The NEW MIDO Multifort 8
Over the last couple of years, the deluge of new releases from MIDO has been exceptional. Different designs across the board, different colours, bracelet options; they’ve tried, and succeeded, to bring themselves to the forefront through unique designs that cater to those looking for something different and expressive while still being a watch that anyone could wear. Their selection has been fantastic, and continues to expand with their newest release, the MIDO Multifort 8 Two Crowns.
While their previous release in the Multifort series, the TV Big Date, pulled inspiration from a vintage MIDO model, the Multifort 8 Two Crowns is an entirely new design for MIDO that checks all the boxes of a modern-contemporary sports watch. With the rise in popularity of integrated bracelets, the Multifort 8 Two Crowns has quickly become a favourite for those looking for a beautiful sports watch with the warmer months right around the corner.
The Multifort 8 Two Crowns features a 38mm case diameter, 44.8mm lug-to-lug and an overall thickness of 9.5mm; the perfect combo for a compact and comfortable wearing experience and will fit great on any wrist. Turning focus to the front of the watch, you’re greeted with an octagonal bezel with a mix of brushed and polished finishes–a perfect balance of elegance with sport; dress it up, dress it down, you can wear this as your new daily for all occasions.
The deep, horizontal ridges on the dial are an incredible nod to previous models in the Multifort collection and enhance the legibility of the indices. In fact, each dial is designed with legibility in mind, as well as functionality; this is where the Two Crowns come into action. The crown at 4 o’clock is your standard time and date change function, while the crown at 2 o’clock allows you to control and change the inner chapter ring around the dial, which houses the minute markers for proper timing functionality. Not just beautiful, but also functional. It should be mentioned that the watch holds 100m of water resistance and implements the MIDO Calibre 72 movement.
For those looking for a beautiful octagonal, integrated bracelet sports watch or looking to make their way into Swiss-made luxury, the Multifort 8 Two Crowns is a fantastic place to start. The watch is available in three dial colours and two very comfortable bracelet/strap options, so feel free to browse our inventory.
