MIDO Ocean Star, the Retro Charm Reproduces the Classic
Swiss MIDO launched a new Navigator series commemorative long kinetic energy automatic mechanical watch. The special feature is that the dial uses a red gradient treatment, which reproduces the classic watch style of the 1860s with a retro color scheme.

The bezel is made of black aluminum alloy and uses a matte process, which contrasts sharply with the mirror-polished case shape, further enhancing the visual layering.
The striking dial is treated with a red gradient, from bright red in the center to dark red at the edges, gradually blending with the chronograph scale. The bright color adjustment, like the afterglow of the sunset, reflects the entire dial very brilliantly.

In the 1960s, this legendary rubber strap was used because of its excellent moisture resistance. , considered the first choice for divers.
As a diving watch, MIDO’s new work is excellent in both appearance and internal functions. The black and red gradient of the dial is translucent, which is undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence of the entire watch.
