MIDO Ocean Star GMT – Swiss Automatic Watch for Men – 44mm

Product Overview

The MIDO Ocean Star GMT is a Swiss automatic watch crafted for men who demand precision, resilience, and enduring style. With a robust 44mm stainless steel case and a functional unidirectional rotating bezel, this timepiece merges professional-grade performance with refined aesthetics. Designed for those who navigate multiple time zones—whether crossing oceans or time zones—the GMT function allows seamless tracking of a second time zone, making it an ideal companion for frequent travelers, pilots, maritime professionals, or remote workers coordinating across continents. As part of the Swatch Group and manufactured in Le Locle, Switzerland—a historic epicenter of horological excellence—this watch reflects over a century of MIDO’s dedication to innovation, craftsmanship, and accessible luxury. At its core lies a COSC-certified Swiss automatic movement, ensuring chronometer-level accuracy, while advanced anti-magnetic technology safeguards performance in environments with electronic interference. The result is a watch that doesn’t just tell time—it measures it with Swiss precision.

Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement: Powered by a high-performance Swiss automatic caliber, the watch winds itself through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. This movement is COSC-certified (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), meaning it has undergone rigorous testing for accuracy and consistency under various conditions, guaranteeing chronometer-grade precision.
• GMT Functionality: The GMT complication enables the wearer to track a second time zone via an additional 24-hour hand. This feature is invaluable for international travelers or professionals managing schedules across global markets, offering clarity and convenience without compromising the watch’s clean dial layout.
• 44mm Stainless Steel Case: The substantial yet wearable case diameter provides a bold, confident presence on the wrist while maintaining balance and comfort for extended daily wear. Its 13.3mm thickness contributes to a solid, substantial feel without overwhelming the wrist.
• Rotating Bezel: The unidirectional rotating bezel is designed for practical use, particularly in diving or timing activities. It allows precise measurement of elapsed time, enhancing safety and functionality during underwater excursions or timed tasks.
• 80-Hour Power Reserve: With an impressive 80-hour power reserve, the watch continues running for more than three full days without being worn. This extended autonomy reduces the need for frequent rewinding or resetting, ideal for those who rotate multiple watches.
• Date Calendar Function: A discreet date display at the 3 o’clock position adds everyday utility, helping you stay organized without disrupting the dial’s elegant symmetry.
• Superior Water Resistance: Rated for 660 feet (200 meters), the watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving. A screw-down crown further enhances water resistance by sealing the case against moisture and pressure.
• Anti-Magnetic Performance: Engineered to resist magnetic fields commonly encountered near electronics, appliances, or medical equipment, the movement maintains accuracy and reliability in modern environments where magnetic interference can disrupt timekeeping.
