The Mido Ocean
Star Powerwind 1000 ref. 5907 from 1961 (the watch on which the new model is
based) was immediately recognizable thanks to the presence of a multi-colored
decompression scale on the watch's dial. This eye-catching dive watch was
marketed toward early skin divers, as the scale on the dial could indicate the
required length of a decompression stop during dives of varying depths and
durations. This function-first tool watch was produced from approximately 1961
to 1965.
The Ocean Star
Decompression Timer 1961 reproduces the irresistible vintage charm of the Ocean
Star Skin Diver Watch, a popular 1960s MIDO model that remains one of the
brand’s most sought-after original timepieces to date. Dedicated to the
underwater world, this watch also served as a precious diving tool thanks to
the multicoloured display of decompression Ko stops on the dial. It uses the
best of current technology to revive the striking codes of the time, namely a
rotating bezel with countdown timer and a coloured table beneath a
‘glassbox’-style sapphire crystal. This watch is equipped with the Caliber 80,
which offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours. Each model comes with three
easily interchangeable strap options.
This was was highly sought after by Collector and it was all sold out in Singapore, Malaysia and HK.. Lucky, with the help of Eva, I am able to get the last one from Taiwan.
