MIDO dresses the Ocean Star Worldtimer in retro style and invites wearers to adventure. Its standout qualities? Lashings of vintage charm inspired by a 1970s MIDO model — showcased through a bold red-and-black chequered dial and vintage MIDO logo — high-precision mechanics, and water-resistance up to 200 metres, a true signature of the Ocean Star collection. Its explorer’s soul, defined by unshakeable reliability, is enriched with sublime historic details.

Since 1944, the Ocean Star collection has epitomised MIDO’s legendary expertise in water resistance. In 1930, the brand was a pioneer with its Aquadura system and was then dubbed the “King of Waterproof Watches” in the 1980s. This expertise is unmistakable here: the Ocean Star Worldtimer can withstand the most extreme pressures up to 200 m (20 bars / 660 ft)  whilst ensuring optimum readability. This watch, which is part of the contemporary Ocean Star collection, combines a tradition of excellence with practical features and old-school charm. Silver-toned dial with “velour” finish, enhanced by black and red chequering to mark the time intervals and a vintage MIDO logo. “Glassbox” style sapphire crystal. Just a few of the nods to the vintage seventies aesthetic. Its state-of-the-art technology gives it the endurance to withstand any test: Super-LumiNova^® to facilitate reading at night; satin-finished and polished stainless steel case. Its screw-on case back features the collection’s signature starfish. At its heart beats the Caliber 80, with formidable precision ensured by its Nivachron™ balance spring and power reserve of up to 80 hours – the perfect companion for modern-day explorers.

Ready to rise to any challenge

Designed for exploration, the Ocean Star Worldtimer features a striking seventies-style chequered dial. Its black unidirectional rotating bezel marked with the names of GMT cities is an invitation to travel to the four corners of the globe. With white Super-LumiNova^® in the centre groove of the hour and minute hands, on the tip of the second hand, and on the dots on the indexes, the time can be read at a glance, even in the darkest conditions. The day and date display in a double window at 3 o’clock provides precious information for globetrotters. The “glassbox” type sapphire crystal, with anti-reflective treatment on both sides, ensures optimum readability.

Paired with a “Bund”-style black leather strap, in tribute to the pilots of days gone by, this Ocean Star Worldtimer is surprisingly versatile. This two-part strap gives the wearer a number of different options: the plain strap, in black leather with red stitching, and a sportier option featuring a lining sewn with white thread. 

The excellence of the Caliber 80

At the heart of this model beats the Caliber 80, the latest-generation Swiss automatic movement, renowned for its robustness and reliability. Equipped with a high tech Nivachron™ balance spring, it offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours and exceptional resistance to both shocks and magnetism. Although concealed by the screw-on case back, it is decorated with Côtes de Genève and engraved with the MIDO logo, marrying cutting-edge technology with refined finishes.

With a chequered dial radiating vintage charm, and a bezel fit for the boldest traveller, the new Ocean Star Worldtimer is an invitation to explore, inspired by the adventurers of the seventies.
