Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer Special Edition

The new Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer watch blends neo-vintage style with bright colours and cutting-edge technology. Inspired by an iconic Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch of the 1960s, this special edition boasts an original-style decompression table and GMT function with a bezel that shows the world time.

Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer Special Edition watch wrist shot

Created in the 1960s, the historic Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch used a multicoloured scale to display decompression times.

Today, the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer retains this vintage charm, with an added functionality of an extra time zone display. Its navy blue dial spotlights applied and polished original Mido logo.

Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer Special Edition

Paying homage to the famous Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch of the 1960s, this latest piece displays decompression times to a depth of 6 metres using circles of yellow, green, pink and blue.

The rotating bezel, which is fitted with a blue aluminium ring, has the largest cities in the world marked on it in silver. A red arrow indicates the travel time zone, contrasting with the flat and diamond cut hour, minute and second hands for the “home time”.

Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer Special Edition

The brand has opted for non-tinted Super-LumiNova® to highlight the hands for the hours, minutes and seconds, and additional time zone as well the indices and the dot on the bezel. In the 3 o’clock position, a window displays the date. The “glassbox” shaped sapphire crystal is reminiscent of the plexiglas used during the 1960s.

Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer Special Edition watch with rubber strap

The strong and durable polished stainless steel case is fitted on a navy blue rubber with a texture inspired by the fashions of the 1960s. An ingenious system allows the strap to be changed in a blink of an eye, and replaced with a Milanese mesh second strap.

Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer Special Edition with stainless steel mesh bracelet

Fitted with a screw-down case back and crown, the watch has a water resistance of up to 200 metres. Inside the 40.5 mm diameter case beats the calibre 80 Swiss automatic movement (ETA C07.661 base) with GMT function. It is capable of delivering power reserve of up to 80 hours. Moreover, the Nivachron™ balance-spring provides exceptional resistance to magnetism and shock.

The Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer is also available as a second special edition with a decompression table in gradients of yellow to orange, Mido’s signature colour, on a black dial with aluminium ring and matching rubber strap.

A starfish engraved on the screw-down case back emphasises Mido’s historic achievements in the field of water resistance, both way back in 1934 with their Aquadura system.

Seiko Prospex 1970 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation Naomi Uemura Limited Edition, Reference SLA069

Seiko pays tribute to the Japanese mountaineering legend Naomi Uemura (1941-1984) by presenting a new limited edition Prospex diving watch.

Limited to 500 pieces, the Naomi Uemura Edition is based on the Seiko Prospex 1970 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation watch.

Design Inspiration

Five years after making Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko introduced a new diver’s watch. It features a curving case design and an asymmetrical extension that protected the crown at the four o’clock position. This extremely robust and highly readable timepiece featured a solid steel case offering 150-meter water resistance, and a clear dial with luminous hands and indexes.

This 1970 diver’s watch proved its reliability in extreme conditions when it was worn by Japanese adventurer Naomi Uemura in the Arctic region in the years 1974 to 1976.

Tribute to Naomi Uemura

Born in 1941, Naomi Uemura was a university student when he took on the challenge of his first mountain climb. By the age of 29, he had climbed Mont Blanc, Mt. Kilimanjaro, and Mt. Aconcagua, and, in 1970, he became the first Japanese mountaineer to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. Just three months later, he reached the top of Alaska’s Denali (then known as Mt. McKinley) and thus became the first mountaineer in the world to reach the summits of all these five peaks.

Seiko commemorates Uemura’s ascents of these five mountains with a modern re-interpretation of the 1970 diver’s watch whose dial depicts Mont Blanc, the first of these climbs.

Seiko Prospex Naomi Uemura Limited Edition SLA069J1

The Seiko Prospex Naomi Uemura watch (reference SLA069J1) echoes the design of the 1970 original but is thoroughly modern in execution. The textured dial features an image of the distinctive silhouette and contours of Mont Blanc over a patterned backdrop that echoes the mountain’s rocky and snowy surface.

Pressing and etching techniques are used to give the dial depth and bring the 4,807-meter peak to life. Mont Blanc is presented at the very same angle from which Uemura began his ascent. Moreover, the color theme used for the crown and surface around the bezel insert evokes the blue shadows that surround Mont Blanc.

The timepiece houses the Seiko Caliber 8L35, an automatic mechanical movement with a power reserve rating of 50 hours.

The 44m diameter case in stainless steel has a super-hard coating to protect it from scratches. The case sides are carefully polished. The front crystal is a curved sapphire with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface. Fitted with solid steel screw-in case-back, the watch has a water resistance rating of 200 meters.

The date window is positioned between four and five o’clock. All 12 hour markers are visible and all have a generous coating of Lumibrite, as do the hands, to maximize legibility in the dark.

The Seiko Naomi Uemura watch has a five-row steel bracelet to create a sharp, modern profile. This limited edition timepiece is presented in a special box featuring Naomi Uemura’s famous words: “When one dream is realized, other dreams will follow.”

This new watch from the Seiko Prospex family will be available as a limited edition of 500 pieces from May 2023 at the Seiko Boutiques and select retailers worldwide.

For the first time, the Seiko Prospex collection is offering a GMT diving watch with a mechanical movement. The new Prospex GMT series is comprised of three automatic watches, and all of them are modern re-interpretations of a Seiko classic diver from 1968.

Models SPB381J1 and SPB383J1

The first two – SPB381J1 and SPB383J1 – represents two versions of the Prospex 1968 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation GMT watch. Among them, Seiko Prospex GMT SPB381 features a green dial and a green ceramic bezel insert. The second model (reference SPB383) has a black dial and a black ceramic bezel insert.

The third watch in the new series is Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Seiko Prospex Save the Ocean Limited Edition (reference SPB385J1).

To equip these new timepieces, Seiko has manufactured a new automatic movement in the 6R family. The new Caliber 6R54 offers a GMT function and a power reserve extended to a full 72 hours.

The GMT hand can be set independently in one-hour increments without interrupting the hands that display the time of primary time zone. This arrangement allows the wearer to quickly identify the time in a second time zone.

The 42mm diameter case is made of super hard-coated stainless steel. They also feature a unidirectional bezel with a scratch-proof ceramic bezel-insert featuring luminous pip. Moreover, these models come with the proprietary Lumibrite luminous pigment coating on the hands and all 12 markers.

Model: SEIKO Prospex GMT SPB385

Limited to 4,000 pieces, the Seiko Prospex GMT SPB385 Save the Ocean Limited Edition celebrates the 110th anniversary of Seiko’s, and Japan’s, first wristwatch. This model boasts an intricately textured ice-blue dial inspired by the polar glaciers.

Orient Star Diver 1964 1st Edition with Silver Dial, Reference RE-AU0502S

Japanese watch brand Orient Star has introduced a new Diver 1964 1st Edition model to its Sports Collection. The new limited-edition Orient Star Diver RE-AU0502S watch reflects this proud history, reproducing the original design of the Olympia Calendar Diver model released in 1964, with an upgrade to contemporary scuba divers’ watch specifications of 200-metre water resistance in compliance with the ISO 6425 standard.

This new reference features the same silver dial as the original and combines vintage design with Orient Star’s latest high-performance in-house movement.

Orient Star Diver 1964 1st Edition with Silver Dial, Reference RE-AU0502S

The Diver 1964 1st Edition launched in 2021 for Orient Star’s 70th anniversary. It is based on the Olympia Calendar Diver launched after several years of development work that began in the early 1960s.

The new Orient Star Diver RE-AU0502S model reproduces the same features of the original: a rotating bezel made of solid stainless steel, three-dimensionally cut indices, an arrow-shaped hand, and a case shape with sharp lugs.

The Olympia Calendar Diver was available in black or silver dials. The new model is a reproduction of the silver version.

Orient Star Diver 1964 1st Edition with Silver Dial, Reference RE-AU0502S

It offers significantly improved water resistance to 200 metres for scuba diving, compliant with the ISO 6425 standard for divers’ watches – a significant improvement from the original model’s 40 meters.

The metal bracelet made from the same high-quality stainless steel provides substantial presence and optimum comfort. The trifold clasp comes with push button, security latch and divers’ extension, making the watch practical to use for sports activities and urban lifestyle.

Orient Star Diver 1964 1st Edition with Silver Dial, Reference RE-AU0502S

The hand-wound movement of the original 1964 model has been replaced with a contemporary automatic movement, an in-house caliber F6N47 that provides stable high accuracy and a 50-hour power reserve. Another new feature is the power indicator located at 12 o’clock showing the remaining running time.

The Orient Star Diver 1964 1st Edition was launched in 2021 with a black dial, in a limited edition of 500 pieces.

The new Orient Star Diver 1964 1st Edition with silver dial (reference RE-AU0502S) is limited to 900 pieces worldwide.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

Swiss luxury watch brand TAG Heuer presents the new Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph powered by a solar movement.

In March 2022, at Watches and Wonders, TAG Heuer introduced the original Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph, the first TAG Heuer watch and Aquaracer with a solar-powered movement. It features a black DLC steel sandblasted case with carbon bezel.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

This year, TAG Heuer launches the Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph in titanium, which is extremely durable, scratch-resistant and lightweight.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

Dressed in a 40mm diameter case, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 is an ideal watch to wear outdoors.

Its unique dial, partly translucent, allows the movement to recharge itself with the light’s rays. It is complemented by the polar blue, evoking the northern lights which illuminates the nights in the Arctic Circle.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

The black indexes, hour and minute hand, and the polar blue lacquered central hands, all covered with Super Luminova®. The sleek and sporty bracelet is made of titanium.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

With the Solargraph movement, there is no need to change the watch’s battery: it is recharged by the sun or artificial light. A two-minute exposure to direct sunlight is enough to power the watch for an entire day. Once fully charged, after less than 20 hours in the sun, the watch can run for up to six months with no light exposure.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

To develop this reliable and efficient movement, called Caliber TH50-00, TAG Heuer partnered with the Manufacture La Joux-Perret in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. This solar quartz movement has a 5-year extended warranty.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph will be sold in TAG Heuer stores worldwide and on the TAG Heuer e-commerce site starting in February 2023.
