Many people are very fond of the bezel of Rolex’s cola color matching, whether it starts from its recognizable appearance, or is loyal to the quality of Rolex watches, many people are addicted to it.

But today’s protagonist is not Rolex. The reason why it is mentioned is because this watch has the same purpose as the bezel of Rolex’s cola color matching, which is from MIDO’s Navigator series dual time zone watch.

MIDO’s new dial is covered with dark blue, symbolizing the vast ocean, and the most prominent and conspicuous is the two-color GMT scale. The classic red and blue cola two-color is fashionable and eye-catching, creating a unique look and feel experience.

In addition to its attractive appearance, the two-color GMT dial also has practical functions: blue for night and red for day. The second time zone hands are scribbled in red to contrast with the dark blue dial. The calendar window is at 3 o’clock.

The watch is a 44mm stainless steel case with a brushed and polished finish. The unidirectional rotating bezel is inlaid with a ceramic scale ring, which combines an elegant look and a delicate touch, and also has a very high hardness.

As a waterproof watch, its screw-in crown can ensure a water-resistant depth of 200 meters. Flip to the bottom cover and you can see a world time dial. The watch is equipped with a stainless steel strap, and a NATO strap is also included. The blue, red and white design also echoes the dial.

Since MIDO launched the Navigator series in 1944, it has been nearly 80 years and has many impressive models. Inspired by the Europa Point Lighthouse in the Strait of Gibraltar, it indicates that even in the center of the storm, it will stand still and point the way forward for navigators.

And such a highly recognizable MIDO watch with two colors of Coke, the price is only 1300 dollars, it has to be said that it is very cost-effective.
