Mido Redesigns Ocean Star 200 as a Modern Tool Watch
Mido has refreshed its Ocean Star 200 collection with a sharper tool‑watch aesthetic while retaining the classic 200 m water resistance and the reliable Calibre 80 automatic movement. The new 41 mm case is slightly smaller than its predecessor, featuring a satin‑brushed and polished stainless‑steel construction, an aluminium‑insert bezel with a luminous pip, and rectangular hour‑marker indexes. Available in blue, white, silver and black dials, the models showcase a grained surface, sand‑blasted minute flange and white Super‑LumiNova‑filled hands, while the day‑date window remains at 3 o’clock and orange accents highlight the seconds hand tip and calibre branding. The collection offers a stainless‑steel bracelet with polished centre links, a folding clasp with diving extension and Mido’s quick‑change system, plus a black‑rubber strap option for the black‑dial version. Pricing is set at CHF 800 for the bracelet models and CHF 770 for the rubber‑strap model, positioning the Ocean Star 200 as a modern, affordable dive watch that blends robust construction with contemporary design cues.
