Mido Ocean Star Captain IV Review

Mido Ocean Star Captain IV Review

“a symbol of marine life, the colourful five-pointed sea star”


Case: dibuat dgn bhn Stainless Steel 316 L. Diameter 42,5mm dgn ketebalan 12mm. Dengan berat 182 gr, terasa pas & mantap dilengan.
Lug Widht 22mm, dan yg cukup unik lug ini disertai 2 spring bar hole. Satu utk menggunakan ss bracelet & satu lagi bila ingin menggunakan rubber/leather strap.
2 lughole suatu inovasi yg unik & sangat baik IMO.

Bracelet: brushed stainless steel dgn sedikit accent polish pd rantainya; Bracelet OS IV ini terasa sangat nyaman saat digunakan.
Dan seperti jam diver pd umumnya bracelet menggunakan double folding clasp serta diver extension yg dpt dipergunakan bila kita menggunakan diving suit.

Material: Mido menyebut bahwa mereka menggunakan high quality 316L stainless steel (brushed)


Caseback: display/transparent caseback sehingga kita bs melihat mesin/rotor bekerja. Ini salah satu daya tariknya.
Saya pribadi sangat menyukai transparent caseback ini, krn kita bs melihat keindahan pergerakan mesin/ rotor-nya, seperti work of art.
Glass: menggunakan sapphire crystal jadi anti scratch namun non AR coated.

Bezel & dial: Big dial, thin bezel.. Bezel berwarna biru dgn unidirectional, 60 klik utk satu putaran penuh.
Dial juga berwarna biru, dan pd dial OS IV menambahkan wave patern yg cantik.

Hand & lume: hands utk hour & minute berwarna putih; sementara utk detik berwarna merah. Utk lume shotnya berwarna biru dlm keadaan gelap.
IMO OS IV ini, kekurangannya hanya pd lume shot, dmn terasa krg terang & cepat pudar utk ukuran jam diver (compare dg Black Monster & Aquaracer saya).
Water resistance: 200 meters with Aquadura Sealing System; Mido sejak thn 1934 telah menemukan Aquadura sealing system.
Mereka mengklaim walaupun crown tidak tertutup secara sempurna alias dalam keadaan terbuka, tetap tahan air sampai 5 bar atau 50 meter.
Tapi saya pribadi blm pernah mencobanya atau terbesit utk berenang/menyelam dgn posisi crown terbuka. 

Movement: Selaku anggota dari Swatch Group, Mido menggunakan ETA 2836-2 dgn feature day-date.
Dilengkapi dgn incablok untuk meredam shock/getaran dg lebih baik. Hacking movement, jd jarum detik akan berhenti bila kita mau mengatur hari,tgl & waktu.
Utk accuracy sendiri saya pernah melakukan tes selama 10 hari hasilnya gain +34detik atau kalau dibagi per hari berarti +3,4sec/day.
So far the most accurate diver, I ever had.





Power reserve: Melebihi 40jam (soalnya belum pernah test dari fully wind sampai mati..)

Conclusion: Great quality compare to its value/price..
Maksudnya untuk ukuran Swiss brand Mido ada di level low-mid level, namun bila melihat material, movement,
dan feature yang dimiliki, Mido Ocean Star Captain IV ini jauh melebihi harga & juga ekspektasi saya (IMO).

Oakley Men's 10-193 Minute Machine Titanium Bracelet Edition Titanium Chronograph Watch

Image
Nothing in the world inspires like art, so we unleashed our obsession to turn a timepiece into a masterpiece. If you let style walk a beaten path, your tracks will never get noticed. The inspiration for Oakley Minute Machine watch was something that leaves its mark. We wanted an authentic design, assertive enough to throw some weight around – even if gravity barely takes notice because the case is made of titanium. We used the same ultra-lightweight metal to create the micro adjustment links, and we optimized comfort by adding self-lubricating thrust washers. The timekeeping precision had to equal the outspoken styling, so this is a true Swiss Made Chronograph with 13-jewel movement and the ability to measure cumulative time, intermediate time and split time. Oakley Minute Machine has as much cultivated refinement as aggressive styling, and that’s the kind of rare fusion that makes its own mark. Watches that inspire Swiss watch making toward new possibilities reinforces...
