Mido Multifort TV Big Date Limited Edition S01E01
WATCHES/LIXSR April 3, 2023
Mido has unveiled the Multifort TV Big Date Limited Edition S01E01, a captivating timepiece limited to 999 pieces, inspired by the nostalgic charm of retro television sets. This unique watch features a 3-D dial that emulates the colorful “Off-Air” graphic once common on TV screens, achieved through an innovative use of multicolored, four-faceted pyramid structures. This design choice creates a dynamic illusion of movement, making the dial a focal point of the watch.
The watch’s design is not only a nod to the past but also showcases Mido’s commitment to legibility and functionality. The dial includes circular pips and trapezoidal indices filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability in low-light conditions. A significant design element is the oversized date window at 12 o’clock, which stands out as a main character rather than a forgotten detail, enhancing the watch’s practicality.
Housed in a 40 x 39.2mm stainless steel case, the Multifort TV Big Date combines satin-finished and polished surfaces, paired with a satin-finished stainless steel bracelet. This design continuity ensures the watch’s aesthetic appeal while maintaining the durability and comfort expected from a Mido timepiece.

At the heart of the S01E01 lies the Mido automatic Caliber 80, a movement based on the ETA C07.651. It boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve and features a Nivachron balance spring to improve the watch’s resistance to magnetic fields. The movement’s decoration and the unique serial number of each piece are visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, adding an extra layer of exclusivity.
Adding to the collectibility of the Multifort TV Big Date Limited Edition S01E01, Mido includes two additional rubber straps in yellow and turquoise blue with each watch. This allows owners to personalize their timepiece and highlights Mido’s attention to detail and dedication to providing a comprehensive wearing experience.
The Mido Multifort TV Big Date Limited Edition S01E01 is now available for purchase, offering watch enthusiasts and collectors a unique piece that combines innovative design with functional excellence.
