Product Overview
The MIDO Ocean Star 200C is a Swiss automatic diving watch built for men who demand precision, durability, and style in a rugged timepiece. Designed for underwater exploration and everyday wear, it combines professional dive watch functionality with refined Swiss craftsmanship. At its core is a reliable automatic movement with an impressive 80-hour power reserve, ensuring consistent performance whether you’re on land or beneath the surface. The watch features a robust 42.5mm stainless steel case and a unidirectional rotating bezel crafted from high-performance ceramic—a material known for its scratch resistance and long-lasting clarity. With a water resistance rating of 20 bar, it’s engineered to handle depths well beyond recreational diving, making it a trustworthy companion for serious aquatic adventures. 
Key Features
- Ceramic Unidirectional Rotating Bezel – The bezel is made from advanced ceramic, offering exceptional resistance to scratches and fading. Its unidirectional rotation ensures accurate tracking of dive times, a critical safety feature for divers.
- Wave-Design Dial with Day and Date Calendar – The dial features a dynamic wave pattern that adds visual depth and character, while applied indexes coated with white Super-Luminova® provide excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The integrated day and date display offers practical functionality for daily wear.
- Swiss Automatic Movement with 80-Hour Power Reserve – Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, the watch delivers reliable timekeeping without the need for a battery. The extended 80-hour autonomy means it keeps running through long weekends and extended periods of non-wear.
- 20 Bar Water Resistance – Rated for depths up to 200 meters, this watch meets professional diving standards. The screw-down crown and reinforced case design enhance water resistance and protect internal components from moisture and pressure.
- Screw-Down Case Back with Ocean Star Engraving – The case back is securely screwed in place to maintain water integrity and is engraved with the distinctive Ocean Star logo, reflecting MIDO’s heritage in dive watch design.
- 42.5mm Stainless Steel Case – The case size strikes a balance between presence and wearability, suitable for most male wrists. The polished and brushed finishes add a touch of sophistication to its sporty profile.
