For decades, the Ocean Star collection has stood at the core of MIDO’s sports-watch heritage. Conceived as a robust, water-resistant line built for reliability at sea, the Ocean Star has evolved steadily over the years while remaining faithful to its founding promise - dependable Swiss performance in demanding conditions. The Ocean Star 200C continues this lineage, reinterpreting the classic diver through contemporary materials and refined detailing, without compromising its professional credentials.
The Ocean Star 200C makes an immediate visual statement. A deep black dial is framed by a vivid red bezel, a colour pairing inspired by the fleeting drama of a tropical sunset. The contrast is bold yet disciplined, injecting character while preserving the clarity essential to a functional dive watch. Applied hour markers, broad hands and generous Super-LumiNova ensure excellent legibility in low-light conditions, whether underwater or during everyday wear. Housed in a robust stainless-steel case measuring approximately 42.5 mm in diameter, the Ocean Star 200C strikes a confident balance between presence and wearability. A screw-down crown and case back reinforce its water-resistant construction, rated to 200 metres, meeting the defining benchmark of the Ocean Star family and aligning with ISO dive-watch standards. A unidirectional rotating bezel supports precise dive-time measurement, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment enhances durability and visibility.
Powering the watch is MIDO’s Caliber 80 automatic movement, a proven engine known for reliability and efficiency. Offering an extended power reserve of up to 80 hours, the movement allows the watch to run through an entire weekend off the wrist without interruption - an increasingly valued feature for modern wearers. The Caliber 80 underlines the Ocean Star 200C’s positioning as a dependable companion, equally suited to active use and daily life.
The Ocean Star 200C is offered with a choice of sporty strap or stainless-steel bracelet, both designed for comfort, security and versatility. This flexibility allows the watch to transition effortlessly from open water to urban settings, maintaining a refined yet purposeful character.
What we think -
The Ocean Star 200C stands out for marrying expressive colour with proven mechanics. It represents a confident evolution of a trusted dive-watch icon and a clear expression of MIDO’s philosophy - enduring quality, technical excellence and timeless design, crafted for those ready to conquer the ocean and beyond.
