60afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 60odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into sixty parts of 1/60 each. It is a superset of 59afdo and a subset of 61afdo. Added to 59afdo are many 119/ ratios. As a scale it may be known as mode 60 of the harmonic series or the Over-60 scale.

60 = 22 × 3 × 5, and 60afdo is a highly composite afdo, with many ways to form frequency-domain equal subset scales.
