Mido Automatic Diving Watch Ocean Star GMT Dark Blue M026.629.17.051.00

Product Information

Dare I say the Mido offers more here, with a 0-60 uni-directional bezel to add a further complication of minute timing.

Both the caseback (note the engraving that shows all the time zones in the world, a nice touch) and the crown are screwed down to ensure that it is watertight to 200 metres. On the back of the sporty Swiss watch - fitted with the Caliber 80 automatic movement , which offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours - MIDO has engraved the time-zone indications. Right up to the point where you rub together your thumb and index finger before releasing the crown to set the watch.thick, and sports a sapphire crystal, a rotating 24-hour ceramic bezel, and 200 meters of water resistance. At present, the brand draws its inspiration from the world’s most famous architectural masterpieces. These striking orange numerals are often associated with Mido and reflect the vibrant collections released by this Swiss watchmaker. What characterises the Ocean Star GMT Black is its black rehaut with prominent orange GMT indications that display a second time zone. The Mido user's manual give information about the use, the settings and the maintenance of the different Mido watches.

Not only is this done while preserving the home time indication (shown via a red 24-hour hand), but the precision of the timekeeping is not affected as the movement does not need to be halted to adjust the local hour hand. They afford excellent readability in a range of conditions while perfectly complementing the watches' elegant design.It operates at a frequency of 21,600 semi-frequencies per hour, has 25 jewels and, most importantly, an extended power reserve of 80 hours. So it was with some trepidation that I sat down to properly compare the two, as the BB GMT is a favourite of mine. Some people even refer to it as a “true” GMT movement, but I think it is unhelpful as it adds a layer of unwarranted snobbery to the argument. For this, you pull the crown to the third position and turn the entire set of hands that are interlocked until the GMT hand is where you want it to be.
