MIDO OCEAN STAR GMT: SWISS PRECISION, MARINE SPIRIT, AND DUAL FUNCTIONALITY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY TRAVELER

MIDO OCEAN STAR GMT: SWISS PRECISION, MARINE SPIRIT, AND DUAL FUNCTIONALITY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY TRAVELER

The Mido Ocean Star GMT M026.629.17.051.01 is one of the most versatile and functional interpretations within the dive watch collection of the Swiss brand Mido. Designed for those who move between the ocean and a constantly active lifestyle, this model combines extreme durability, automatic precision, and a GMT complication tailored for modern travelers.

Robust design with an ocean identity

With a 44 mm stainless steel case, this Ocean Star maintains a strong wrist presence without sacrificing visual balance. Its ceramic bezel enhances scratch resistance, while the sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating ensures optimal legibility even under demanding light conditions.

The watch is clearly engineered as a high-performance instrument, featuring a screw-down crown and water resistance up to 20 bar (200 meters), making it suitable for both recreational diving and challenging aquatic environments.

GMT function: two time zones in one watch

One of the key highlights of this model is its GMT function, which allows simultaneous reading of two time zones: local time and home time.

This makes it especially useful for frequent travelers, international professionals, or athletes constantly moving across regions.

Additionally, Mido has integrated a practical solution on the case back, where time zone indications are engraved, making the complication more intuitive to use.

Caliber 80 automatic movement

Inside ticks the well-known Caliber 80 automatic movement, based on ETA technology, one of the most reliable standards in modern Swiss watchmaking.

It offers an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, allowing the watch to remain unworn for several days without needing adjustment. This is a key advantage for users who rotate between multiple watches or have irregular wearing habits.

Dial and legibility

The black dial of the Ocean Star GMT reinforces its technical and sporty character. Applied indices and hands are designed to ensure clear readability in all conditions, which is essential for a watch intended for marine use and adventure.

The overall aesthetic strikes a balance between functionality and elegance, avoiding unnecessary visual complexity and prioritizing clarity.

Strap and comfort

The model comes with a textile strap with synthetic backing (reference M604019861), offering comfort, durability, and adaptability. The pin buckle ensures a secure fit even during intense movement.

With a weight of approximately 125 grams, the watch feels solid yet comfortable for everyday wear.

A watch designed for freedom

The Mido Ocean Star GMT is not just a dive watch. It is a tool designed for those who require precision across different environments: underwater, during international travel, or in daily life.

Its combination of robustness, autonomy, and GMT functionality positions it as a highly practical option within the Swiss automatic sports watch segment.

The Mido Ocean Star GMT represents a logical evolution in adventure watchmaking: more than resistance, it offers versatility; more than design, it delivers real utility.

It is a timepiece that adapts both to the marine environment and to the global rhythm of the modern wearer, always maintaining the quality and precision signature of Mido.
