Mido’s Ocean Star line has always leaned into the practical side of the dive watch, but this latest Ocean Star 39 brings a more relaxed coastal character to the formula.
The new variation centres on a textured blue dial with a wave-like pattern, giving the 39 mm diver a lighter, more summery personality without softening its functional credentials.
It’s still a proper everyday sports watch, just one with a clearer sense of escape.
At a glance
- Mido has introduced a blue-dial version of the Ocean Star 39 with a textured wave pattern.
- The watch measures 39 mm across and 10.5 mm thick, with 200 metres of water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel.
- It runs on the automatic Caliber 72 with a Nivachron™ balance spring and a three-day power reserve.
A compact Ocean Star with a more vivid dial
The headline detail is the dial, which uses an undulating surface to catch the light in a way that shifts between pale lagoon blue and deeper ocean tones.
It’s an expressive choice for a watch that remains otherwise straightforward, and that restraint works in its favour.
At 39 mm in diameter and 10.5 mm thick, the Ocean Star 39 sits in the increasingly appealing sweet spot for buyers who want a capable diver without oversized proportions.
The case is paired with a graduated unidirectional rotating bezel, the essential tool-watch element for tracking elapsed time underwater or on land.
Dive-watch clarity backed by Caliber 72
Mido keeps legibility central to the design, using white Super-LumiNova® across the time indications so the dial remains readable in low light.
That contrast between the bright luminous elements and the textured blue background gives the watch its strongest visual rhythm.
Inside is the self-winding Caliber 72, a movement that delivers a three-day power reserve.
It’s fitted with a Nivachron™ balance spring, a useful modern detail designed to help reduce sensitivity to magnetic fields.
The movement is also set in four positions, underscoring Mido’s focus on everyday reliability rather than decorative complication.
Bracelet polish or rubber-strap ease
The Ocean Star 39 can be worn on a metal link bracelet, which gives the watch a more polished sport-watch feel.
For a more casual setup, Mido also offers an optional rubber wraparound in a matching blue tone.
That flexibility is well judged, as the same watch can move from a summer shirt and swimwear to a sharper weekend wardrobe without feeling out of place.
