Marking 90 years of its iconic Multifort collection, Mido unveils the Multifort Mechanical Limited Edition (Ref: M038.605.11.060.00), a timepiece that combines historic watchmaking craftsmanship with modern innovation. This special edition, limited to 999 pieces, offers an intriguing fusion of aesthetics, mechanics, and versatility.
A Dial with “X-Ray Vision”
At the heart of the Multifort Mechanical Limited Edition is a unique anthracite dial that appears to reveal the internal mechanics of the watch. Mido achieves this illusion through a clever use of Super-LumiNova®, tracing the shape of the movement’s hidden gears in blue and orange luminescence. By day, the dial’s refined finish highlights vertical satin effects, while at night, the glowing components bring it to life, creating an unparalleled visual experience. This innovative design showcases Mido’s ability to blend high-tech materials with traditional craftsmanship.
Precision in Every Detail
The watch is powered by a hand-wound ETA 6498-1 movement, a collector’s favorite. Featuring rhodium-plated bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and beveled edges, this movement embodies Swiss horological excellence. With a power reserve of up to 46 hours, it offers both reliability and a connection to traditional watchmaking. Adjusted in three positions for optimal accuracy, the movement’s intricate workings can be admired through the transparent mineral crystal caseback.
Built for Durability and Style
The 44mm stainless steel case combines satin-finished and polished surfaces, ensuring durability and elegance. A sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating ensures exceptional readability. The watch is water-resistant up to 10 bar (100 meters), making it suitable for everyday wear and adventurous pursuits alike.
Mido elevates this limited-edition timepiece with three interchangeable straps, each revealing a different facet of the Multifort’s personality:
- A robust satin-finished stainless steel bracelet with deployant clasp.
- A vintage-style brown leather strap with a patina effect and luminescent white stitching.
