Mido Ocean Star GMT 2-Tone Ref. M026.629.22.051.00

Beautiful inside and out, this timepiece flaunts a finely decorated Elaboré-grade automatic movement known as the Mido Caliber 80 (ETA C07.661 base), which has an impressive power reserve of 80 hours. This phenomenal movement crafted by Mido allows the crown of this watch to set the primary hour hand instead of the GMT hand with one-hour increments, usually seen in "purist" GMT watches and highly regarded by most watch enthusiasts. Furthermore, this movement is crafted with 25 jewels and operates at 21,600 BPH (3 Hertz). If you ever catch a glimpse into the heart of this dive watch, you would be amazed at the great amount of details put into the making of this movement, down to its oscillating weight decorated with Geneva stripes and Mido’s logo.

The Ocean Star GMT Rose Gold measures 44mm, height of 13.28mm, and has a lug to lug length of 22mm. Made from 316L stainless steel with addition of the PVD rose gold accent, used exclusively by this Swiss brand, its case shows off a sleek brilliance with touches of elegant. This case material not only resists corrosion, it also boasts excellent durability and is non-magnetic. Marvel at the contrast of the satin-brushed sides of its case with its polished top surface that bestows this timepiece with a sporty masculinity look.

Calibre 80 – Based on the ETA C07.661

Admire the intricate time zone engravings on the case back and unique serial number that sets each watch apart. In addition to its screw-down case back, the Ocean Star GMT Rose Gold is built with a screw-down rose gold signed crown which allows for a water resistance of 200m. This dive watch is protected with a flat sapphire crystal which has anti-reflective treatment on both sides that not only offers great legibility under any lighting conditions but also complements the timepiece’s elegant design. Strong and shock-resistant, this crystal will maintain its exceptional transparency for many years.

The dial of this timepiece is a classic matte black featuring applied indexes with rose gold metal trimmings. What characterises the Ocean Star GMT Rose Gold is its black rehaut with clear GMT indications of a second time zone.

316L stainless steel case shows off a sleek brilliance

To allow for enhanced readability of this watch’s dual time display, this Swiss watchmaker has differentiated its handset according to their functions. This diver flaunts diamond-cut rose gold hour, minute, seconds hands and a matching 24-hour GMT hand with rose gold accents, which indicates the time in a second time zone by pointing to the hour-circle (24-hour format) on the flange of its dial. Filled with white Super-LumiNova that glows bluish-green in the dark, the handset and indexes of this timepiece allow for legible time displays in the dark. The colour of its dial is further complemented with a black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel with rose gold markers which enables the tracking of elapsed time. Moreover, the fluting on this rose gold bezel makes it easier to operate and with the ceramic insert incredibly resistant to scratches as well as wear and tear.

This remarkable dive watch comes on a stainless steel bracelet that extends from its case to form a single perfect piece that completes its sleek look flawlessly. This metal bracelet has rose gold middle links that matches flawlessly with the overall colourway of this timepiece. The Ocean Star GMT Rose Gold is also fitted with a Mido signed clasp finished with a shiny full polish.

SuperLuminova for Superb Glow In Dark

Just as how the Europa Point Lighthouse has unfailingly watched over the Gibraltar Strait since 1841, guiding sailors on the often-rough waters between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the Ocean Star GMT Rose Gold watches over you and is your perfect ally for all kinds of adventures.
