The Swiss Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 Limited Edition M026.807.33.051.00 will win its owners over with its precise workmanship and distinctive diver design. It is a great companion not only in the water, but also in everyday wear. This model is based on the iconic Mido Powerwind Diver 1000 diving watch from 1961. This great piece was produced in a limited edition of 1961 pieces for the whole world.

The Mido M026.807.33.051.00 has a case made of 316L stainless steel with a black PVD finish, which is complemented by a steel mesh bracelet, also with a black PVD finish. An extra rubber and leather strap is also included. Both the straps and the metal clasp are equipped with a quick release, so they can be easily changed without tools. The Swiss mechanical movement Caliber 80 (based on ETA C07.621) with automatic winding ticks reliably in the case. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 semi-frequencies per hour, has 25 jewels and, above all, an extended power reserve of 80 hours. At the 3 o'clock position we find a practical date and day of the week display. The most striking feature on the dial is the decompression scale, which is used to determine the decompression time during diving. A unidirectional rotating diving lunette can be used to measure time periods.

The clear dial, dominated by the decompression scale, is protected by a sapphire crystal that guarantees maximum scratch resistance. The water resistance of this model is 200m (20 Bar), so it can easily handle water activities such as swimming or diving. The water resistance is supported by a screw-in crown.

This model has its origins in the iconic Mido Powerwind Diver 1000, dating back to 1961. It was a certified diver's model with a water resistance of 300m, a bi-directional rotating lunette and a distinctive decompression plate on the dial. A limited edition Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer was then reissued in 2020, and all 1961 pieces were soon sold out. The current reissue of the Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer is an unlimited special edition and therefore offers more fans to try this interesting, specific and original design. All versions share a common case size - the 40.5mm diameter fits most men's wrists. This limited edition numbers 1961 pieces for the whole world
