Anyone know how to open a Mido Ocean Star Powerwind?

I am trying to open the watch, I believe it comes out the front but I can't work out how to remove the crown?

Hi Roddy

Is this a monocase ? If then you do not know the calibre used. I asume the crystal front is removed.
No small indentation at the crown position from the front visible?
--> the stem is very likely two parted ; try this:
bring the crown in a position with the 'Mido' writing parallel to the face. Turn over the watch (face down and one hand to catch underneath) and gently shake. The movement should come out.

Hi Gerald,
I tried lining up the Mido on the crown parallel. upside down and at 90 degrees. It still just tilts out slightly but not clear of the case.

How is the date set on this watch ?

a) (repetitive) pressing the crown

b) back and forth 21h- 24h

Hi, Gerald,
Back & forth.
