Introducing
Mido NOS Commander "Sea" and "Air"
Circa 1970s
One has to guess why they named these very dressy wristwatches "Commander".
Keeping along with theme, I've named them Sea and Air respective to the elements portrayed in their dials.
New old stock, with sticks still on, the Sea and Air come in a nice oversized cushion case, two-tiered dial depicting a vast emptiness in its center - kind of like what the sea and the air are like I guess.
Time telling would be an issue here, what with no visible hour markers besides the crosshair at 12, 3, 6, and 9'O.
What I get from these is a sense of emptiness, the plain dials the emphasis after the broad polished bracelet draws your attention.
Get lost in time, your gaze upon its dial, hours and minutes lost.
