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.
The Multifort Caliber 80 is sporty at heart and is a timepiece designed for automotive performance. Featuring a robust case in satin-finished and polished stainless steel, it is impervious to knocks, jolts or high-speed spin-outs. The timepiece is fitted with the Caliber 80, an automatic movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking technology which, in addition to its formidable accuracy, endows the watch with 80 hours of power reserve – two reasons that are sure to delight all those who enjoy a rush of adrenaline behind the wheel. The anthracite dial adorning the Multifort Caliber 80 is decorated with vertical Geneva stripes and is protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. Meanwhile, its 42 mm diameter case is encircled by a black aluminium ring and the date is indicated in an aperture at 4.30. The indexes and hour and minute hands feature white Super-LumiNova® for enhanced legibility at night. Several touches of red – on the seconds hand and minute circle – highlight its fiery temperament and evoke the dashboard counters on a racing car.
A sport-chic model with a bold design, the Multifort Caliber 80 is fitted with a transparent case back that enables the wearer to admire its finely decorated automatic movement and its oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo. Water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bars (100 m/330 ft), it comes with a stainless steel bracelet fitted with a folding clasp.
Three other versions of the Multifort Caliber 80 are also available.
