Eight angles, eight facets, a unique style. In the Multifort 8 One Crown, MIDO has created a visionary watch alive with urban energy. A geometric aesthetic and state-of-the-art watchmaking technology come together in a contemporary design built for the city.

The Multifort codes, from MIDO's oldest collection created in 1934, are clearly evident: the ultimate in robustness thanks to materials chosen for their excellence, such as stainless steel and Super-LumiNova®; a formidable mechanical precision heart in the Caliber 80 equipped with a shock-resistant and magnetism-resistant Nivachron™ balance spring. Because every urban adventure depends on perfect timing.

An impactful design

In an intense blue, the dial of the Multifort 8 One Crown is designed to excite. With its horizontal lines characteristic of this collection, it radiates infectious energy. The satin-finished and polished indexes and the tri-faceted hour and minute hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova® – ensuring perfect readability both day and night.

A practical yet discreet date window, in black on a white background, appears at 3 o'clock. The perfect display for exploring the everyday with elegance and efficiency, protected by a sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides. The other highlight of the show... The eight-sided bezel, the crown echoing this geometry on the side of the  satin-finished and polished steel case, and the play of light even on the case back, which also features eight sides.

For optimal reliability, the Multifort 8 One Crown can withstand a pressure of up to 10 bar (100 m/330 ft). Its satin-finished metal bracelet features a folding clasp and MIDO's quick-change system, a striking feature for a versatile style.

State-of-the-art technology

At the heart of the Multifort 8 One Crown beats the Caliber 80, delivering formidable precision. Its sublime mechanics are visible through the transparent case back, with the oscillating weight decorated with Côtes de Genève and engraved with the MIDO logo.

MIDO – MULTIFORT 8 Two Crowns Automatic

MIDOMULTIFORT 8 Two Crowns 40mm Black Dial Automatic - 2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Graphic power and technical precision

Rose gold-coloured, intense black, geometric and ultra-precise: the Multifort 8 Two Crowns perfectly illustrates MIDO’s technical and creative expertise. With its design built on the interplay of contrasts, shapes and state-of-the-art mechanics, it is a remarkable statement. Its faceted forms, combined with the Swiss brand’s unique know-how, embody a contemporary and distinctive horological vision.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The sleek lines of the Multifort 8 Two Crowns express a visual language, bathed in a warm rose gold-coloured glow. With its assertive character – featuring a striking octagonal bezel and horizontal decoration on the dial – and bold combination of materials in steel and rubber – the Multifort 8 Two Crowns represents a characterful and progressive kind of watchmaking. Two crowns evoke MIDO's rich watchmaking tradition – at four o'clock for setting the time, at two o'clock for activating the rotating flange and counting down the time. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The characteristic Multifort recessed indexes stand out against the matt black dial. Rose gold-coloured hands glide over this intense face. True to its philosophy, MIDO uses the finest materials, including white Super-LumiNova® for perfect readability both day and night.

An innovative and precise Swiss mechanical movement delivers the urban energy of the Multifort 8 Two Crowns. The Caliber 72 offers exceptional reliability thanks to its power reserve of up to 72 hours and its shock-resistant, non-magnetic balance spring cast in Nivachron™ alloy. Powerful, modern and robust, this watch transforms everyday life into unique moments.

The power of form

The Multifort 8 Two Crowns brings Multifort, created in 1934, into the contemporary era while reinterpreting its historical codes. The horizontal motif and recessed indexes – signature features of the collection – visually energise the matt black dial, creating a particularly arresting relief effect.

The rotating flange, marked with a white minute track, subtly embodies MIDO's watchmaking know-how. The rose gold-coloured accents on the hour and minute hands – highlighted with a white luminescent coating – and the seconds hand contrast with the black background. At 3 o'clock, the date is discreet and perfectly integrated into the design.

Entirely treated with rose gold-coloured PVD, the sophisticated yet robust case, forged from stainless steel, is topped with a striking octagonal bezel.

This warm tone imparts an unparalleled shine to the different surfaces – skilfully satin-finished and polished. The matt black rubber strap echoes the dial, not only in colour but also in its horizontal motif on a central band. 

Technical mastery

Powered by the Caliber 72, the Multifort 8 Two Crowns combines aesthetics and innovation. This Swiss automatic movement is visible through the transparent case back. Beyond its aesthetics, one of its major advantages is its reliability, which exceeds standards. Its precision performance is based in particular on a Nivachron™ balance spring.

This innovative alloy has been specially developed to withstand magnetic fields, temperature variations and shocks. In addition, the power reserve of up to 72 hours further enhances its reliability.

The vibrant, urban spirit of the Multifort 8 Two Crowns resonates to the rhythm of Swiss precision and expresses itself in contrasts: intense black, the flamboyant indulgence of its rose-gold colour and the graphic energy of its lines.

MIDO – COMMANDER 1959 Unique "Pixel" Dial


MIDO COMMANDER 1959 Unique Printed "Pixel" Dial Automatic 2025

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

 The icon that dares!

The Commander 1959 is iconic enough to embrace the most daring of ideas. MIDO has reinvented its face in an explosion of coloured "pixels", symbols of high-definition precision, and of a resolutely innovative vision. Pink, blue and, of course, luminescent, this vibrant interplay of squares gives the Commander 1959's unique dial a surprising twist. A playful aesthetic that combines perfectly with the charming retro codes and exceptional automatic Caliber 80 of this irresistible model.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The geometry of pixels truly symbolises the digital revolution. Fun and daring, the Pixel Art style is the quirky embodiment of this universe. This time, its playfulness lightss up the dial of a cult watch with a powerful identity: the Commander 1959. A myriad of squares in shades of blue and pink pop against the black background of the dial. At night, there is a surprise in store thanks to MIDO's signature phosphorescence. The coloured Super-LumiNova® comes alive to create a whole new face.

The roundness of the case and its wide opening onto the dial guarantees the perfect readability that is the collection's signature. This model is inspired by the original Commander, which the brand has been producing continuously since 1959. Retro elements such as the Milanese mesh bracelet and acrylic crystal create a striking contrast with the contemporary dial.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The fully polished monocoque case – the pinnacle of water-resistance at the time – has a versatile diameter of 37 mm, topped by a minimalist bezel. Its mechanical heart beats to the rhythm of MIDO's watchmaking expertise, thanks to the ultra-reliable and innovative Caliber 80, fitted with a non-magnetic Nivachron™ balance spring. A new version of the legend is born: a joyful fusion of past and future, and proof of its ability to transcend time. 

"Pixellated" for the better!

The face of the timeless Commander 1959 has been transformed into a 21st century phenomenon. The meticulous arrangement of pixels printed on the dial's black background creates a geometric cloud. Even in the dark, the watch reveals its playful, luminous pink and blue face. The display remains clearly readable, enhanced by the brilliance of the diamond-cut hands and polished indexes. Natural colour Super-LumiNova® on the hour and minute hands and on the 12 dots around the polished flange ensures optimum readability, even at night.

The monocoque case of this watch, in fully polished stainless steel, evokes the softness of a pebble. It is topped by a slim, streamlined bezel. The lines extend to the iconic Milanese mesh bracelet, which is extremely comfortable and supple. The acrylic crystal hot-stamped with the MIDO logo is another retro touch which adds vibrant reflections to this special edition.

Driven by watchmaking expertise

At the heart of the Commander 1959 lies the exceptional Caliber 80. Concealed by the case, its oscillating weight is finely decorated with Côtes de Genève and the engraved MIDO logo. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This component oscillates to the rhythm of the wrist's movements, "automatically" replenishing the caliber's energy. Its high level of reliability is ensured by a power reserve of up to 80 hours, and by the Nivachron™ balance spring. This high-tech alloy offers remarkable resistance to magnetism, temperature variations, and shocks. Presented in an exclusive box, this attractive, elegant 1959 Commander is the perfect piece for lovers of exceptional watches.

With its pyrotechnic explosion of pink and blue pixels and irresistible vintage lines, the new 1959 Commander offers a thrilling way to experience time!

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

 Dive into the legend!

After four successful versions, the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 from MIDO is back, paying homage once again to its original 1961 model, the Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch. In a glossy black case contrasting with the bright hues of its legendary multicoloured decompression scale, this limited edition of 1961 pieces perfectly combines intensity and irresistible vintage allure. Attention connoisseurs!

In 2020, MIDO made history. The brand, a pioneer in water resistance since the 1930s, reissued the famous Ocean Star Skin Diver Watch from 1961. This watch, extremely popular with divers at the time, made it easy to read decompression stops, thanks to a multicoloured table that quickly became legendary. 


The 1961 Ocean Star Decompression Timer has been reinterpreted using top-quality materials and cutting-edge technologies, and has remained faithful to its unique original aesthetic, being successfully renewed over several editions in 2020, 2021 and 2023.  

 

 1961 Ocean Star Skin Diver Powerwind 1000 “Rainbow” ref. 5907

This year, MIDO is unveiling a new, highly exclusive limited series of the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 with an intense black PVD-treated polished steel case. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This sporty model continues to assert its strong historical codes linked to the underwater world: multicoloured table, unidirectional rotating bezel, "glassbox" style sapphire crystal reminiscent of the old Plexiglas, and a size of 40.5 mm – a modest diameter, just like in the old days.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO


The Caliber 80, an exceptionally reliable mechanism, can count on an enviable power reserve of up to 80 hours and a high-tech Nivachron™ balance spring. The back is engraved with the symbol of the Ocean Star collection, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary: the starfish, a reminder of MIDO's expertise in water resistance.

Three interchangeable bracelets – shiny black Milanese mesh steel, leather, and rubber – each add a different touch to the model. The cutting-edge performance and vintage appeal echo the spirit of the exhilarating dives of the sixties.

Black and colour

Inspirational and multicoloured, the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 will brighten up any wrist with its seductive allure. On the black background of the dial, MIDO deploys the vivid shades of the decompression scale on the original model – a nod intended not to replace modern diving instruments, but to perpetuate the captivating aesthetics of yesteryear.

Yellow, green, pink and blue, a table with coloured circles indicates the recommended stops. The characteristic unidirectional rotating bezel with aluminium ring counts down the elapsed time, thanks to a generous luminescent dot that serves as a marker. On a watch like this, legibility is crucial, whether in the sunshine or in the depths.

Super-LumiNova® is used for the diamond-cut and faceted hour and minute hands and the polished indexes. A detail exuding powerful historical charm, the vintage MIDO logo is a polished applique on the black dial, and engraved on the back, crown and bracelet clasps. A “glassbox” style crystal offers effective protection for the dial and reinforces the vintage look of the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961.

For added sparkle and character, MIDO has completely polished the case of the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961, which is crafted from solid stainless steel. A black PVD treatment gives it an intense shine.

The screw-down crown and screw-on case back – a signature of the Ocean Star collection –  further enhance the watch's resilience, ensuring remarkable water resistance of up to 200 metres.

At the heart of the case, the formidable Caliber 80 offers excellent reliability, thanks to its power reserve of up to 80 hours. Its highly robust Nivachron™ balance spring is exceptionally resistant to magnetism and shocks.

This box contains a limited edition certificate and a set of three bracelets: black PVD-treated polished stainless steel Milanese mesh, semi-gloss blue textured rubber, and black genuine calfskin leather, with stitching in the colours of the dial table. A tool-free easy-change system means you can vary your look to suit the occasion.
