Mido

These are new titanium versions of the Multifort Automatic three-hand day/date models that were launched at Baselworld in March. The Multifort Automatic Titanium is available in two versions, and is presented in a 42 mm by 11.25 mm brushed titanium case with black vulcanized rubber bezel. The standard production model has a black dial with white luminous treatment on the hour and minute hands, as well as the indexes. The limited edition model features a grey dial with a grey luminous treatment.

The Multifort Automatic Chronograph comes in a 44 mm x 14.5 mm polished stainless steel case (shown above), or a matte black coated PVD case. The stainless steel model comes with a silver or black brushed dial (black dial is new for 2011). It is powered by a self-winding Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement (a movement that is made by Swatch Group's movement making division "ETA"). The movement has a top grade finish, with circular graining, blued screws and Geneva stripes. Sapphire crystal caseback.

Founded in Switzerland in 1918 by George Schaeren, Mido is now based in Le Locle. The Mido Multifort PVD is a special edition version of their most popular collection. It has a 44 mm x 14.5 mm 316L stainless steel treated case that is PVD treated (PVD gives the watch a black finish, as well as protecting it from scratches and corrosion).
