MIDO 50's / MULTIFORT

Introducing the 1950s Mid-Century "Multifort".

The Multifort was introduced in 1934.
It was an advanced model for its time, combining an automatic movement with magnetic resistance, water resistance, and shock resistance.

It became a bestseller for Mid-Century from the 1930s through the 1950s and was developed as one of the brand's signature collections.
The watch we are introducing today is a 1950s model from the era when the Multifort was widely popular.

■ Dial and Case Design

The black dial is accented by comical Arabic numerals outlined in orange.
The outer edge features five-minute numerals and fine markings, with minute markings also arranged inside.
The combination of wide hour and minute hands with a red second hand creates a striking black, orange, and red color scheme.

The case is round and has a substantial thickness. Despite its small size, it makes a strong presence on the wrist.
The wide lugs taper toward the ends, and the large, deeply grooved crown is also a distinctive feature.
The unique dial and thick case create a powerful impression characteristic of the Multifort.

■ Movement

The automatic mechanism uses a half-rotor system, where a semi-circular weight oscillates back and forth within a certain range in response to arm movement.
When the weight reaches one end, it strikes a spring inside the case, using the resulting recoil to wind the mainspring.

This reciprocating motion, which differs from systems where the weight rotates fully around the center, is also one of this watch's highlights.
The movement is marked with "17 Jewels".

■ Styling

The case size is 35.6 mm (H) (including lugs) / 30.5 mm (W) (including crown) / 12 mm (T) / 30 g (including strap)

The orange numerals and red second hand add an accent to your outfit, so pairing the watch with a plain shirt or knitwear will make its color scheme stand out.
It is also easy to pair with denim or a work jacket, making it a piece that allows you to enjoy individuality on your wrist with casual outfits.

adjusting the watch to a state of approximately ±1 minute per day.
We will also send our store's original OH certificate, as well as photos of the movement disassembled
