Product Overview

Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement (Caliber 80) – At the heart of the Ocean Star Tribute lies MIDO’s Caliber 80 automatic movement, a hallmark of Swiss watchmaking excellence. This self-winding mechanism delivers consistent accuracy and requires no battery, relying instead on the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. With a power reserve of up to 80 hours, the watch remains operational for over three days without being worn, making it a practical choice for those who don’t wear their watch daily.
• 200-Meter Water Resistance – Engineered for aquatic adventures, the watch is water-resistant to 20 bar (equivalent to 200 meters or 656 feet). This level of protection makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. The screw-down crown and reinforced case construction help maintain integrity under pressure, ensuring reliable performance in wet environments.
• 40.5mm Stainless Steel Case – The case is precision-crafted from durable stainless steel, offering a robust structure that resists daily wear and corrosion. Its 40.5mm diameter provides a substantial yet wearable profile, appealing to those who appreciate a confident wrist presence without excess bulk. The polished finish enhances its refined appearance, echoing the timeless style of vintage dive watches.
• Comfort-Optimized Strap – The included strap is uniquely designed to maximize comfort during prolonged wear. Whether worn over a wetsuit or paired with everyday attire, it delivers a secure and ergonomic fit. The design prioritizes ease of use and long-term wearability, adapting seamlessly to different activities and conditions.
• Heritage-Inspired Design – Every detail of the Ocean Star Tribute reflects a thoughtful nod to 1960s diving watches. From the classic dial layout and luminous hour markers to the functional unidirectional rotating bezel, the watch captures the spirit of vintage dive timepieces while incorporating modern refinements for improved legibility and usability.
