True to this spirit, the Commander Gradient Se Catrines reflects the lively and colorful essence of the tradition, bringing the symbolism of the iconic figures to life on the dial.
Protected by a sapphire crystal, the Mido Commander Gradient Se Catrines features a well-balanced 40mm case diameter, a slim 11mm height, 44mm lug to lug, and a 21mm lug width, designed for everyday comfort with a refined presence.
