A preowned Mido Multifort
Vintage versions with manual winding are real treasures for connoisseurs. The Côtes de Genève finish on the dials and the meticulous workmanship of the gilded hour-markers bear witness to Swiss watchmaking expertise. On today's market, the Patrimony and Skeleton models are attracting a new generation of enthusiasts, seduced by their neo-retro style and visible movements.
Automatic models: precision and reliability
COSC-certified automatic movements represent Mido's technical excellence. These calibers guarantee exceptional chronometric precision of between -4 and +6 seconds per day, validated by rigorous 15-day tests.
The use of silicon balance springs in recent mechanisms enhances their resistance to magnetic fields while optimizing their performance. The Powermatic calibers equipping current models demonstrate remarkable stability thanks to their high-tech components.
Meticulous quality control ensures the longevity of every part: water-resistance and shock-resistance tests and verification of tolerances to one hundredth of a millimeter. Buyers benefit from a 5-year extended warranty on chronometer versions.
Men's collection: between sport and refinement
The Mido men's collection harmoniously blends contemporary design and advanced functionality. The sleek lines of the steel cases, available in sizes from 39 to 42 millimeters, suit all male wrists. The integrated steel bracelet or vintage leather strap adds a distinctive touch to each model.
Enthusiasts are particularly fond of the Commander Heritage, an iconic timepiece distinguished by its sunray dial and hand-applied hour markers. For a more casual style, the Multifort Chronometer offers a sporty look with its textured “Côtes de Genève” dial and luminescent hands.
The pre-owned market particularly values limited editions such as the recent M026.830, recognizable by its transparent caseback revealing the finesse of the Swiss mechanism.
Women's selection: a blend of style and technology
Mido's women's collections shine through their unique watchmaking refinement. The Baroncelli range captivates with its slender 33mm cases adorned with diamonds, perfect for delicate wrists.
The flagship Rainflower model enchants with its delicately engraved petals on the mother-of-pearl dial, a Mido technical feat. Skeleton hands and hand-applied hour markers sublimate each creation.
Technical precision is expressed through Swiss Made automatic calibers, offering an 80-hour power reserve. Interchangeable Milanese bracelets allow elegant customization to suit every taste.
