Write a review

The Swiss have been highly regarded as the pinnacle of the watch industry with a rich history of producing watches of the highest quality standards. At the top of the food chain for luxury mechanical watches, it comes as no surprise that haute horlogerie watches command astronomical prices. However, not every Swiss timepiece has to break the bank. In particular, historic Swiss watch manufacturer Mido prides themselves to produce exceptional Swiss-made watches at a surprisingly affordable price point.

Mido Ocean Star 39 Gradient Black Ref. M026.907.11.061.00

For over more than 100 years, Mido has stood for watches that combined innovation, aesthetics and functionality since its beginnings. Founded by experienced watchmaker Georges Schaeren in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland back in 1918, the name "Mido" was derived from the Spanish phrase "Yo Mido", meaning "I measure". Today, Mido is based in the town of Le Locle, in the heart of the beautiful Swiss Jura Mountains. With the rise of scuba diving, Mido has invented numerous cutting-edge technological innovations such as the revolutionary single-shell case and their pioneering cork-crown "Aquadura" Crown Sealing system that became the foundation for their modern day dive watches.

The Mido Ocean Star is a collection of robust diving watches intended to serve as a reliable companion to those who want to conquer the ocean. While many of us would probably rock a dive watch for "desk diving" at the office instead of the ocean, Mido launched their latest iteration of the Ocean Star that combines functionality and an exceptionally appealing modern design inspired by architecture, looking as captivating on land as it would underwater.

M026.907.11.061.00 bears a solidly-built 316L stainless steel case construction, boasting superb durability and corrosion resistance that will stand the test of time. Naturally, dimensions play an essential role to find the right fit. Mido hits the dimensions right out the park with a case diameter of 39mm, a lug to lug distance of 46mm, a versatile size that many will definitely enjoy. 39mm, known as the most versatile sizing, has been highly anticipated size due to the wide array of women's and men's wrist it will go well with. Together with its impressive sleek case profile of 10mm, this is a proportionate piece that exhibits timeless elegance with just the right amount of wrist presence.

The Mido Ocean Star Gradient Black 39 Ref. M026.907.11.061.00 has a well executed finish all around with immaculate satin brushing on the top of the lugs, as well as on the side of the case. Finishing is rather simple, however it is done to the highest possible standards with attention to the finer details. A cleanly polished bevelled edge on the lugs completes the case with a smooth and refined appearance. The mix of brushed and polished surfaces is coherently carried down to the impressive 20mm stainless steel bracelet with a high polish centre link and brushed outer links, secured firmly on the wrist with a push button deployant clasp.

Intricate ripple patterns reminiscent of marine depths

The Mido Ocean Star Gradient Black 39 Ref. M026.907.11.061.00 brings a subtle stylish black dive bezel that looks incredible with it's prominent numeral markers. The bezel action feels smooth like butter while clicking confidently in place.

The applied indices and hands are treated generously with Super-Luminova that glows like a torch in dark lighting conditions. Above that, the dial is protected with a piece of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double sided anti-reflective coating, keeping the dial crystal clear for your enjoyment. Such a minimalistic design of a watch is then highlighted by a orange second hand which fits so seamlessly.

SuperLuminova for Superb Glow In Dark

At the core of the Mido Ocean Star Gradient Black 39 Ref. M026.907.11.061.00 lies the Mido Calibre 72.

Put the watch down on a Friday evening and it will still be running by Monday morning when you put it on again to head to the office. The iconic signature starfish screw down case back is featured, protecting the watch from the depths of the sea.

The Mido Ocean Star Gradient Black 39 Ref. M026.907.11.061.00 exhibits outstanding price-performance ratio with the introduction of a high quality steel bezel and an attractive dial design.
