obust and readable in all circumstances, the Ocean Star GMT pays tribute to Mido’s rich expertise. A historic reference in the field of water resistance, the brand has mastered these codes for almost a century. In 1934, it introduced the innovative Aquadura system, and in the 1980s earned itself the memorable title “King of Waterproof Watches”.

The Ocean Star GMT, queen of the oceans, combines outstanding water resistance with the display of two time zones. Among its key strengths: information can be read in any situation, thanks to simple and contrasting colour indications. Black and white, but also orange for the second time zone hand.

White Super-LumiNova^® – judiciously applied to the hands, the indexes, but also to the reference point of the unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel – displays the time even in the dark. Resistance and reliability remain key terms – from the stainless-steel case, engraved on the back with the world’s 24 time zones, to the mechanical heart.

The Caliber 80, equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring, is notable for its excellent performance even when exposed to magnetism and shocks. A call to travel, inspired by the spirit of adventure.

When travelling, every second is precious. The Ocean Star GMT is all about clear, structured information. The velvety black dial features applied indexes, generously coated with white Super-LumiNova^®, like the hour and minute hands. The large seconds hand is distinguished by an orange varnished tip, a signature that is both visual and functional.

The GMT hand, also orange, indicates the second time zone on a 24-hour flange in black for “night” hours and white for “day” hours. When the light starts to fade, luminescence takes over on all the hands, ensuring optimal visibility. A discreet date aperture is located at 3 o’clock. The sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, enhances readability.

The Ocean Star GMT performs flawlessly in any climate. Its black ceramic unidirectional bezel enables precise timing of elapsed time, while its characteristic grooves ensure easy handling, even in water. A screw-down crown and screw-on case back guarantee water resistance up to 20 bar (200 m/660 ft), making it a reliable companion in any environment.

The black textile strap with two white stitched seams reinforces the sporty and functional aesthetic of the Ocean Star GMT. Its quick-change system is a major advantage, allowing you to vary the look of the watch to match the pace of your movements.

Powered by the automatic Caliber 80, the Ocean Star GMT can rely on the unparalleled resistance of its Nivachron™ balance spring to magnetic fields and shocks. The reliability of the movement also benefits from a power reserve of up to 80 hours. Even hidden by the steel case back, engraved with the 24 time zones, the oscillating weight is decorated with Côtes de Genève and marked with the Mido logo – evidence of the care taken with the finishes.
