The Ocean Star Caliber 80’s dial offers indexes filled with Super-Luminova and skeletonised hands. The indexes at 6 O’clock and 12 O’clock feature two points for easier readability in the water. This timepiece is water resistant up to 20 bar, with the case shape providing extra protection for the screw down crown. The screw down case back is engraved with the Ocean Star logo. Furthermore, the housed automatic movement has an autonomy of up to 80 hours.

CALIBER 80

The Caliber 80 from Mido is a next-generation automatic watch movement which offers up to 80 hours of power reserve, twice as much as a regular calibre. It is also available as a chronometer that has been officially certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) for its superior accuracy.

The all-blue wit the SS is so eye catching. Gotta love the Star Fish CB design.
 
This watch is fantastic and it's a genuine alternative to some of the higher price brands with very little sacrifice of quality fit and finish
 
Very handsome, and with some impressive statistics. Thanks Mike.:cheers:
 
Would be helpful to give prices here. Not make go check them out. I did check on a particular
model and was no where to be found on there site.

This exact model is on Amazon for $925 they also have a previous model that utilizes if I'm not mistaken and ETA 2836 that is available at a lower price the case should be virtually the same and the movement is still very good

The two I own are probably two of my favorite pieces . The fit and finish are just fantastic and they're super comfortable and well made. I know you can get many micro brands for less money than this but I think dollar-for-dollar it's one of the finest Swiss timepieces you can buy. I'll post up mine the next couple of days in the watch of the day.
 
I've said it before, Mido is a wonderful Swiss brand and under appreciated. I very much enjoy mine... Mido "All Dial" Swiss Automatic Diver - Automatic Swiss ETA Cal. 2836-2 - Model . M8370.4.55.11
