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.

Both founded in the early 20th century, Mido and Horween share the same vision of excellence: authentic expertise born of long tradition, impeccable quality of materials and resolutely timeless products. 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.

This original model, designed for those in search of new horizons, comes with a sturdy 44mm case in stainless steel with aged and sandblasted black PVD treatment. The wide opening of the black dial is decorated with vertical Geneva stripes. It is also protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The large touches of beige Super-LumiNova® on the numerals, the skeleton hour and minute hands, and the tip of the seconds hand ensure perfect readability in all conditions. The date is displayed in an aperture at 6 o’clock.

Inspired by a Multifort of the 1940s, the Multifort Escape is Mido’s largest three-hand model. This special edition is supplied with two easily interchangeable Horween leather straps: the Essex, in brown genuine calfskin, whose patina will develop over time, with black stitching, and American Football in black genuine calfskin with beige stitching – the official leather used by Horween to manufacture American footballs for over 70 years. Both are fitted with a stainless steel pin buckle with aged and sandblasted black PVD treatment.

Yet behind its great elegance, the Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60 conceals a much sportier side. The timepiece is fitted with an automatic movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking innovation: the Caliber 60, which gives it up to 60 hours of power reserve. This characteristic is sure to appeal to all men who love sport and fine mechanical watchmaking. The transparent case back will enable them to endlessly admire the finely decorated movement, with its blued screws and an oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo.
