Mido has had a cushion-shaped Multifort TV for some time now, but this new iteration moves towards a shape with rounded corners. The smoked dials come in grey, green or blue gradient, and besides a stainless steel bracelet version, a blue and orange polymer strap versions are also available.
Inside the Mido Multifort TV Big Date is an ETA C07.111 that boasts 80 hours of power reserve, which has been adapted to show two separate date disks. The case is sized at 40mm, and the retail price is CHF 1,100.
In the words of Mido: “A brilliant flashback! Born from Mido’s extraordinary heritage, the TV-shaped case returns to the centre stage for the Multifort TV Big Date, as intense as it is precise, thanks to its formidable mechanical movement. The modern and dynamic design of this Swiss watch is underlined by a striking horizontal brushed finish dial and, along wtih its distinctive function: the BIG DATE at 12 o’clock. Its formidable latest-generation automatic movement, Calibre 80 is equipped with a high-tech balance spring in Nivachron™ which offers outstanding resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.“
