Mido is celebrating 20 years of passion for architecture with the launch of the fourth model in a series of five. The Mido Multifort Inspired By Architecture 20th anniversary edition embodies robustness and reliability, the defining characteristics of the Swiss brand’s oldest collection.

Created in 2002, the All Dial collection was the first to evoke one of the most famous monuments of ancient Rome in its design: the immense Colosseum amphitheatre. Ever since, the art of architecture has been written into the creative DNA of Mido and has influenced all of its collections.

The robust Multifort references the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On its characteristic dial, Geneva stripes recall the bridge’s suspension cables.

Its anthracite dial decorated with Geneva stripes recalling the suspension cables on the Harbour Bridge also depicts the bridge in black Super-LumiNova®. In the dark, its lines appear in green lume to match the indexes and hour and minute hands, which are also luminescent.

In the daytime, the light plays on the surfaces of the faceted hour and minute hands and the polished indexes, which stand out against the deep shade of the dial.

An aperture at 3 o’clock displays the day and date, a very useful everyday function. Finely crafted from steel – with alternating satin-finished and polished surfaces for greater elegance – this new Multifort perfectly encapsulates the collection’s DNA. Fitted with a screwed crown, the watch has water-resistance up to 100 m.

The Caliber 80 provides up to 80 hours of power reserve. The case back of this anniversary model is engraved with a drawing of the Sydney Harbour Bridge that inspired it.

A special presentation box decorated with a medallion houses each watch. It is a limited edition of 1,932 pieces – a reference to the year in which the bridge was opened.
