[WTS] Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 Limited Edition
[WTS] Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 Limited Edition
Selling my limited edition Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961, number 1515 of the 1961 watches produced worldwide. The watch comes with 4 total straps and all original papers and packaging. Reference number M026.807.11.051.00 **Price $1400 - I accept PayPal (G&S+3.5%), Zelle, or Venmo.** **I'm fairly new to this community, but recently bought one of my grails here. I have sold a few watches and higher value items over the years on eBay and am happy to provide that reference if you message me as well. Please feel free to reach out to me with a PM or email me at** [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])**. I’m open to phone calls and Zoom or FaceTime if you'd like.** The watch is in immaculate shape, keeps unreal time at this price-point (currently averaging 0 to +2 seconds a day), and is cosmetically in excellent condition. I've done my best to try to honestly show its condition through the photos, and can provide more images or a 360 video if you'd like. I'm extremely careful with my watches and cycle through a collection, so this overall has not seen much wrist time. This watch is incredibly unique, beautiful, and a true homage to the era of utilitarian tool watches. The decompression scales not only add a nice touch of color, but have such a interesting history as an important function that was vital for divers in the 1960s. Included with the watch are all parts of the original box and papers, purchased from Hodinkee in August of 2020 before these pieces quickly sold out. This packaging celebrates the limited edition and comes with 2 additional straps, a leather strap and rubber strap with accents matching the dial colors, along with the Milanese steel bracelet the watch came standard on. I've also went through Mido's parts department and purchased the official strap from the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer (M026.829.17.051.00). This black Tropic rubber strap from Mido is impeccable and suits this limited edition model so well. The watch has perfect dimensions of a 40.5mm diameter case with 13.4mm thickness. It has a beautiful box-shaped sapphire crystal, screw-down crown + caseback, and 200 meters of water-resistance. Powered by the modern workhorse of the Mido Calibre 80 (base ETA C07.621), featuring 25 jewels, 21,600 vibrations per hour, 80 hour power reserve, and an anti-magnetic silicon balance spring. As much as I love this watch, I unfortunately must let it go as I am currently applying to medical school and need to free up some funds. Feel free to as any additional questions. Thanks for looking and happy holidays!
