The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date Watch (£1180) is a stunning blend of retro charm and modern engineering. Drawing inspiration from MIDO’s extraordinary heritage, this timepiece brings back the iconic TV-shaped case, creating a brilliant flashback that places classic design in the spotlight once more. With its bold lines, sophisticated details, and formidable mechanics, the Multifort TV Big Date stands out as a watch that effortlessly combines precision and style.
The first thing you’ll notice about this watch is the striking horizontal brushed finish on the dial, accentuated by the prominent Big Date aperture positioned at 12 o’clock. This unique feature not only enhances readability but also serves as a statement of style, making it clear that this is a watch designed for those who value timeless elegance. To celebrate its 100th anniversary, MIDO developed an exclusive automatic movement featuring the Big Date complication, adding a touch of innovation to this heritage-inspired design.
At the heart of the Multifort TV Big Date is the latest-generation Calibre 80 automatic movement, offering up to 80 hours of power reserve. The movement includes a high-tech balance spring in Nivachron™, which provides remarkable resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, ensuring precision and reliability in any situation. The movement is finely decorated, with an oscillating weight adorned with Geneva Stripes and the MIDO logo—a detail that can be admired through the transparent sapphire glass case back.
Crafted with a focus on durability, the watch’s components are coated with PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), providing a strong, impurity-free film that enhances resistance to corrosion. Available in beautiful shades of black, rose gold, or yellow gold, the PVD coating adds an elegant finish that boosts the watch’s aesthetic appeal while also making it hypoallergenic for universal comfort.
The Multifort TV Big Date also features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass that reveals the spectacular dial in sharp detail, ensuring excellent readability in various lighting conditions. Made to be strong, shock-resistant, and durable, this glass maintains its transparency for years, perfectly complementing the watch’s elegant and dynamic design.
With its nostalgic TV-shaped case, modern features, and luxurious details, the MIDO Multifort TV Big Date Watch is a tribute to the brand’s rich history and a testament to its commitment to quality craftsmanship. Whether you’re drawn to its heritage or its contemporary features, this timepiece is a sophisticated addition to any collection, perfect for those who appreciate the best of both worlds.
