Mido Multifort Skeleton Chronograph with skeletonized structure
Model: black case, skeletonized dial and orange accents M038.662.37.050.00
The history of Mido began more than a century ago, and since then, the Swiss brand has approached the art of watchmaking with a focus on functionality. The Multifort family is one of Mido's most successful and distinctive series, with industrial art-inspired design, sublime proportions, and technical solutions that focus on precision.
This concept is also followed by the Multifort Skeleton Chronograph, which features a skeletonized dial and bright orange details. The 43-millimeter stainless steel case, combining satin-finished and polished surfaces, has been coated with black PVD, which defines the watch's aesthetics and protects it from everyday wear and tear. PVD, or physical vapor deposition, is a process in which a wear-resistant layer is formed on the surface in a deep vacuum.
Despite its large size, the watch has a light feel, thanks in large part to its clean, striking silhouette. One of the watch's distinctive features is the sapphire crystal glass protecting the dial and the back cover, which is treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides. This ensures that the uplifting sight of the mechanism in operation can be enjoyed without compromise.
There are three subdials on the dial: the chronograph minute counter at 3 o'clock, the chronograph hour counter at 6 o'clock, and the seconds counter at 9 o'clock. The bright orange color accompanies several of the watch's key features, such as the tachymeter scale on the edge of the dial, but the central chronograph seconds hand also receives the same visual emphasis.
The transparent dial also reveals the mysteries of the new skeletonized movement, dubbed Caliber 60. The movement boasts a power reserve of up to 60 hours, giving its wearer autonomy that fits well with the rhythm of everyday life. The hairspring made of Nivachron titanium alloy used in the movement offers significant advantages over traditional solutions in terms of resistance to magnetic fields, temperature fluctuations, and shocks. Another highlight of the movement is the skeletonized oscillating weight, which further enhances the technical prestige of the watch. Mido guarantees water resistance to a pressure of 10 bar/100 meters.
The aesthetics of the Multifort Skeleton Chronograph clearly draws inspiration from competitive sports, as evidenced by its deep black PVD case, striking orange accents, and dial reminiscent of a measuring instrument. A less noticeable but nonetheless defining feature of the watch is the play of light created by the alternation of polished and brushed surfaces.
The aesthetics of the Multifort Skeleton Chronograph is for those who are looking for a sporty, distinctive high-tech chronograph with a striking appearance that conceals a genuine, tangible feat of engineering. For those who value everyday wearability and precision, but don't want to compromise on an unconventional design, and who are attracted to motorsport-inspired aesthetics, the black and orange Multifort Skeleton Chronograph is the perfect choice.
