I was supposed to be window shopping

Well… once I saw it in person I had to have it.

I’m sure everyone knows exactly what this is so I won’t go on about the specs. First day of wear so I can’t really say much about it besides the fact that it feels much more expensive than it actually was… like really really nice. This is my second modern Mido, and I’m really liking the quality this SWATCH Group brand has been putting out.

I did get to try on the decompression diver while I was there, and I almost bought it, but didn’t have a bracelet option!

I’ve been eying this piece for a while now, but I was going back and forth between this, the Doxa sub200, Rado Captain Cook and a few other pieces, but the Ocean Star tribute took my breath away in person.

The shade of blue for the printed dial with pure white indexes, the hands, the bezel, the vintage inspired case, and the most dramatic domed sapphire crystal I have ever seen in person (besides the glass box Carrera)

I just couldn’t ignore this one. Nope. Not happening…

Great purchase! Mido really hit it out of the park with the ocean star tribute in blue 🔥

Really looks great on you!

I’ve heard Mido’s finishing is excellent. Love the color.

Love Mido. I have an Ocean Star 200, but have been eyeing this one, too (as well as the new GMT). So gorgeous. Congrats!

Very attractive and eye catching style watch...Nice selectiopn..👍

It is a great looking watch!

What a beautiful watch! Amazing find. Congratulations

I love this watch. I watched a couple of videos on it about a year ago two and I’m still in love with it. There’s just something about it. I had a choice of getting it or the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date with Slate Blue Dial and the stainless bracelet. I went with the Oris. Low-key regretting it but I do love my Oris.

Excellent choice! Mido is putting out some really fine watches.

Great value for the money and they are super cool!

This watch makes me think of a 70’s Italian movie, in the best way.

·

Really cool watch.

·

listen, window shopping still involves shopping. great pickup

·

Your Mido looks great.

I picked up my Ocean Star Tribute a few months ago. I got the date only version which came with an additional rubber strap. Not easy to come by in the UK but am very pleased with it.

Nah don’t regret that. The pointer date is a freaking stunning watch on its own! There’s always room for two haha. You got the best dial of them all too!!
