On the 200C, the click is dry and clear. No side play on the rotating ring. The ceramic insert is scratch-resistantperiod.
This is the standard of accessible luxury. We appreciate this robustness in the face of the aggressions of everyday urban life.
The movement absorbs everything. But a beautiful body is useless without a solid engine and here Mido brings out the heavy artillery.
Caliber 80
Based on ETA C07.611 (Powermatic 80). Offers 80 hours of power reserve and on certain versions a silicon hairspring to resist magnetism.
We're not talking about theory here. You put the watch on the nightstand on Friday evening. It is still running on Monday morning without any adjustment. Real comfort.
Most competitors stop at 40 hours. Mido doubles down with the ETA C07.611 base. This is a strong argument for this Ocean Star Review when we alternate the models. It's effective.
80 hours of power reserve at this price is unbeatable. You put it down on Friday, it's still running on Monday.
Silicon changes everything for precision. It ignores the magnetic fields that pollute our daily lives. It is cutting-edge technology that makes the much more robust and reliable movement on the wrist.
Purists sometimes complain about the absence of a classic racket. Adjusting this engine manually becomes an ordeal for the local watchmaker. This is the price of assumed industrial modernity. We gain in stability and we lose in tinkering.
To keep your collection on top, take a look at precision watch tools. Even if this caliber 80 requires skill, having the right equipment remains the basis for any serious enthusiast.
Having an indestructible movement is one thing, but it is still necessary that theobject does not become a burden on the wrist.
The Ocean Star 200 is 12.3 mm thick. It slips effortlessly under a shirt. It's a versatile diver for everyday use.
Watch out for the 600 version. With its 14.6 mm, it's a real anvil. A minimum wrist of 17 cm is required. Otherwise, it becomes a cumbersome dumbbell.
| Model | Thickness | Weight felt | Ideal use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ocean Star 200 | 12.3mm | Light | Office and daily life |
| Ocean Star 600 | 14.6mm | Heavy (anvil) | Professional diving |
The diving extension is a pure happiness. It can be adjusted in two seconds without tools. This is ideal for managing temperature variations.
THE clasp remains black dot. Its thickness makes it a scratch magnet in the office. It picks up traces in a week. It's a real desk diver.
Stop looking for the perfect watch, she doesn't exist.
Finally, once all these elements have been established, where is this really located? Mido in the jungle of divers?
Tissot Seastar
Honest entry-level, but finishes a notch below.
Mido Ocean Star
THE technical sweet spotprecision brushed housing and ISO standard.
Longines HydroConquest
Premium positioning, historical heritage and more expensive marketing.
The “waves” pattern is not just aesthetic. It effectively breaks up parasitic reflections on the dial. Readability in direct sunlight is excellent.
Shade on the Super-LumiNova Grade X. It does the job properly in the dark. However, don't expect a Breton lighthouse. We stay a notch below Seiko standards.
It's clean and functional. The whole remains coherent for a robust tool-watch.
Faced with a Longines HydroConquest, the Mido earns points. It offers a similar finish for a much lower price. Here we avoid the additional cost of massive marketing. It's a rational choice.
