Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement: At the heart of the Multifort M is a precision-engineered Swiss automatic caliber. This self-winding mechanism harnesses the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to maintain consistent operation, eliminating the need for a battery. The movement is built for long-term reliability and smooth performance, embodying the mechanical artistry for which Swiss watchmaking is renowned.
• 42mm Stainless Steel Case: The robust yet elegantly proportioned 42mm case is crafted from high-grade stainless steel, offering durability and a substantial feel. Its refined dimensions ensure comfort across a range of wrist sizes, making it suitable for extended wear in both business and leisure contexts.
• 80-Hour Power Reserve: Once fully wound, the movement can operate continuously for up to 80 hours—more than three full days—without additional motion. This extended reserve ensures the watch remains accurate through weekends or brief periods of non-use, reducing the need for frequent resetting.
• Date Calendar Function: A practical date display is seamlessly integrated into the dial, providing everyday utility while preserving the watch’s clean, balanced design. This feature enhances functionality without compromising aesthetic harmony.
• Superior Materials & Finishes: MIDO selects only premium materials and applies high-end finishes to both external and internal components. The dial, case, and movement are treated with meticulous care, reflecting the brand’s philosophy that excellence lies in the smallest details.
• Resistance to Magnetism: The latest-generation movement includes enhanced protection against magnetic fields, ensuring stable timekeeping even near smartphones, laptops, or other electronic devices commonly encountered in modern life.
• COSC-Certified Options Available: Select models within the Multifort line are chronometer-certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), having undergone rigorous independent testing for precision and reliability under varying conditions.
