Like a jazz musician riffing on a classic standard, Mido has taken its 1930s Multifort blueprint and improvised something thrillingly contemporary. The latest act? Three skeletonized chronographs that don't just tell time - they perform it, with the precision of a Swiss metronome and the visual drama of a Broadway stage.
The 43mm cases wear their dimensions like a tailored tuxedo - substantial without shouting. Polished steel (or stealth-black PVD) forms a three-piece exoskeleton, while sapphire crystals front and back turn each watch into a miniature horological aquarium. That screw-down crown at 3 o'clock? Think of it as the conductor's baton for the mechanical orchestra inside.
Mido's designers have crafted dials that would make even a Swiss cheese jealous of their holes. The blue variant shimmers like midnight on Lake Geneva, while the anthracite model whispers in sophisticated grayscale. But the black PVD version? That's the James Bond option - all shadow and sudden orange flashes, like brake lights disappearing into a Monaco tunnel.
Beneath those skeletonized dials ticks the Caliber 60 - an automatic movement that's essentially the horological equivalent of a Swiss Army knife. Anti-magnetic? Check. Shock-resistant? Naturally. The skeletonized rotor pirouettes like a ballet dancer, revealing bridges finished with the precision of a Stradivarius violin.
Water resistance to 100 meters means these watches laugh in the face of rainstorms, while the 60-hour power reserve ensures they'll keep ticking through a long weekend. The chronograph function operates with the crisp precision of a German sedan's gearshift.
Each model wears its strap like a bespoke suit:
These aren't just watches - they're mechanical charisma encased in steel. The Multifort skeleton chronographs prove that sometimes, seeing the gears turn makes the experience all the sweeter.
