The Mido x Hodinkee Ocean Star GMT resolves that issue for me, presenting this limited edition in a spot-on 40.5mm stainless steel case. All of that said, the only thing that has stopped me from making that purchase were the larger case proportions. Let us not forget that the model also houses a movement that allows for a jumping hour hand at a solid price point. The regular production Mido Ocean Star GMT is certainly a looker, sporting bold accents, a modern handset, and my favorite, a timing bezel. A new collaboration between Mido and Hodinkee gives us yet another option for a travel ready companion with the Ocean Star GMT Limited Edition. Whether the watch is of the “caller” or “flyer” variety, the landscape of watches equipped with a fourth hand has vastly widened thanks to some brand ingenuity and the introduction of accessible GMT movements. Fast forward to 2022, the situation is much different, and the options are plentiful. Those watches are far enough now where it’s closer to a dream to acquire than a reality. At the time, a couple of GMTs that I coveted for their size and design, were just out of my price range, but now, forget about it. I recall a time when I would frequently type in, “Best Affordable GMTs” into your favorite watch forum and come up with a sparse list that more or less, looked the same. It’s never been a better time to be GMT-curious.
