Important Notes

The manufacturer’s warranty is available and can be requested directly through customer service. While the product listing includes a C battery requirement, this appears inconsistent with the automatic movement type, which is self-winding and does not rely on batteries. Buyers are encouraged to confirm movement specifications with MIDO or an authorized retailer to ensure accuracy. The watch was first made available on May 12, 2014, and carries the model number M86009N61 for identification and service purposes. To preserve the watch’s condition, it should be protected from impacts, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Regular maintenance by a qualified watchmaker is recommended to sustain performance and longevity.
