MIDO – MULTIFORT Escape Horween Special Edition

MIDO – MULTIFORT Escape Horween Caliber 80 Black Steel 44 mm Special Edition

Forging links between Horween and Mido

After the success of the first Multifort made with Horween leather in 2015, Mido and the prestigious American brand have renewed their fruitful collaboration by launching a new model: the Multifort Escape Horween Special Edition. Combining the best of Swiss watchmaking with leather from one of the most renowned tanners, this timepiece creates a link between two companies who share the same values of quality, tradition and timelessness. Boasting a robust 44mm stainless steel case with aged and sandblasted black PVD treatment, the Multifort Escape Horween Special Edition is perfectly suited to every occasion, thanks to its two easily interchangeable Horween leather straps. The first is in brown genuine calfskin while the second is in black genuine calfskin, American football-style. And that’s not all: on the technical side, the watch is equipped with the Caliber 80, an automatic movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking innovation, providing up to 80 hours of power reserve. The Multifort Escape Horween Special Edition is designed for those who want to escape the daily grind and seek new horizons.

Launched in 1934, two years after the Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed, the Multifort collection shares the structure’s remarkable qualities – a perfect blend of functionality and beauty. A truth that has stood the test of time, as Mido celebrated the 80th anniversary of Multifort production in 2014, making this emblematic collection one of the longest-produced series in the history of Swiss watchmaking.

After the first successful collaboration in 2015 with the launch of a Multifort with a Horween leather strap, a limited edition for the US market, the two brands have furthered their fruitful partnership with the launch of the Multifort Escape Horween Special Edition.
