The rose gold Mido Ocean Star Tribute turns a vintage dive watch into something a little more glamorous. A rose gold PVD case and a blue dial are a classic pairing, and on a textured blue strap the result feels relaxed and refined at the same time.

The steel case is coated in rose gold PVD and polished, giving it a warm glow that changes with the light. Against the blue dial, rose gold-tone hands and stick markers stand out clearly, and the day and date sit at 3 o’clock. The Tribute design looks back to Mido’s dive watches of the 1960s, with a unidirectional rotating bezel, domed box sapphire crystal and short straight lugs. Mido’s Caliber 80 automatic, based on the ETA C07.621 with 25 jewels, offers up to 80 hours of power reserve, and a screw-down crown keeps the case water-resistant to 200 meters.

The blue strap pairs an embossed fabric-look cowhide top with a synthetic lining and closes with a pin buckle, so it is both comfortable and resistant to the occasional splash.
