Founded in 1918 by Swiss watchmaker Georges Schaeren, MIDO has established itself in the world of mechanical watchmaking through technical innovations and timeless designs. In the 1930s, the brand developed the Aquadura water-resistance system, featuring a cork crown seal. In 1934, it introduced the Multifort collection, combining automatic winding with resistance to shocks, water and magnetic fields. The year 1959 marked another milestone with the introduction of the Ocean Star, featuring a monocoque case designed to improve water resistance. This collection gradually became a symbol of MIDO's maritime watchmaking expertise. Today, Ocean Star watches combine Swiss automatic movements, durability and diving-inspired aesthetics. Blending watchmaking heritage with technical innovation, MIDO continues its tradition of producing reliable timepieces for underwater exploration enthusiasts.
