Few dive watches look as relaxed as the Mido Ocean Star GMT on its blue fabric strap. The textured strap softens the 44mm steel case, and the blue ceramic bezel against a black dial gives it a nautical, off-duty character that suits travel days and summer weekends.

The black dial is fitted with applied polished markers and luminous hands, while a blue varnished GMT hand tracks a second time zone against a 24-hour circle printed in blue for daytime and black for night. Mido’s Caliber 80 GMT, based on the ETA C07.661, delivers up to 80 hours of power reserve at 21,600 vibrations per hour. The unidirectional bezel uses a scratch-resistant ceramic insert, and the screwed case back is engraved with world time zones. With a screw-down crown the watch is water-resistant to 200 meters, so the GMT can follow you from the airport straight into the sea.

Because the fabric strap is lighter than a bracelet, this is the most comfortable way to wear a 44mm GMT on a long-haul flight.
