Ocean Star 200C Titanium M042.430.44.051.00 Watch

The Watch

Mido is a fine watchmaking brand whose philosophy blends aesthetics, authenticity, and functionality. Its timepieces feature clean, refined lines that speak to their timelessness. Today, the brand proudly presents the Ocean Star 200C Titanium M042.430.44.051.00 - a round case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 12.3 mm thick. What truly sets this watch apart is its case material: entirely crafted in brushed titanium. Titanium brings two key advantages - it's ultra-lightweight (you'll barely feel it on your wrist) and incredibly resistant to shocks and scratches. It's paired with a highly robust sapphire crystal for added quality and refinement. The unidirectional rotating bezel lets you measure elapsed time via its 60-minute scale. At 3 o'clock, a screwed crown allows you to set the time, date, and day - knurled for a perfect grip. The caseback is secured by 5 screws and engraved with a starfish, a subtle nod to the watch's oceanic universe. Water resistance reaches 20 atmospheres.

The Dial

In keeping with the collection's spirit, Mido presents a round dial adorned with patterns evoking the ocean waves. The black background hosts large rounded indices. These white hour markers are complemented by a discreet minute track around the dial's perimeter. At the center, two semi-skeleton hands in white and silver sweep the hours and minutes, while a seconds hand tracks the seconds. A double date window sits at 3 o'clock. To ensure optimal legibility in the dark, both the indices and hands feature Superluminova luminescent coating.

The Movement

A Swiss automatic movement beats at the heart of this watch. The ETA caliber 80 COSC stands out for its reliability and high performance, driving all 3 hands as well as the date window - for precise reading of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Its power reserve is 80 hours.

The Bracelet

This superb timepiece is fitted with a titanium bracelet, sharing the same technical properties as the case - delivering both lightness and durability. A folding clasp ensures optimal wearing comfort. And since this is a true dive watch, the bracelet includes a wetsuit extension, so you can wear it right over your diving suit!

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a watch built for serious depth! Designed for freediving, it handles high-pressure cleaners without breaking a sweat. Showers, baths, lap swimming, and freediving are all fair game. For scuba diving with tanks, however, we recommend a timepiece with a higher water resistance rating. Also, remember not to operate the crown or pushers while submerged to protect the movement's integrity.
