Dive into the legend!
After four successful versions, the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 from MIDO is back, paying homage once again to its original 1961 model, the Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch.
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.
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.
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.
Each of the 1961 pieces comes in a special box. This box contains a limited edition certificate and a set of three bracelets: black PVD-treated polished stainless steel Milanese mesh, semi-gloss blue textured rubber, and black genuine calfskin leather, with stitching in the colours of the dial table. A tool-free easy-change system means you can vary your look to suit the occasion.
