The Mido Multifort "Extra-Flat" is a prime example of post-war Swiss design at its most elegant and utilitarian. Slim, clean, and mechanically straightforward, this reference reflects Mido’s long-standing reputation for creating well-engineered watches that sit comfortably at the intersection of style and reliability.
The cream-toned dial shows natural patina across its surface, framed by applied numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 and wedge-shaped indices at the remaining hours. The sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock is beautifully executed with concentric guilloché detailing — a hallmark of thoughtful design in mid-century Swiss watches.
Despite its name, the watch wears with solid wrist presence due to its long lugs and polished steel case. It’s powered by a slim hand-wound movement and fitted here on a brown stitched leather strap that complements the warm tones of the dial.
The engraved caseback reads Mido Multifort Waterproof – Antimagnetic – Shockproof – Stainless Steel, emphasizing the watch’s original positioning as both elegant and durable — a duality Mido mastered in the 1950s.
