Drawing on the aesthetic codes of the 1960s, this version feels more contemporary, more technical, and more beautiful than ever.

Crafted from stainless steel with a polished finish that enhances its beautiful silver tone, it measures 37 mm in diameter - a size that works equally well on men's and women's wrists. For comfortable, all-occasion wear, a slim hidden crown bearing the brand name is positioned at 3 o'clock. Its knurled design allows you to adjust the hands and date window at any time. The dial is protected by an acrylic crystal hot-stamped with the Mido logo, adding a vintage note to the whole. Perfect for everyday wear, this beautiful watch is water-resistant to 50 meters.

The Dial

With its guilloché finish and striking turquoise color, this captivating dial is guaranteed to draw every eye to your wrist and add a note of timeless elegance. Its clean backdrop - evoking the crystal-clear waters of tropical lagoons - features a sunray effect for added charm, while keeping the time easy to read in any light. Two diamond-set baton hands in gray glide above it, the shorter one signed Mido. They display hours and minutes even in low light, thanks to their SuperLuminova coating. A slim seconds hand completes the trio. The outer ring features twelve applied baton-shaped hour markers to help you quickly locate the hours. Filled with black lacquer and punctuated with SuperLuminova dots for optimal time visibility. A date window with a white background sits at 3 o'clock. With two windows, it displays the date in black Arabic numerals and the day in English. Bearing the "Swiss Made" label, the dial features the collection name at 6 o'clock while the brand name appears near 12, serving as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement - specifically the Mido Caliber 80. This Swiss-made, next-generation movement is renowned for its exceptional performance and quality. Equipped with an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring, it drives the hands and date display with fluid precision, ensuring reliable timekeeping, date, and day functions. Its rotor, decorated with a Côtes de Genève finish, is personalized with the Mido logo. Delivering an 80-hour power reserve, this movement features 25 jewels and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, or 3 Hz.

The Bracelet

To complement the watch's refined look, Mido chose a sleek integrated bracelet in Milanese mesh. It wraps your wrist with elegance and precision, ensuring all-day comfort. Crafted from stainless steel for lasting durability, its polished finish gives it a brilliant, eye-catching shine. Effortlessly versatile, it's the timeless modern touch that elevates any outfit. The sliding clasp makes adjustment easy while keeping a secure fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Designed to turn heads, it's a watch built for elegance - yet tough enough to handle the elements. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and diving, however, are not recommended - water damage and repair costs are best avoided.
