The Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer takes one of the most recognizable dials in Mido’s archive and gives it a traveler’s job. The colorful decompression scale of the 1960s Ocean Star Decompression Timer stays front and center, while a city bezel and a 24-hour hand let you follow a second time zone.

Set on a black base, the multicolored dial is pure neo-vintage fun, with block-shaped indexes and dauphine hands treated with Super-LumiNova. The 24-hour GMT hand sweeps the dial once a day and reads against the city names on the rotating bezel, so home time and local time are always a glance apart. Powering it is Mido’s Caliber 80 in its GMT version, based on the ETA C07.661, with an 80-hour reserve and a Nivachron balance spring for added resistance to magnetism. A glass-box style sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and screw-down back engraved with a starfish keep it sealed to 200 meters.

At 40.5mm the case is compact for a GMT, and the black rubber strap makes it equally at home on a boat deck or a departure lounge.
