Mido Ocean Star Owner Review : Sober, efficient and different

The Mido Ocean Star is a diver's watch with a rather sober but also modern design that has its own charm. With its rectangular indexes instead of the more common circles and its atypical hands, it stands out from the majority of divers on the market. The brand being part of the Swatch group, the movement that equips it is the caliber 80 (for 80 hours of power reserve), derived from the ETA 2836-2, it proves to be very precise on a daily basis. The day and date windows are rather discreet because with a black background just like the dial. Its diameter is 42mm, it would have been better I think to start on 40mm, indeed, the 49mm horn to horn and a straight profile caseband can lead to a perception of a rather imposing watch for smaller wrists. I have the version on black rubber which has an adjustable folding clasp. The only drawback related to this, a buckle that is wider. In summary, a well-finished diver, at a fair price and which stands out for its different design.
