to buy one.

Yes, these are nice. Sometimes it doesn't need to be over complicated. Can even live with day/ wheel and even better black with black dial.

How do these differ from the ones that were already out?

These look to have more of a vintage style than the other versions of
the Ocean Star it seems Todd. :thumbsup:

It seems like they have a more classic look overall, but are still really
eye-catching with all of the neat details, and accents. Not to mention
different dial colors, and straps, and bracelets.

Am so glad that you guys enjoyed these so much. They really are very
very nicel, have to agree ! :salute: :)

Cant thank everyone enough as always for sharing your thoughts !!!

Could be just the pictures, but these don't seem as highly polished as the previous black/blue versions.

Brice, the black really is gorgeous sir ! :excited: And Eric, the turquoise is
spectacular as well. Very different right?! :thumbsup: ..Oh, and Matt, am
thinking it just might be the pictures with the finish. But they do look to
be more brushed you are right. :)

Thanks a ton for giving your two cents everyone !!!
