MIDO Multifort Chronograph Special Edition – Swiss Automatic

Product Overview

The MIDO Multifort Chronograph Special Edition is a Swiss-made automatic watch crafted for men who value precision engineering, sport-inspired design, and enduring quality. With its bold 44mm case and striking black dial, this timepiece delivers both functional performance and refined aesthetics. At its core lies a Swiss automatic movement, self-winding through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist, eliminating the need for battery replacements while offering up to 60 hours of power reserve—ensuring reliable timekeeping even after two days of non-use. The watch features three subdials: a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, and a running seconds display, enabling precise chronograph functionality for timing events, athletic activities, or professional tasks. An integrated tachymeter scale on the outer bezel allows the wearer to calculate speed based on time and distance, making it a practical companion for motorsports, running, or any pursuit where measuring velocity matters. The dial is adorned with Geneva Stripes, a signature decorative pattern in Swiss watchmaking that enhances the watch’s sporty yet sophisticated character. For improved legibility in low-light conditions, the hands and hour markers are coated with Super-Luminova® material, providing clear visibility at night or in dim environments. This combination of technical capability and design detail positions the Multifort Chronograph as a standout model within MIDO’s renowned collection.

Key Features

• Tachymeter Scale: Positioned on the outer edge of the dial, the tachymeter allows users to compute speed over a known distance, serving as a functional tool for drivers, athletes, and enthusiasts interested in performance metrics.
• Super-Luminova® Hands and Indexes: The luminescent coating ensures the time is easily readable in darkness or low-light settings, enhancing practicality for nighttime use or in environments with poor lighting.
