The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date M049.526.17.041.00 brings a distinctive retro-inspired design into the modern era, combining the iconic TV-shaped case with contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Its striking blue dial features a horizontal brushed finish that catches the light beautifully, complemented by polished details and a distinctive oversized date display at 12 o’clock. Housed in a 316L stainless steel case measuring 40mm wide and 39.2mm long, this eye-catching timepiece is paired with a matching blue rubber strap for a sporty, coordinated finish. The result is a watch that stands apart from traditional designs, offering a confident blend of vintage character and modern sophistication.
At its heart is the MIDO Caliber 80 automatic movement, delivering an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours. The innovative Nivachron™ balance spring offers enhanced resistance to magnetic fields and shocks, supporting dependable performance for everyday wear. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating provides excellent dial visibility, while the transparent case back offers a view of the mechanical movement within. The practical big date complication ensures excellent legibility, and the screw-down crown helps provide water resistance to 100 metres (10 bar). Measuring approximately 11.5mm thick, the Multifort TV Big Date balances its distinctive proportions with comfortable wearability, making it an appealing choice for those who appreciate both design and mechanical craftsmanship.
