In
2020,
MIDO made history. The brand, a pioneer in water resistance since the
1930s, reissued the famous
Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch from
1961. This watch, extremely popular with divers at the time, made it easy to read decompression stops, thanks to a multicoloured table that quickly became legendary.
The
1961 Ocean Star Decompression Timer has been reinterpreted using top-quality materials and cutting-edge technologies, and has remained faithful to its unique original aesthetic, being successfully renewed over several editions in
2020, 2021 and 2023.

This sporty model continues to assert its strong historical codes linked to the underwater world: multicoloured table, unidirectional rotating bezel, "glassbox" style sapphire crystal reminiscent of the old Plexiglas, and a size of
40.5 mm – a modest diameter, just like in the old days.

The Caliber 80, an exceptionally reliable mechanism, can count on an enviable power reserve of up to 80 hours and a high-tech Nivachron™ balance spring. The back is engraved with the symbol of the
Ocean Star collection, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary: the starfish, a reminder of
MIDO's expertise in water resistance.

Three interchangeable bracelets – shiny black Milanese mesh steel, leather, and rubber – each add a different touch to the model. The cutting-edge performance and vintage appeal echo the spirit of the exhilarating dives of the sixties.
Black and colour
Inspirational and multicoloured, the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 will brighten up any wrist with its seductive allure. On the black background of the dial, MIDO deploys the vivid shades of the decompression scale on the original model – a nod intended not to replace modern diving instruments, but to perpetuate the captivating aesthetics of yesteryear.

Yellow, green, pink and blue, a table with coloured circles indicates the recommended stops. The characteristic unidirectional rotating bezel with aluminium ring counts down the elapsed time, thanks to a generous luminescent dot that serves as a marker. On a watch like this, legibility is crucial, whether in the sunshine or in the depths.

Super-LumiNova® is used for the diamond-cut and faceted hour and minute hands and the polished indexes. A detail exuding powerful historical charm, the vintage
MIDO logo is a polished applique on the black dial, and engraved on the back, crown and bracelet clasps. A “glassbox” style crystal offers effective protection for the dial and reinforces the vintage look of the
Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961.

MIDO has completely polished the case of the
Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961, which is crafted from solid stainless steel. A black PVD treatment gives it an intense shine.
