Catalogue Note:
The Mido Ocean Star Ref 5907 was part of the Ocean Star Series made between 1961 and 1965. Also known also as the “Rainbow Diver” and “Powerwind 1000”, the Mido ref 5907 carries a colorful “exotic” dial, with bright concentric rings highlighting decompression times for depths down to 149 feet. The dial was designed to prevent confusion during dives, with each concentric circle representing the decompression period necessary. The dial is completed by a black outer edge of where depths are shown at 12 o’clock, and a white center circle. Inside the white center concentric circle are numerals 3, 6, 9 and 12, with the applied “Mido” emblem just below the 12.
