About the Mido Ocean Star GMT Men's Watch

The Mido Ocean Star GMT is an automatic sports watch for men, model M026.629.37.291.00. It has a round 44mm case in brushed and polished stainless steel with a yellow gold PVD coating. The case is 13.4mm thick and has a solid case back and a fixed bezel. A scratch resistant sapphire crystal covers the black dial.

The dial has yellow gold tone hands and stick hour markers, with minute markers around the outer rim. The date sits at 3 o'clock. Functions are hour, minute, second, date, GMT and power reserve.

A Swiss automatic movement, Caliber 80, powers the watch and gives about 80 hours of power reserve. The screw down crown and 200 meter (660 foot) water resistance suit sport use. The brown rubber strap closes with a brushed stainless steel folding clasp.
