Mido Multifort Bicolor Watch

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.

Mido Multifort PVD Special Edition Chronograph Watch

How special is the Mido Multifort PVD Special Edition Chronograph? Pretty special. It looks really cool for the price. I've been a fan of the "new" Multifort (dumb name for about 50 years or more now) watch (in both three-hand and chronograph models), but this black with orange marker and hands edition is pretty cool. The orange is mostly all lume, and the design of the hour markers is very attractive. The watch has a satisfying combination of sportiness, utility, and cool avant garde style. At a price under $2,000 for a Swiss watch - that isn't too bad!

The case is 44mm wide in a PVD black coated steel case with a sapphire crystal (double AR coated). Water resistance is 100 meters and it comes on a comfy rubber strap. You can also get the watch is a more simple non-black, non orange version (but it wouldn't be as "Special"). The dial also features the look of Geneva stripes (cote de Geneve) that is a decoration usually reserved for movements. Speaking of which, the Mide Multifort Chronograph has a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement - pretty straight forward. Pretty cool and worth a look with a price of about $1,700 - $1,850.
