Mido unveils the second instalment of its cult series: the Multifort TV Big Date S01E02.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A high-definition dial\u2026 1975 version<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scene is set: a relief pattern inspired by the multicoloured adjustment bands on old-fashioned televisions, a \u2018pixel noise\u2019 reproduced with an almost nostalgic attention to detail, and a satin-finished grey PVD bezel with negative relief hour markers. At 12 o’clock, the large date, the watchmaker’s signature, sits like a breaking news ticker. Visibility remains impeccable, even during prime time at night, thanks to the white Super-LumiNova\u00ae applied to the hour markers and the faceted hour and minute hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central motif, in positive relief, is reminiscent of the focus bars displayed on televisions of the era.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Multifort TV Big Date, a square case that rounds everything off<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by 1970s televisions, the watch features a square case with rounded corners \u2013 40 x 39.2 mm \u2013 sculpted from grey PVD-treated steel, satin-finished and polished, a first for the collection. Equipped with a crown protector, it features anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The matching metal bracelet plays the monochrome card, while two additional bracelets in bright blue and vibrant yellow rubber add a touch of fun. Want to change your look? No problem: the pin bars ensure a quick switch between episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engine line-up: the Calibre 80 takes centre stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the mechanical side, the automatic Calibre 80 intrigues with a power reserve of approximately 80 hours, as its name suggests. In addition, its Nivachron\u2122 balance spring ensures high resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. Water-resistant to 100 metres, the watch can be viewed from behind thanks to its transparent case back, revealing its oscillating weight decorated with C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve and engraved with the Mido logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
