Each timepiece reflects authentic watchmaking credentials and functional precision. The brand lineage includes creative masterworks like the famous 1925 Bugatti radiator shaped cases and intricate artisanal enamel dials for women. Alongside these artistic achievements, Mido established a lasting reputation for robust utility watches, building legendary lines including the Commander, Ocean Star, and Multifort series over 80 years of development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginating in 1934, the historic Multifort lineage evolves with a fresh case geometry that honors vintage television screen silhouettes. The Mido Multifort TV Big Date combines retro character with modern sports watch capabilities, highlighted by a vertical striped fume dial that catches light effortlessly. Engineered for active daily wear, the watch delivers a massive 80 hour power reserve driven by the automatic Swiss Caliber 80. Enhanced with a Nivachoc balance spring for superior shock protection and precision, this steel timepiece stands out as a versatile, high performance daily wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/MidoMultifortTVBigDatePVDLeather-04_38c39fee-783d-4b56-9655-86ecedcc34c0.jpg?v=1790156594\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMido Multifort TV Big Date PVD Grey Ref.

However, this new Multifort breathes new ethos within the contemporary Harbour Bridge, as the watch still draws elements from yesteryears. Offering the perfect combination of style and substance, function and aesthetics, Mido celebrates this ultra-resistant, newly visioned monument with some instantly recognizable design features. But this collection's robustness and exceptional longevity, which has been in production for the past 85 years, also define the Multifort as a creation that has stood the test of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThanks to its 40mm diameter, 48mm lugs to lugs, and 11.8mm thick stainless steel case, the Mido Multifort TV Big Date Blackout brilliantly weathers the passage of time. Its polished oblong case and bezel contrast with its satin-finished top surface and sides for an added touch of refinement. The full case is coated with black PVD for a sleek blackout look. The refined fixed bezel further clads a luminous pip at 12 o 'clock only to add more sportiness to its overall design. The case reminds one of those vintage \"TV\" shaped watches from the 70s, which bestowed lifestyle and fun elements into our relatively sober horology industry. This all-new Multifort scores highly while bringing a modern touch in a more wearable sizing for most wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/MidoMultifortTVBigDatePVDLeather-11.jpg?v=1790156594\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBig Date Aperture\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for both daily life and adrenaline-fuelled adventures, the Multifort displays beneficial information, including the significant date complication at the top. The flat sapphire crystal, with anti-reflective treatment on both sides, provides a clear view of the smokey grey patterned dial. The smokey effect, where the colour gets darker towards the periphery, adds a certain depth for its wearer to admire. The hour and minute hands and the painted hour plots present captivating surface contrasts. All the horizontal texture further accentuates the dial's appearance in a darker or lighter depth, depending on the light. Topping off the dial lies the additional minute rehaut that lends a sporty vibe balanced with its otherwise elegant dial. For night legibility, the handset and index plots are treated with warm vintage beige Super LumiNova, delivering dependable visibility whenever lighting conditions fade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePack within the 100m water-resistant Multifort is the Calibre 80 of MIDO based on the ETA C07.611 with a total 80-hour power reserve. The Caliber 80 is considered in-house as MIDO is part of the Swatch group family, and the modified ETA CO7.621 features a Nivachoc balance spring with its frequency reduced to 21,600 Hz and an improved mainspring capacity. The time and date adjustment can be easily adjusted through its screw-down crown, flanked by crown protectors on each side. The calibre 80 inside the watch and the added big date complication make it so value-driven as it holds one of the highest-quality movements today at an exceptional price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/MidoMultifortTVBigDatePVDLeather-08_fe3f2ec6-0821-4641-a808-1e8ecb3ab909.jpg?v=1790156594\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuperLuminova glows in the dark\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable timepiece comes on a 22mm brown embossed cow leather strap with black PVD buckle that complements the watch nicely.
