I don't know about you, but I love me a nice two-tone steel and gold watch. Brands like Rolex really made this look popular - but your average two-tone Rolex Submariner will cost you a very pretty penny. For that reason I am happy to see brands like Mido get on the two-tone band wagon. I've always liked the "new" Multifort watch design that debuted a few years ago. Now the sporty watch gets a bit of a "office desk" rework, with a 'bicolor' bracelet and case.

The gold elements on the bracelet links and bezel (as well as the crown and dial) are done in a pink gold toned PVD. This should be relatively wear resistant and will feature a nice high gloss finish. The case itself is 42mm wide in steel, and has a sapphire crystal. The dial of the watch has black hands and hour markers with the face being done in a Geneva stripes-like polish. The black is actually a dark SuperLumiNova luminant. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA 2836-2 automatic with the time, day, and date. All this comes in at under $1,000. Look for it soon.
