Mido Multifort Patrimony Chronograph - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Mido SA is a Swiss watchmaking company, founded in 1918 in Solothurn by Georges Schaeren. Known for being a pioneer in precision watchmaking, it is part of the Swatch Group and is currently based in Le Locle. Its products are the self-winding Multifort (1935), the central chronograph (1943) and the Mini Mido (1967), the smallest automatic watch ever produced on an assembly line. Despite everything, the brand does not benefit from the exposure of Tissot, perhaps due to products with less accessible prices. Underrated, unloved, unknown, Mido designs beautiful pieces that deserve greater visibility. Twin sister of Tissot and its Heritage range, the brand offers beautiful models ranging from dressy pieces to more sporty pieces. Attracted by the mask, I took the plunge for the sporty, orange-toned Multifort Chronograph model, which had been catching my eye for several years before discovering this more precise model. This Swiss watch is a tribute to the brand's oldest and most iconic chronograph: the Multichrono from 1937. It has a domed dial placed under a sapphire crystal and is equipped with a tachymeter scale with red sub-indexes, with a beautiful effect. At the heart of this chronograph, the Caliber 60 automatic movement offers a power reserve of up to 60 hours. Neo vintage in all its splendor. The ideal companion for formal outfits, this chronograph is the detail that will finish off an outfit without being ostentatious. It is one of those watches that we never tire of looking at. Try it and adopt it!
