This MIDO is part of a revival of "sport chic" watches with integrated steel bracelets that revive a style known mainly by a few very high-end references: Nautilus, Aquanuat, Royal Oak, engineer, ... Mido claims however to have included in its catalog such models with cushion shapes in the 70s, according to the design fashionable at the time. To return to this multifort (the name of the "toolwatch" range at Mido), if it irremediably brings to mind a Nautilus, it has its own personality, starting with the large date which takes the place normally dedicated to the 12 o'clock index. An original positioning but which does not pose any difficulty (apart from the 12th of the month, no ambiguity to be expected), especially compared to the practical side of this complication, and to the fact that it is still more noble than a simple date disc. The dial has an original pattern with a very aesthetic gradient from the center to the edges. The case offers a very balanced alternation of brushed and polished, with of course the essential brushed bezel, brushed very finely. The only small criticism that can be made concerns the height of the bezel, which counts for a lot for the thickness of the watch which otherwise easily matches the shape of the case. The movement is the well-known powermatic of the swatch group with its 3hz and its 80 hours of very practical power reserve. The precision is quite satisfactory. The bracelet, in steel, and the folding clasp are very qualitative, especially for the requested budget. And this is the most astonishing point of the watch: its quality/pleasure/price ratio quite astonishing in view of its overall quality and the complication proposed. There is no doubt that it will introduce Mido to new enthusiasts, which was my case, this Swiss brand of the Swatch Group being clearly better known today in Asia than in Europe.

First purchase at Mido I am totally delighted. This shape from the past presents all the characteristics of a modern watch. The marriage is fabulous. Not being particularly vintage this watch totally meets my criteria, a superb aesthetic and characteristics that are no less so. This orange rubber strap associated with this gray dial modernizes and brings a beautiful sporty touch to the model. Concerning the movement it is a little too early to give my opinion.

I have been buying watches on impulse for a while now when I go to a jeweler (I quickly abandoned online stores except for micro brands). But the TV Big Date had caught my eye since its release with this particular format and the orange strap that we saw everywhere. And so after a difficult two weeks at work I took advantage of a morning to go to the jeweler to see it in real life. As always the dimensions in reality are much prettier than in the photos. But in the store there was only the gray and the green, both on a steel bracelet. Unfortunately, when I put the two watches on my wrist, I realized that my color blindness (I am deuteranope) limited my choice on the gray one, not seeing the green. What misled my eyes was this beautiful horizontal brushing that allows the gradient to spread differently depending on the light. What also guided me to choose this model was the big date complication which is also perfectly integrated at noon. The polished and brushed H-link bracelet is really beautiful and easy to wear. In addition, what quickly made me give in was that the jeweler had received three Mido watch winders (which are offered for any online order over €1000) and that if I bought it that same morning, I would leave with the winder. That was all I needed to buy it! Since then, it is one of the watches that people notice the most. It is surely one of the watches I will never part with!

What a watch with this TV box!! My first desire was to acquire a summer watch, so I chose the superb blue dial with gray highlights and hollowed indexes on an orange rubber strap: a perfect combo in my opinion. Between the satin and the mirror-polished, this box is dazzling. To top it all off (no pun intended) a large date complication with automatic movement caliber 80 for a very affordable price positioning. I love it!!

I wanted a chic steel sports watch with a nice complication. And here I come across a video of Teddy Baldassare who presented this watch and I fell in love with it. The finishes are simply superb and the watch is well worth the 1200e asked. The striped blue dial catches the light in a unique way. The result is that it is almost black in the shade and ocean blue as soon as the light hits it. The steel bracelet is very comfortable, remains to be seen over time. And a big date is just classy!!

What can I say about this watch? Sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective treatment, Nivachron balance spring resistant to magnetism, 80-hour power reserve (21600 3Hz alternation, we would have preferred 28800 4Hz, well we can't have everything lol) a great horizontally brushed dial with a large date with two reversed discs, rare on watches at this price I think!! I have them with a green dial that darkens to go towards black with the most beautiful effect. For this price of 1200 euros I think the price is correct.

I totally fell for this pretty watch when it came out, a very 70s style with a design representing our old televisions, for the older ones of course. A pretty brushed case, mirror polished on a slightly striated dial background, with a gray-green gradient. What I also really like is its big date at 12 o'clock. It reminds me of the departure or arrival boards of means of transport of a certain era. I find that the orange rubber strap version is the best version, perfect for coloring my chicken wrist this summer. Moreover, for this summer, the watch is waterproof to 100M with a screwed crown, enough to be at ease for swimming
