Key Features
- Swiss Automatic Movement: Powered by an in-house automatic caliber, this watch delivers reliable timekeeping with no need for battery changes. The movement offers an extended autonomy of up to 80 hours, meaning it remains accurate and operational even after three full days without being worn.
- Unidirectional Rotating Ceramic Bezel: Crafted from high-quality ceramic, the bezel is scratch-resistant and built to withstand harsh marine environments. It rotates in one direction only, a critical safety feature for divers to prevent accidental overestimation of dive time. The ceramic construction ensures long-lasting color and durability.
- Wave-Design Dial with Luminous Indexes: The dial features a dynamic wave pattern that reflects the watch’s ocean-inspired heritage. Each hour marker is individually applied and coated with white Super-Luminova® for excellent visibility in low-light or underwater conditions. The day and date calendar display adds practical functionality for daily wear.
- 20 Bar Water Resistance: Rated for depths up to 200 meters (20 bar), this watch is engineered for serious diving activities. The robust construction includes a screw-down crown and case back, enhancing water tightness and protecting internal components from moisture and pressure.
- 42.5mm Stainless Steel Case: The case is made from durable stainless steel, offering a balanced combination of strength and comfort. Its 42.5mm diameter provides a bold, masculine presence on the wrist while remaining wearable for most men. The case shape is designed to offer extra protection to the crown, reducing the risk of impact damage.
- Engraved Case Back: The screw-down case back is elegantly engraved with the Ocean Star logo, adding a signature touch that highlights MIDO’s commitment to craftsmanship and brand identity.
