Vintage Mido Ocean Star Watch Box Green Display Case w/ Insert 1950s 1960s

A charming and highly collectible vintage Mido presentation box, made for the Ocean Star line, with beautiful period graphics and unmistakable mid-century character.

This original Mido Ocean Star watch box features a green exterior with gilt decorative striping and star motifs, opening to a cream satin-lined lid printed with the Mido logo and OCEAN STAR branding. The interior also retains its fitted watch holder/insert, making it a far more complete and desirable example than empty boxes commonly found on the market.

The printed inner lid includes the period promotional wording:

“SELF-WINDING – WATERPROOF – SHOCK RESISTANT

UNBREAKABLE MAINSPRING – ANTI-MAGNETIC”

Based on its styling and construction, this box is best described as a mid-century vintage Mido Ocean Star presentation box, likely dating to the 1950s–1960s period.

Condition:

Pre-owned vintage condition with visible age and honest wear. The exterior shows scuffs, surface marks, edge wear, small losses and handling marks, particularly around the corners and top. The interior remains attractive overall, with some discoloration, light staining, age wear, and signs of use to the insert and lining. Please study the photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description.

A very appealing accessory for a collector of vintage Mido Ocean Star watches, or for display alongside a correct period piece.
