What to know
The 37.09 Bluefin moves the diving scale beneath the sapphire crystal rather than placing it on an external bezel. The crown at four o’clock turns the dial in sixty clicks, while luminous segments and hands establish the timing reference. MING’s flared lugs and blue surfaces preserve its recognisable design language.
The 38mm steel case is rated to 600 metres, with a 12.8mm thickness. A customised automatic Sellita SW300-1 supplies a 50-hour reserve and is visible through the back. Announced in May 2024, the Bluefin accompanied a shaped FKM rubber strap and adjustable tuck buckle. It is separate from MING’s later Odyssey travel-diver model.
