Launched in
1934, just two years after the completion of the Sydney
Harbour Bridge, the
Multifort collection shares some remarkable
characteristics with the famous structure: a perfect balance between
function and aesthetics. A truth that has stood the test of time, as
this year
Mido celebrates the
80th anniversary of
Multifort production,
making this one of the longest-produced collections in the history of
Swiss watchmaking.
The new
Multifort 80th Anniversary GMT
Edition will find a home on the wrist of every frequent traveller who
appreciates Swiss watchmaking expertise, as this supremely elegant model
is endowed with a second time zone. A moving, compartmentalized flange
displays the names of cities representing the world's 24 time zones. The
second time zone (T2) is set using the screw-in crown at 2 o’clock. The
small arrow-shaped hand, activated with the screw-in crown at 4
o’clock, shows the time in the T2 time zone following a 24-hour
graduated scale. These two crowns without doubt mark the unique design
and resolutely masculine character of this
GMT Edition.

A true invitation to travel, the
Multifort 80th Anniversary GMT Edition
has many attractive features. With a 42 mm diameter, its rose
PVD-treated steel case houses a dial subtly decorated with vertical
Geneva stripes. They evoke the suspender cables of the Sydney Harbour
Bridge, a symbol of architectural modernity in the early
1930s. The
touches of blued steel on the dial lend an extra touch of sophistication
to this model. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire
crystal, treated on both sides and offering perfect readability. The
aperture at 3 o’clock displays the date.

Both robust and chic, the
GMT Edition will appeal to all fine
watchmaking enthusiasts with its transparent case back through which the
finely decorated automatic movement can be admired, along with an
oscillating weight decorated with Geneva stripes and the
Mido logo. The
Multifort 80th Anniversary GMT Edition is water-resistant up to a
pressure of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft) and has a brown calf leather strap
fitted with a folding clasp in rose PVD-treated stainless steel.
The model is also available with a stainless steel case and bracelet.
