Mido presents the new Multifort 8 Two Crowns, a sporty-chic model available in three dial colours.
The new Multifort 8 Two Crowns from Mido is immediately distinguished by its octagonal bezel, with eight polished facets contrasted by a satin finish.
Other A special feature of this model is undoubtedly the presence of two crowns, both of which are screwed together. In particular, the one at 4 is used to set the time and date, as well as to wind the movement, while the one at 2 controls the rotating flange, inspired by diver's watches.
Considering the water resistance, which is guaranteed up to 10 atmospheres of pressure (100 metres), the Multifort 8 Two Crowns cannot be considered a true professional diver, although it is still comfortable in the water.
This is not the first time that Mido has equipped a watch with two crowns. In fact, the double crown had first appeared in the brand's catalogue in 2002 with the All Dial Diver, and then in 2013 with the Multifort Two Crowns.
The dial (available in blue for the model with a rubber strap, or in grey or black for those with an integrated steel bracelet) is decorated with horizontal lines that create a fascinating play of light and shadow.
Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns: three dial colours
The models with a grey or black dial are combined with an integrated steel bracelet, while the one with a blue dial has a rubber strap.
Within the 40 mm diameter by 9.5 mm thick steel case with satin and polished finish, beats the Mido calibre 72 (based on ETA A31.111), mechanical automatic movement.
This calibre, operating at a frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour, offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours and employs the antimagnetic Nivachron balance spring. The movement is visible thanks to a porthole on the back, screwed shut.
The Multifort 8 Two Crowns does not compromise on material quality. Sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the aforementioned dial, with SuperLuminova luminescent hands and indices. A date window opens at 3 o'clock. Finally, the steel bracelet is fitted with a folding clasp, while the rubber strap is fitted with a pin buckle.
Prices1,190 euros (rubber strap); 1,220 euros (steel bracelet).
