The Swiss Mido Multifort TV Big Date M049.526.33.081.00 watch stands out for its unusual yet versatile appearance and precise craftsmanship. It is a great companion for everyday wear, but is also suitable for social occasions. This model was made in honour of a popular model from 2000. Like the current version, its shape resembles a television screen. However, the "TV-shaped" case first appeared at Mido in 1973 in the Multi Star collection, and again in 1980 in the Commander collection.
The Mido M049.526.33.081.00 watch has a case and steel strap made of 316L stainless steel with a black PVD treatment. The strap is fitted with quick-release spring bars, making it easy to change without tools. Inside the case is the Swiss mechanical Caliber 80 Big Date movement (based on the ETA C07.651) with automatic winding. It operates at a frequency of 21600 vibrations per hour, has 25 jewels and an extended power reserve of 80 hours. The movement can be viewed through the transparent case back. At 12 o'clock is a practical large date display – the Big Date.
The clear dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which provides maximum scratch resistance. An anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures perfect legibility even in bright sunlight. The water resistance of this model is 100 m (10 Bar), making it suitable for greater contact with water, such as swimming. Water resistance is supported by a screw-down crown.
Note: Sometimes also referred to as M0495263308100

In 1918, expert watchmaker Georges Schaeren founded the Mido brand, which soon became synonymous with technical innovation and timeless design. Currently, the brand under the motto "Inspired by architecture" creates model lines inspired by iconic buildings, such as Big Ben in London, the Colosseum in Rome, or the Great Wall of China. Since 2019, Mido has been an official partner of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, an annual competition in diving from a height of 25-28 meters. The Mido brand offers mainly mechanical models, so fans of traditional, honest watchmaking will find it in particular.
Helveti.eu is an authorized dealer and specialist of the Mido brand.
