The brand designed their first cushion shaped watches in the 1970s – completely apt, as the “TV  shaped” watch was very much in vogue at that time. The last time it was used was in a commemorative model in 2000, and the latest release from Mido is the modern version of the TV style, with improvements to movement components that make it an amazing everyday companion. The case measures in at a healthy 40mm, with its brushed and polished surfaces giving it great wrist presence, but retaining a sense of refinement. A thickness of 11mm gives a good height for smart casual occasions. The crown guards also give the Multifort TV Big Date a feeling of sportiness, which also includes a screw down crown – another feature that makes this a great everyday wearer.

The dial comes in three variations, all with an attractive gradient dial – grey, green and blue dials complete the trio of releases of the Multifort TV Big Date. On first impressions, the dial is incredibly symmetrical, and usually in a watch at this price point will typically have a date window that breaks this symmetry.

In the Multifort TV Big Date, however, a big date indicator can be found at 12 o’clock, with its two windows blending into the positions that a 12 o’clock marker might usually take.

To accentuate the sporty feel of the watch, hour markers filled with luminescent material denote the hours and minutes. Bracelet and rubber strap models are available, with the bracelet sporting a brushed and polished finish, and the rubber strap echoing the design of the bracelet, fastened with a pin buckle.

Housed within the stainless steel case is a variant of Mido’s calibre 80 – in line with Swatch Group’s Powermatic 80 movement, it has an 80 hour power reserve, with an added big date function. The watch also contains a Nivachron balance spring that gives it exceptional magnetic field resistance, being a titanium based spring.

All of these features, and its rugged good looks were unveiled at the Mido Multifort TV Big Date Launch Event held in Bangkok last month, attended by Korean Actor Kim Soo Hyun. Having been a Mido Ambassador since 2020, he’s a great addition to the stable of partners and ambassadors, with his broad appeal.

We see this as a multi-faceted approach to the way that they communicate, appealing to the masses through a popular ambassador, as well as providing compelling product that will appeal to a more enthusiast crowd.

Mido’s roll of affordable, handsome watches continues on with the Multifort TV Big Date – something that is perfect for a first watch for a graduate. For the budding watch enthusiast, it gives enough compelling functionality in terms of its power reserve, anti-magnetic protection and its vintage design to be a fantastic complement to any collection.

New for this 2023 edition is a true GMT function where the hour hand can be manipulated independently from the red GMT hand; as well as a 24 city world time function that is calibrated on the unidirectional bezel. Hence, it is not only a unique dive watch but also a great travel watch all rolled into one. For these functions to sit so well together on a well made, charismatically designed watch (that invokes design codes of the original 60’s watch) – makes for, in my humble opinion, a huge value proposition, especially at the retail price (in Singapore) of SGD 1,870. 

A quick recap of what the 2020/21 Decompression Timer 1961 is needed here. At heart the original watch and its modern update is a dive watch plus decompression timer which is laid out on the dial. It features a monocoque case for extreme water tightness;  and the patented Aquadura system which refers to the winding stem and gasket which are lined with Natural Cork to protect the winding stem as well as provide another layer of protection from water ingress. In the 2021 edition, the outer bezel is calibrated to help track dive times. 

Every distinctive dive watch manufacturer has focussed on an original solution to the challenges of diving – that often has become a defining feature of the watch design. This often headlines the watch story as well. Examples include Rolex’s oyster case combined with the screw down crown, Omega’s ( and Rolex’s Sea Dweller) distinctive helium escape valve and Panerai’s patented crown locking system amongst others.

Let’s take a closer look here at the solutions offered with the Mido Ocean Seastar GMT. The first standout feature is the Decompression Table laid out on the dial. There are four concentric bands in different colours (for easy identification) encircling the clock face within. At the 12 O’clock position is a strip identifying what each band stands for: namely 25/30/35/40 in metres on the left and equivalent depth in feet on the right. 

There are two functions that can be read from the table. Firstly if you wanted to know the maximum amount of time you could spend at each depth before needing a decompression stop, look for the 0 on each band. For example, if you were to be at 40 meters, the 0 indicated on the accompanying blue band would tell you that you could spend 10 minutes before needing a decompression stop. At 35 metres, the time would be 12 minutes etc. 

Secondly it can tell how much time to spend on decompression after diving at a certain depth after a duration of time. For example, if you were diving at a depth of 25m for 40 minutes, looking at the yellow band, at the 40 minute mark,  it corresponds to the 5 which means that you decompress for 5 minutes. 

(Editor: Check out our video of the 2021 release – the Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 if you’d like a more detailed explanation of the history of the line and the decompression timer aspect of the watches.)

The watch is water resistant to 200m and is powered by the GMT Caliber 80.661 with a power reserve of 80 hours. 

The 2023 edition now adds a 24 hour GMT scale and hand; and a world timer function that is read from the bezel. The hour, minute and GMT hands are lumed; as well as the hour markers and the 12 o’clock pip on the world timer bezel. On top of this rich feature set, is also a date function; plus a domed sapphire glass crystal for that mid century tool watch vibe!! 

It would seem that such a tremendous amount of information on the watch would be hard to read. Mido seems to have this problem solved. Each function is manifested as a point of focus for the user either through the use of colour and design; or placement on the watch. On land or in the air, the 24 hour GMT dial, for example, lies outside the decompression timer and is laced in the same green-beige colour as the hour lume plots. This privileges the world traveler who can use the GMT functions in the dim interior of a plane cabin or airport lights at odd times of the day. 

The watch’s ‘True” GMT function is significant as it is rare to access this function as such a price point. Offerings at similar price level usually use movements like ETA 2893-2 and Valjoux 7754 which allow only operation of the 24 hour hand, which is more useful when one is not travelling – the 24 hour hand is adjusted to track time in another location when one is at home, for zoom calls with colleagues, for eg. Mido’s Caliber GMT 80.661, the movement powering this watch, allows the hour hand to be adjusted easily to the local time via the crown as one travels to a different location; leaving the 24 hour hand to keep home time constant. Hence the hour, minute and seconds hands change to the local time conveniently, depending on where you travel to. This ‘true’ or ‘real’ GMT functionality normally exist in the in-house movements offered by Rolex, Tudor, Omega or Grand Seiko, all of which come in at the next price tier and above.

Out of the water, the decompression timer fades into the background but does double duty as its colourful and charismatic codes adds to the fun and unique presence of the watch. The world time bezel works in complementary fashion with the GMT functions and because it is on the bezel, isolates its functionality from the underwater functions. This is such an visually appealing and versatile design as it is effectively read on the ground, in the air and underwater – without overlaps that can cause confusion. Somehow it blends together as a wholly attractive and usable package.

The watch is solidly built, feels good to the hand and is comfortable wearing on the wrist. Mido reprises the new versions of the two popular colour options in the 2020/2021 editions – one with a black and shades of organ for the Decompression Timer colour range (my personal preference);  or navy blue on the bezel with pastel shades of yellow, light blue, pink and green for the Decompression Timer.

It can sometimes be a hit and miss affair when a brand recreates a modern version of a watch from their archives. For something to really gel, there has to be a perfect storm of the right ingredients, which is how I would characterise the new turquoise bezel variant of the Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 from Mido.

First launched last year to big success, the first version of the modern Decompression Timer 1961 was just such a watch with many of the pieces already spoken for by the time it landed at dealers worldwide.

That version came with a black bezel and a black dial, unlike this year’s (2021) version that comes with a more charismatic turquoise aluminium bezel. It matches perfectly with the matching turquoise fabric strap that comes as part of the limited edition set (1961 pieces) which includes a mesh bracelet and a strap in light brown leather with patina finishing.

The original inspiration behind these watches however is the original Decompression Timer of 1961 which was a watch that contained quite a few technical features that made it useful and sought after as a diving tool. The most obvious was the fact that it had a decompression scale on the dial, which was a useful thing to have while dive planning or in an emergency situation.

The other key features of that watch were the monocoque case construction which eliminated the case and thus a point of water intrusion, as well as the, innovative for its time, “Aquadura” gasket system made out of natural cork, that protected the winding stem.

The appeal of these watches is simple to understand. The dial contains colourful elements that on first glance you might think are aesthetically driven, until you realize that they are there to aid in its primary function, being a useful tool for a diver. It essentially takes the most important elements of a diving decompression table and lays it out on the tiny space of a watch dial. If you’re a diver, you’ll probably understand what’s going on quite quickly, since you can find out, at various depths (calibrated in metres of feet), what the no-compression times are. Similarly, you can find out how long your safety stop should be, if you happen to exceed these times.

While divers in our current era will see this dial mounted decompression scale as an anachronism, given that they would be using dive computers anyway, it remains a useful backup. Non-divers will however be able to find that the colours of this functional tool are utterly charming, lending a cool retro vibe to a watch that manages to remain extremely faithful to its inspiration.

The Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 comes with a useful 80 hour power reserve, courtesy of Caliber 80 (Caliber 80.621), 200 metres of water resistance and as mentioned before, three strap options which should make it an all-rounder for most occasions.

OCEAN STAR DECOMPRESSION TIMER 1961 Ø40.5 LIMITED EDITION 2021 WITH SILVER DIAL

Movement: Caliber 80 (Caliber 80.621) – Up to 80 hours Power reserve Date at 3 o’clock

Case: 40.5mm wide, 13.43mm thick, Full polished stainless steel case with rotating bezel and a Turquoise-Blue aluminium ring with Beige Super-Luminova® dot at 12h, Sapphire “Glassbox” cyrstal, Caseback with stamped seastar logo, Screw-down crown , 200m (20bar) water resistance.

Dial: Silver-white matt dial with applied indexes filled in Beige Super-Luminova® and Original MIDO logo applied

1961 Limited Edition Sets including a Stainless steel polished mesh bracelet + 2 additional straps, Turquoise-Blue fabric strap with stainless steel pin buckle and Light Brown leather with “Patina” finishing. Stainless steel pin buckle – All 3 bracelets with quick release springbars

Aside from giving a little bit of a shine to the appearance of the watch via its reflective nature, they offer the benefit of being scratch resistant. This helps in maintaining the look of the watch over time, since the bezel is the part of the watch that is the most prone to scuffs and knocks.

The new Mido Ocean Star 200C joins this ongoing trend, with the “C” in the name standing for ceramic. While the rest of the ingredients are familiar, the use of a ceramic bezel does elevate the on-wrist presence of the watch, giving everything a more luxurious feel. This might have been the reason why Mido chose to use polished center links in the bracelet, since the overall effect, while masculine and toolish, does have a touch of elegance as well.

Three colour variations are offered, with the hero model in green, a blue version that has the feel of the Bond version of the Omega Seamaster Professional 300, as well as a quirky and not often seen grey version.

It’s obvious that the green is the hero model, since green is all the rage these days. The tone of this green is somewhat dark, the colour of mature leaves on trees in a rainforest, though it is still visibly recognizable even under low light. The blue variation reminds me a lot of the Pierce Brosnan Omega Seamaster Bond watch, and the resemblance is even more striking when you consider the wave pattern engraving on their dials.

The grey version is what I would consider the oddball of the bunch. It’s an off-beat colour, and not often seen on a dive watch. Although the colour does make the watch have something of a Bauhaus character about it.

At 42.5mm wide and 11.75mm thick, the watch has great presence, as well as good comfort given the relative slimness of the case. Round the back is an engraving of a star-fish, which is the symbol of the Ocean Star line.

Of note is the diver’s extension on the bracelet that is unlike a typical one on most diver watches, in which a fixed link is hidden in the clasp that can be pulled out. The one on the Mido Ocean Star 200C has a ratcheting mechanism that can be micro-adjusted up to 20mm, which means that it can be extended all the way for the watch to be worn over a wetsuit, or that it can be adjusted to any length in between, for ergonomic comfort should your wrist swell in hot weather.

This feature alone is worth its weight in gold in a watch like this, since not many brands allow such a large degree of micro-adjustability of the bracelet. Topped off with the Calibre 80 movement that comes with a very healthy 80-hour power reserve, what is on offer with the Mido Ocean Star 200C is what Mido as a brand has been known for offering all this while – tremendous value.

After getting to know the ins and outs of the watch industry for so long, it can sometimes be difficult to justify the prices of some of the more expensive ones around, especially so when the main features are offered at a much lower price, as in the case with this new Mido here.

Now with a ceramic bezel, and a solid feature set for the relatively affordable price of SGD$1590, it makes a good argument that sometimes all you really need is actually very attainable, and that the premium one pays for other watches is usually the cachet of a more up-market brand.

A well priced diving watch that is a complete package of looks and function, in celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Ocean Star collection, that was first launched in 1944. 

When Nostalgia Works

I have generally been against the trend of watch brands trawling their archives to release vintage styled watches. In many ways, this backward looking tendency feels a little overdone, and one can only take so much nostalgia. Occasionally however, a watch comes along with a design from the past that works so well that such thoughts can be overlooked, given the smile that appears on my face. 

This new for 2019 Ocean Star Tribute from Mido is just such a watch that has made me shelve my misgivings,  given how it has quite a number of things going for it. In sum, in the short time that I spent with it, I found it a complete package that is suitable for anyone looking for an attractive, well specced watch for a decent price, that can conceivably be worn for just about anything.

It is a diving watch obviously with a rotatable bezel with aluminium insert, polished case and mounted on a period correct (60’s) polished bracelet that comes with a convenient diving extension. The best thing about the watch, aside from its looks, has to be the 40.5mm sized stainless steel case, which is basically perfect in my view. I’ve always felt that most diving watches these days are too big, and while they are impressive on the wrist, and ooze a macho attitude, they don’t really function well for everyday life. Their size invariably means that they get knocked into things easily, and they can be heavy enough to be noticeable. 

For that, 40.5mm (and thereabouts) is that sweet spot size. I feel that this Ocean Star Tribute, in being the size that it is, takes a leaf out of the sports Rolex playbook, which has kept most of its core sports models at 40mm in size. The polished case of the Mido as well, because of its size, doesn’t feel over the top or obnoxious, which can be the tendency for watches that are polished and bigger. The next best thing about the Ocean Star Tribute? The vintage styled dome sapphire crystal, which introduces some distortion of the dial features close to the edge, which is just such a charming thing. 

Finally the movement it contains, is Mido’s own Calibre 80, which I have mentioned before, with its 80 hours of power reserve, is basically an advantage any way you look at it.

Mido Multifort Chronometer One

The Ocean Star Tribute comes in two variations. My preference as shown in the pictures is the black version, because that’s the kind of old school guy that I am. The other, that is pictured below and is also featured in the video above comes in a striking shade of Mediterranean blue, which is simply mesmerising. Both watches are available on the bracelet, and comes with a matching strap – blue technical fabric with white stitching or textile-look black rubber and orange stitching.

All in all, it’s hard not to recommend this watch for its looks, technical characteristics, and all-round wearability. Its definitely one of the best releases from Mido this year!

[ninja_tables id=”3235″]

This is a situation that cannot be helped since the two off-the-shelf movements that are available, the ETA 2893-2 and the Valjoux 7754 (with chronograph) accomplishes the GMT function in this way via the use of a module.

Comparatively speaking then, these watches are really only good for using to track a foreign timezone when one is not travelling, since one can see the 24-hour hand pointing at the target time zone and easily adjust for a different one at easily.

Use that same watch when travelling however and it becomes a tedious process if you want to keep home time tracked by the 24-hour hand and local time to the hour and minute hands, with each individual item needing to be adjusted one by one.By contrast, a ‘real’ GMT watch works by allowing the hour hand (or local time) to be adjusted easily via the crown, and you can imagine how much better this works while travelling, since your home time, as displayed by the 24 hour hand is kept constant while your local time, shown by the main hour and minute hands will change depending on where you travel to.

On the market right now, there are not many ‘real’ GMT movements available, and those that exist are almost almost in-house ones found in the big brands such as Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Breitling and Seiko. These by necessity have been in-house movements and are of course relatively more expensive than the faux ETA based ones. So what is one to do if one wants a GMT watch that comes under $2000 USD?

Well, you go to Mido, who has released this year in 2019, a watch that is, I am quite certain, the most affordable real GMT one on the market, the Mido Multifort Dual Time, coming in at an attainable SGD$1,590 or $1,650 depending on the material.

The Mido Multifort Dual Time should get the attention of those looking for a “proper” GMT, or one with the quickset hour hand.

In fact I had long been resigned to the fact that one had to spend a minimum of $5,000 USD and above to get one and I almost didn’t believe that this Mido had a quickest hour hand until I pulled the crown out to try it for myself. In the first position, one can set the date, in the second position, you can set the quickest hour hand, forwards or backwards and with the date adjusting accordingly and in the third position, you set the time. (see the video above)

How it does this is via a module stacked on top of the brand’s Caliber 80, a movement with a very useful 80 hour power reserve and a date function. Of course, you lose some extras found in other similarly priced Mido watches, such as a Silicon balance spring and a Chronometer rating (à la the Mido Chronometer One), but for what you pay versus the functionality, it is a good deal indeed.The second time zone in this watch is indicated with a 4th hand though an appliqué centred in the dial, and the large Geneva Stripes add some polish to the design and a nice background for excellent readability. Three versions of the watch are available with my favourite being the one with the black PVD stainless steel case and on a black leather strap. The other two are a little dresser, with one version being a rose gold tone PVD in stainless steel on a brown leather strap and the other being a stainless steel cased blue dial version on a bracelet.

Mido Multifort Chronometer One

All in all, like other Mido watches, the Multifort Dual Time offers tremendous value and now especially with the offer of a real GMT complication at an affordable price. Maybe this is a watch to consider having on on your wrist on your next travel adventure!

A Silicon Equipped Mido

The Multifort Chronometer One continues the tradition of Mido and the brand’s penchant for making Chronometer watches (more on that later), but adds something new, in that it is the first Mido watch to use the new Caliber 80 Si. Based on the brand’s Caliber 80 (see video below for an interesting look at the movement manufacturing process), whose headline feature was its industry defying 80 hour power reserve, this new calibre adds an important element whose clue is in the name. “Si” is the chemical symbol for silicon, and it is a material that the balance spring of this new caliber is made.

What are the advantages of silicon? For one, it is extremely smooth and hard, requiring no lubrication. This helps in so many ways since friction is the bane of watches. With a material such as silicon that is able to resist friction effectively, there is less wear and tear on the movement, allowing it to become more efficient overall in its operation. Also, silicon possess another important property that is useful in our modern world as it is anti-magnetic. This means that it is unaffected by the increasingly common and pervasive magnetic fields from the electronics that surround us in our daily lives, allowing accuracy of timekeeping to be preserved.

Lastly from a manufacturing perspective, a silicon balance spring can be made very precisely, using a high-tech process known as DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching). This ensures that it can be made perfectly within specification, and it works with repeatable consistent results.

What results overall in the use of this new movement are real advantages to the performance of the watch that cannot be denied. With improved timekeeping, shock resistance, and imperviousness to magnetism coming to the more affordable segment of watches of which Mido is a part, it stands to reason that these benefits will accrue to more people. Certainly these watches stand apart from others with “regular” non-silicon balance spring equipped movements, and might be the differentiating factor for those who are looking to buy a watch with such advantages.

Multifaceted Multifort

In terms of the dial design of the Chronometer One, all of them have what the brand calls as “Geneva Stripes” that run vertically down the dial. As far as I can tell, this naming scheme is accurate, as the stripes do shimmer as the watch is seen from different angles, just like they do when you see Geneva stripes on movements.The Chronometer One also thankfully comes in a couple of variations that allow for a different tastes to be catered for, all the better to have these good base ingredients dressed in a manner that is suitable for your life.  The prettiest version of the watch has to be the one with a case in black PVD which comes in two variations of rubber strap, with the insert being either black with beige stitching or beige with black stitching. Matching this colour scheme are the beige Super-LumiNova® hands that allow easy reading of the time in the dark.

While these are the sportiest variations, there are others that are more conservative and austere, such as this one with a white dial and a black leather strap (shown below), and its slightly warmer toned twin, with a white dial, rose gold PVD case and brown leather strap.  Then there are three variations on bracelet, one with a black dial and another in white, and lastly, one more in two toned retro glory (stainless steel and rose gold PVD) with white dial as shown below. These have oyster-style bracelets that match with the Multifort aesthetic.On the wrist, the 42mm wide case of the Chronometer One has a good presence, with the thin bezel making the dial look expansive thus enabling easy reading of the time. That along with a relatively thin case makes for a watch that easily fits under a shirt cuff, yet be large enough to look good with casual attire.The versatility of the Chronometer One is extended further, with a set of features that combine to make it perfect as an everyday watch. Courtesy of the Caliber 80 Si movement, we have an 80 hour power reserve, a feature that is only useful once you experience the joy of being able to put down and pick up your watch at will (within the 80 hour or 3 and a third day limit) and have it continue to run without needing to adjust the time. It’s important to mention how liberating this is, as even one seasoned watch writer I knew (although not a very good one) was unable to see this as a benefit without having it explained to him properly at length.

That movement of course, comes with the aforementioned advantages of silicon plus a day and date complication, ever useful and demanded by non-purists of watches because it just so so practical to have this information always available on the wrist.Rounding up the features of the Chronometer One – the presence of a screw down crown and 100 metre water resistance. While not matching up to the diving oriented Ocean Star collection that have screw down crowns and an appropriate water resistance level of at least 200 metres, it does match up to some models in the All Dial collection. However, the Chronometer One, which is part of the Multifort collection, and inspired by the Sydney Harbour Bridge, betters almost all the watches in the rest of Mido’s lineup, including the Baronocelli, Commander and Belluna collections. This is understandable since they are more dress oriented, having not more than 50 metres of water resistance and non screw down crowns.

What this means is that the Multifort Chronometer One occupies that ideal middle ground, being an everyday watch that can take a little bit of rough handling in its stride, with the occasional shower or dunking underwater, while being able to be somewhat dressy if the occasion demands it. How perfect is that?What else? Well I like the long seconds hand that reaches to the edge of the dial, as it practically asks you to test its chronometer rated accuracy. Combine that with a view of the movement through the sapphire case-back, and you get something that you can basically wear and want for nothing more, all for a price of under $2000 USD. That being said, one minor criticism I have is that it is not really possible to see the silicon balance spring as it is quite small compared to the non-silicon one in the Caliber 80. However, this is understandable, since silicon is a harder material and doesn’t need to be as big to do its job properly.

In the realm of the affordable segment then, the Chronometer One does offer a lot of value, and aside from some of Mido’s sister brands in the Swatch Group, it’s going to be difficult to get a still relatively uncommon, silicon balance spring in your watch for such a low price. Add the fact that it is a chronometer, which even today does mean something in the realm of mechanical watches, and it is a complete package without peer.

Did you know?

Perhaps the most significant and lesser known fact about Mido as a brand is that it is one of the top chronometer watch producers in the world. According to statistics published by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute responsible for certifying the accuracy and precision of wristwatches in Switzerland, Mido held the position of fourth in 2012 and 2013, and fifth in 2014 and 2015 for most chronometers certified.

This table above, compiled from the annual reports of COSC, shows the position of Mido relative to the other well-known names on the list of top chronometer producers including Rolex, Omega, Breitling and Tissot between 2012 and 2015.

2015 was the last year in which such official statistics have been made public, and even though that is quite a few years ago, there is no reason to think when looking at the Mido catalogue nowadays stuffed full of chronometer certified watches, that it remains true to this day.
