If you’re after a showstopping addition to your wristwear, MIDO’s latest releases are about to steal the spotlight. The esteemed Swiss watchmaker has premiered two new timepieces that merge vintage TV-inspired design with contemporary engineering: the Multifort TV Big Date S01E02 and the Multifort TV Chronograph. Here’s what makes each of these watches must-haves for style-conscious men.
Multifort TV Big Date S01E02: Nostalgic Flair, Modern Precision
The Multifort TV Big Date S01E02 is a nod to the golden age of television, boasting a colourful dial that echoes the classic colour bars found on vintage sets. Encased in a distinctive TV-shaped case, this special edition features a satin grey PVD finish, giving it a bold and sophisticated look. The eye-catching dial is framed by a grey border with recessed indexes, all filled with white Super-LumiNova® for visibility long after the credits roll. At 12 o’clock, you’ll find MIDO’s signature big date window, ensuring vital information is always front and centre.
The watch comes with three interchangeable bracelets: a grey PVD-treated stainless steel bracelet for a monochrome edge, plus rubber straps in bright blue and yellow for those who like to keep their style flexible. Behind the scenes, the Caliber 80 automatic movement delivers up to 80 hours of power reserve, complete with a Nivachron™ balance spring for resistance to magnetism and shocks. Water resistance up to 10 bar, a transparent case back, and a specially designed presentation box round off this collector’s piece.
Multifort TV Chronograph: Sporty Elegance in a Contemporary Silhouette
The Multifort TV Chronograph is set to turn heads thanks to its deep blue gradient dial and robust 42 mm steel case. This timepiece is the first in the TV series to feature a chronograph complication, making it a perfect partner for men with a taste for both style and performance. The dial’s horizontal brushed finish, three precisely arranged counters, and tachymeter scale on the flange add a sporty, dynamic touch—while the white Super-LumiNova® coating ensures readability, day or night.
The Caliber 60 automatic movement provides up to 60 hours of power reserve, with a skeletonised oscillating weight, blued screws, and circular-grained bridges visible through the transparent case back. Two pushers allow for easy chronograph operation, and you get a choice of interchangeable straps: a polished steel bracelet for urban polish or a blue fabric strap with white stitching for sporty outings. The quick-change system means you can switch styles in seconds.
