The MIDO Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer M026.829.17.041.00 combines eye-catching vintage styling with modern Swiss watchmaking, taking inspiration from MIDO’s celebrated dive watches of the 1960s. Its 40.5mm stainless steel case frames a striking blue dial featuring a colourful decompression scale, creating a distinctive look that stands out from traditional dive watches. The bidirectional rotating bezel incorporates world-time markings, while luminous hands and hour markers enhance visibility in low-light conditions. A glassbox-style sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the underside adds a refined retro touch while providing excellent scratch resistance, and the screw-down crown helps ensure reliable water resistance.
At the heart of this Ocean Star is the MIDO Calibre 80 automatic movement, delivering an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours. The watch offers hours, minutes and seconds, a date display and a GMT function, allowing a second time zone to be tracked using the additional 24-hour hand and world-time bezel. A Nivachron™ balance spring helps improve resistance to magnetic fields, while the robust stainless steel case and screw-down case back provide water resistance to 200 metres (20 bar). The model is supplied with a blue rubber strap for comfortable everyday wear, alongside an additional stainless steel Milanese mesh strap, offering two distinct looks to suit different occasions.
