An old picture of a superb watch: Mido Powerwind.
There are few watches which offer a decompression scale for divers: The Vulcain Nautical is the most famous.
The Mido Powerwind is the other one, less known, of course, but with a lot of charm.
Here is a picture I took some 5 years ago, of a quite NOS model, found in a watch shop.
Finding one is like finding a tooth pick for a chicken, which means highly improbable.
But if you are lucky enough to find one, don't miss your chance.
I only saw it once.
Best,
Nicolas

Thank you for bring this watch to my attention.
Otherwise I will never know its existence. Certainly a similar design to the Vulcain, with a even more colorful and lively color theme.
One lives and learns :)
Looks quite funky - not sure you\'d be able to see the scale underwater but that makes it no less cool. Thanks for sharing this!
If nothing else, at least a great conversation starter? :)
But charming irrespective of how useable it actually is...
A dream like dial got this marvel Nicolas! Being an sport scuba diver myself...
... I wonder how practical this dial could be to plan a dive before getting into the water, but from the watch collectors´s point of view it is a wonderful piece! Thank you for sharing with us! I´d love to have one in my collection of course! Un abrazo mi...
They would've been...
..gimmicky when they were released, planning a dive with a puzzling dial??But now they are fun and charming.
the dial pattern like the rainbow .
It is the first time that seeing this watch piece, have to recognize that really a nice combo.
