I would prefer to see the same design here, but the white disc is fine, too, acting as a counterweight to the marker at 9 o’clock. The blue fabric strap has two red stripes and a central white stripe, tone-on-tone stitching, metal loops and reinforced adjustment holes with a satin-finished and polished stainless steel pin buckle. In addition to its screw-down case back, the Ocean Star GMT Blue is built with a screw-down signed crown which allows for a water resistance of 200m. These striking orange numerals are often associated with Mido and reflect the vibrant collections released by this Swiss watchmaker. The soft blue colour of the dial provides a perfect base for the rectangular applied indexes with their mirror-polished contours and lume-filled interiors.

mm case was custom designed for this collaboration and is presented without crown guards for a more vintage effect on the wrist. There is also no corresponding 0-24 scale on the dial, the bezel is the only place to read the GMT hand against. I have the black dial version of the watch and it feels and wears much smaller than a 44mm diameter watch.Currently, the brand under the motto "Inspired by architecture" creates model lines inspired by iconic buildings, such as Big Ben in London, the Colosseum in Rome, or the Great Wall of China. And although the lug-to-lug is a hefty 50mm, it does wear a lot smaller, IMO, more like a 42-43mm watch and hence in Seiko SKX territory.

The Mido also has a fixed 0-24 scale on the shallow-sloped chapter ring, executed in black and blue to differentiate day and night.This diver flaunts diamond-cut silver hour and minute hands, a second hand with a blue varnished tip and a matching blue varnished 24-hour GMT hand which indicates the time in a second time zone by pointing to the hour-circle (24-hour format) on the two-tone flange of its dial.

With the Mido Ocean Star GMT Limited Edition For Hodinkee, the classic Mido mix of elegance and sporty styling is met with versatile proportions and a movement designed to jump from one time zone to the next.

Superior flyer GMT watches such as the famous Rolex GMT-Master II usually come at a substantial cost. The watch seems better suited to a traveller moving between zones, as that is the primary setting method. Both are quite austere, with simple repeated shapes, and touches of luxury only via the use of colour and applied indices. I wanted the GMT specific for travel but if I had the money I would pick up one of the 200c's or the Ocean Star Tribute.We see it as a nod to the golden age of travel that captures the excitement and romance for your wrist, even for those moments when you’re stuck in line for security, or simply dreaming of that next far-off destination. Inspired by the vintage Mido Multicenterchrono, the aesthetic is supported by design elements including the railway minute track, the red GMT hand, a matte black dial, and the use of the vintage Mido signature.
