MIDO – MULTIFORT Caliber 80
A timepiece with a bold design
for motorsports enthusiasts
Just like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Multifort collection is synonymous with bold modernity. The latest addition to a collection that epitomises Mido’s expertise, the Multifort Caliber 80 will delight all those who enjoy a rush of adrenaline behind the wheel. Its anthracite dial is protected by a stainless steel case and is decorated with vertical Geneva stripes. Several touches of red – on the seconds hand and minute circle – highlight the watch’s fiery temperament and evoke the dashboard counters on a racing car. Fitted with a steel bracelet, this three-hand model houses a latest-generation movement: the Caliber 80, which gives it up to 80 hours of power reserve. Formidably accurate and uncompromisingly robust, the Multifort Caliber 80 is characterised by its distinguished design and will be at home on the wrists of all motorsports enthusiasts.
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 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.
