amazon MIDO OCEAN STAR CAPTAIN V reviews
People often argue: each watch is a work of art, and the watch is worn as a treasure hidden by many interesting things. It can be a top-notch machine, a sophisticated design, a rare material, or a story that can make us feel unforgettable. Let’s discover Duy this treasure with us!
The interesting details of a watch of Mido brand, a Swiss brand about a hundred years old (1918-2018), will be introduced by us this week. That is not an elegant model, classic Baroncelli line, nor a strong model, muscular Multifort line. It is different from the usual perception for this brand, which is a blend of light, subtle and strong styles. The watch model is mention belongs to the product line called “Ocean Star.”
“Ocean Star,” the name alone, suggests that this is a hard-dive watch. Remember in 1959; it was the birth of this watch that marked a milestone proof that Mido’s watch is completely water-resistant, even in the most extreme conditions.
As the latest collection of the Ocean Star series, Captain V launched in early 2016 has inherited and promoted the values created. Hence, the image for Ocean Star is beside the impressive innovations. In the article, we will showcase the highlights of this collection by evaluating its own experience with a steel-gold-plated demi version.
First, let’s take a look at some of the main parameters of the models in the Ocean Star Captain V. collection.

Advantages
– Although still maintaining the basic functions but Captain IV launched earlier, Captain V is more or less mature and different. Captain V’s design emphasizes simplicity, neatness but sophistication, and sharpness. The most outstanding feature of Captain V is that the models in this collection are equipped with the Caliber 80 by Mido with the ability to store up to 80 hours of energy, far superior to the 38-hour storage of Captain IV and most of the other diving watches. That is probably one of the reasons Captain V immediately released has attracted the love and appreciation from professionals.
– The first highlight of this model can easily realize its good design. Although it is a dive watch, which is impressively rough, it is rounded and surprisingly soft with the design lines on this template. The dial is designed, simple, and easy to read. With such a design, this watch does not bring a sense of pit, but on the contrary, it has a masculine but gentle beauty. That makes it possible to wear even when wearing shirts, vests, next to polo shirts or sportswear.
With a face size of 42.4mm, which is difficult to wear, it is difficult to combine costumes, but with a very neat shoulder design and hand-holding plus 11.75 mm, the thickness makes this watch look beautiful on the hands of ordinary people wear dress watch size 38-40. The watch also does not feel heavy or leave marks when worn due to the wire being quite soft.
Mido’s “Caliber 80” automatic mechanical machine, also known as ETA C07.621, was developed from ETA 2824-2. Caliber 80 has the same quality and performance as the famous proprietary machines like H-10 of Hamilton or Powermatic80 of Tissot, if not better, because of the grade and quality. Mido machines are usually high. Caliber 80 allows the watch to work continuously for 3-4 days without the need for a cork or wrist strap. So, with the current price listed by the manufacturer for this model, Caliber 80 is an excellent piece of equipment, demonstrating Mido’s favor for Ocean Star’s product line.
Along with that is the simple and airy dial that creates a feeling of elegance and readability. For those who love photography, with anti-glare glass, this model gives clear and detailed images in a surprisingly subtle way. The intentionally polished balls with the second hand have a red-orange arrow that moves smoothly, creating vivid accents for the watch face. The bezel of this model is arranged with grooves in the square structure alternating quite cleverly, not being “like” the famous dive watch of Rolex or Omega. The notched part on the gold-plated bezel with PVD technology with the same color as the knob and the wire part creates a unified elegant and luxurious pink gold color, strikingly enough to still fit the usage situation. Diving or outdoor activities. The underground gold color suggests the watch can be worn with work clothes.
The bottom of this model is decorated with a starfish figure, bringing its distinct features. Not only is it obsessive about the performance of the watch, but the starfish also causes sympathy for the environment’s friendliness of the collection.
Weakness
No product is perfect, so Captain V’s Mido Ocean Star is no exception. The watch’s face is slightly “thin,” sometimes the feeling of light going through makes the color not deep. Noctilucent needles and pile numbers are not very bright, but this is probably not too big a problem if you do not use them often in a dark environment. For diving watches, the common way to remove the key is to use a screwdriver. When attaching the latch, if the hand is strongly screwed, the pin may be twisted and damage the cord. Some wearers have encountered this irony, so if you need to cut the Ocean Star Captain V strings, please take care of turning the latch or handing it over to a qualified person.
