Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961

40.5mm Consistent Pricing

The Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 puts a rainbow decompression table on your wrist, reviving one of the more unusual dial designs in diving-watch history. Those concentric colored bands aren’t decoration: they were designed to help divers read decompression stops against their dive time, and they give this modern reissue its wonderfully busy character.

Look for this model if you want the original concept without the extra indications of the later Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer. Here, the conventional dive bezel and time-and-date layout let the decompression scale take center stage. The automatic Caliber 80 brings a long power reserve, while the box-shaped sapphire crystal preserves the vintage silhouette. Two practical details deserve attention: the colorful scale leaves relatively little visual space for the hands, so legibility is worth considering, and the 21mm lug spacing narrows your options if swapping straps is part of the fun.
