Ocean Star 39 Watch M0269073705100

The Watch

Mido is a Swiss watch brand born in Switzerland. With remarkable expertise, it crafts highly capable timepieces built to keep up with your adventures - on land or at sea. From classic models to advanced professional dive watches, the Swiss brand continually pushes its limits to offer total everyday freedom. Today, it invites you to discover the reissue of the Ocean Star M026.907.37.051.00 Watch, designed to adorn men's wrists. This collection made history for Mido in 1959, introducing the monocoque case that eliminated water resistance issues, later combined with the Aquadura system and its cork crown gasket to make the brand's watches even more resilient in the toughest conditions. It features a round case crafted in stainless steel with a black PVD coating for a bold, commanding look. The case measures 39 mm in diameter and 10.50 mm in thickness, weighing 81 g. It sports a round bezel with a graduation and a luminescent marker at 12 o'clock. Rotating, the bezel frames a sapphire crystal protecting the dial from shocks, with an anti-reflective coating for effortless reading. At 3 o'clock, a black notched crown ensures a secure grip for adjusting the central indicators. The whole is sealed by a case back providing water resistance of 20 ATM.

The Dial

This beautiful dial brings a captivating character to this model. Round in shape, it features a black background lifted by wave motifs for a truly striking look. The perimeter reveals the minute track followed by geometric indices serving as hour markers. These are coated with an orange luminescent treatment for improved readability in low-light conditions - a feature shared by the grey hands at the center. These hands sweep the dial with precision: a slender seconds hand counts the elapsed seconds, a long hand points to the minutes, and a short hand indicates the hours. A date window sits at 3 o'clock for added functionality. Near 6 o'clock, the country of manufacture is noted, while above it the collection name and caliber are indicated. Finally, the brand signs the dial with its name and movement type beneath the inverted triangle at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss-made automatic movement - specifically the in-house Mido Caliber 72.111 on a base ETA A31.111 - driving the hands and date display with precision. Reliable and robust, it oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, features 21 jewels to minimize friction, and delivers a power reserve of 72 hours.

The Bracelet

This sleek bracelet adorns your wrist beautifully. Black in color and crafted entirely from silicone, it's durable, comfortable, and lightweight. Its textured lines add a refined touch, making it suitable for any activity - physical or sporty. Interchangeable, it measures 20 mm in width and fastens with a pin buckle for easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres, equivalent to 200 meters, this watch is what you'd confidently call a dive watch. Our watchmaking experts agree: it's more than up to the challenge of showers, baths, lap swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba - but it's not built for extreme deep-sea diving where pressure would overcome its seals. For professional divers chasing serious depths, we recommend looking at models rated 30 atmospheres and above. Also, avoid operating the pushers or crown while in the water to maintain a perfect seal!
