Mido Multifort TV Big Date Owner Review : Comfortable, original and seductive

I have had this watch for a few days. I fell for the model with the smoky gray dial and its orange rubber strap. On the wrist, this watch is very comfortable, the strap is a little thick but it lends itself well to it. The indexes, hands and dial make the time easily readable. Looking at the dial closely, we can see that it is slightly striated. On this dial color, with the striates, it is even more reminiscent of old cathode ray tube TVs. This is my first watch with a large date complication. I like to watch the date change with the discs that we see turning, however I read that there had been returns to the after-sales service for a manufacturing problem. Mine does not seem to be affected because the date changes quickly unlike the watches affected by the problem. It also seems that you will have to be vigilant and careful with the date setting, avoiding the famous "death zone" (set the date with the hands down). The movement is visible because the case back is fitted with a sapphire crystal. Only the oscillating weight is decorated, rather pretty, but the rest of the movement remains rather sober. On the other hand, it offers a nice power reserve of 80 hours and on mine, it is rather precise with a very low drift. For me it is a very good point. In general, I find that this watch exudes quality. The finishes are beautiful with a design that I find well thought out.
