MING has recently released the 37.11 Odyssey, a timepiece redefining the intersection of global travel and professional diving capability. Building upon the groundbreaking pressure-balanced case architecture of its GPHG-winning predecessor, the Bluefin, the Odyssey introduces a sophisticated GMT complication, transforming a robust tool watch into a refined companion for the modern explorer. This creation stands as a testament to horological brilliance, merging technical innovation with an unmistakably elegant and lightweight form.
The Odyssey showcases an innovative luminous GMT dial
The soul of this timepiece lies in its revolutionary bidirectional rotating dial, created from smoked sapphire to offer a mesmerizing glimpse of the mechanics within. This grand component is engineered with 24 precise clicks, each representing a global time zone, and is elevated with luminous, color-coded markings — a bold blue for daytime and a vibrant orange for the evening. This ingenious display is complemented by a new gradient luminous handset and Polar White indices embedded in the top crystal, ensuring perfect legibility from the sunny deck of a yacht to the ocean’s deepest depths.
