Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement (Caliber 80) – At the heart of the Ocean Star Tribute lies the Caliber 80 automatic movement, a testament to Swiss precision engineering. This movement provides an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, meaning the watch continues to keep accurate time even if it’s not worn for two to three days. This feature is especially convenient for those who rotate between multiple watches or travel frequently, eliminating the need for constant resetting.
• 40.5mm Stainless Steel Case – The case is meticulously crafted from durable stainless steel, offering a balanced 40.5mm diameter that suits a wide range of wrist sizes. Its combination of polished and brushed finishes enhances the watch’s visual depth, catching light in a way that highlights its refined craftsmanship. The size strikes a perfect middle ground—substantial enough to feel premium, yet not oversized, ensuring all-day comfort.
• Water Resistance up to 20 Bar (200m / 656 ft) – Engineered to meet the demands of water-based activities, this 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 other surface water sports. While not intended for professional diving, it exceeds the requirements for recreational aquatic use, offering confidence and reliability in wet environments.
• Heritage-Inspired Design – The Ocean Star Tribute pays subtle homage to the diving watches of the 1960s, featuring design elements that echo the era’s functional elegance. The dial layout emphasizes legibility with clear markers and hands, while the overall silhouette remains true to the original Ocean Star spirit. Modern refinements ensure it meets today’s standards for durability and usability without compromising its nostalgic appeal.
• Comfort-Optimized Strap – The included strap is designed with wearer comfort in mind, providing a secure and pleasant fit throughout daily use. Its construction supports extended wear, whether you’re at work, traveling, or enjoying outdoor activities.
