Mido unveils a refreshed Ocean Star Worldtimer just in time for the peak of the travel season, offering a stylish and functional companion for summer trips around the world.
Inspired by a vintage Mido from the 1970s, the watch blends cool retro aesthetics with contemporary engineering. Enhanced by a velvety silver finish, the distinctive dial with a bold black and red checkered pattern is framed by a black, unidirectional world time bezel marked with 24 city names. White Super-LumiNova applied to the central groove of the hour and minute hands, the tip of the second hand and the dots on the hour markers ensures legibility even in the darkest conditions. A double window at 3 o’clock displays the day of the week and the date, an essential piece of information for globetrotters.

Ocean Star Woldtimer, perfect for travel
The Ocean Star Worldtimer is also perfectly suited for travelers thanks to its 200-meter water resistance, making it ready for adventures both above and below the surface. Mido’s reputation in this area is deeply rooted in the brand’s DNA. Since 1944, the Ocean Star line has embodied its engineering prowess in creating robust and pressure-resistant watches.
Its innovative Aquadura crown sealing system, introduced as early as 1930, set industry standards and earned Mido the nickname “King of Waterproof Watches” in the 1980s. This heritage lives on in the Ocean Star Worldtimer, which is pressure-resistant up to 20 bar. The 40.5mm stainless steel case with alternating polished and satin surfaces is built for strength. A screw-down back cover, adorned with Ocean Star’s signature starfish emblem, reinforces the model’s maritime heritage while ensuring structural integrity under pressure.
Caliber 80
At the heart of the Ocean Star Worldtimer watch beats the Calibre 80, the Swatch Group’s high-performance automatic movement. Offering a power reserve of up to 80 hours, it is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring – a state-of-the-art material renowned for its resistance to magnetic fields and physical shocks. Although hidden under the case cover, the mechanism is finely finished with Geneva stripes and bears the engraved Mido logo, a detail that reflects the brand’s commitment to refinement even in the unseen components.
The look is completed by a black leather strap in the “Bund” style – an allusion to classic pilot’s watches. This two-piece construction allows the wearer to switch between a minimalist leather strap with red stitching or a full “Bund” configuration with a leather base lined with white contrast stitching. The price is $1,700.
