What lug width is the Mido Ocean Star?
The Mido Ocean Star 200C (42mm) uses a 20mm lug width. The Ocean Star GMT (44mm) uses 20mm. The Ocean Star Tribute (38mm) uses 20mm. The Ocean Star Captain (40mm) uses 20mm. All current Ocean Star references use 20mm — a deliberate standardization that gives Mido owners access to the widest possible aftermarket strap selection. 20mm is the most common dive-watch lug width. The Ocean Star's lugs have a slightly downturned profile — flat-end straps seat cleanly with no visible gap.
What's the best cheap rubber strap for the Mido Ocean Star?
The Mido Ocean Star is a proper dive watch (200m water resistance, unidirectional bezel) — FKM rubber is the most natural and popular strap choice. Search 'FKM rubber strap 20mm quick release dive' on AliExpress for $8–$15 options. For the blue-dial Ocean Star (the most popular variant), a matching navy or midnight blue rubber is a cohesive choice; contrasting black rubber is a clean alternative. For the green-dial Ocean Star, olive or dark green rubber harmonizes with the dial color. The Ocean Star's case has a relatively large diameter (42mm) — strap thickness matters; look for rubber that tapers from 20mm to 18mm at the buckle for the best proportions.
Does the Mido Ocean Star look good on a NATO strap?
Yes — the Mido Ocean Star on a NATO is a popular casual look that suits the watch's sport character without being overly serious. The Ocean Star's blue or green bezel pairs naturally with navy or blue-striped NATOs. A solid black or olive NATO is the most versatile everyday choice. The Ocean Star's 42mm case is substantial enough that the NATO's hardware looks proportionate rather than bulky. AliExpress G10 NATO straps in 20mm run $3–$8 — for a watch at Mido's price point ($800–$1,200), the AliExpress strap savings are particularly meaningful.
