The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

A French story!

An iconic model from the early 1980s.
This is the first French watch sent into space, developed for CNES and worn during French space missions. A watch steeped in history.

Comfortable to wear, it fits perfectly into my collection of watches with a space heritage. Its dial is particularly striking: the dark blue bezel, combined with the black and white dial, creates a very harmonious whole.

Overall, it's a collector's watch that's comfortable to wear and rich in historical significance.

The Multifort TV Big Date is a watch with remarkable value for money, comfortable to wear with its steel bracelet. It has nothing to envy in its more high-end competitors.

Its 80-hour power reserve is very welcome when switching between watches. Its Big Date is equally impressive: I wasn't a fan of this complication initially, but it has rekindled my appreciation for date displays on watches.

A daily watch I haven't taken off for a year now.

Mido, the TV of everyday life!

Omega's legendary moonwatch is not the only one to have gone to the moon. It will undoubtedly remain the first but as few know, another watch has also been on the moon.

Indeed it was on August 2, 1971, Commander David Scott was the 7th man to walk on the moon during the Apollo 15 mission. On his wrist, unlike all the other astronauts who took on this role, he wore a Bulova Moon Pilot Chronograph.

The one in my possession is obviously a modern reproduction, which can be easily found at a very affordable price unlike its big sister at Omega.

It is rather large, we are more on a 43/44 I would say. It is equipped with a nylon strap which I find does not necessarily highlight it and which makes it a little chip. Otherwise the watch itself is of very good quality.

It is part of my collection dedicated to space history and watchmaking.

The 2nd on the Moon

This magnificent watch is full of history. Indeed, during the first manned space flight on April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin wore this Sturmanskie on his wrist, making it the first watch to accompany a human being in space.

Being passionate about space and watchmaking, this watch is one of the must-haves in a collection.

To talk a little more about the watch, its case is very small. I would say a 36 to be confirmed but it looks magnificent

Forever the first

This series manufactured between 1967 and 1974 has nothing to envy the new Tissot PRX type watches... Even after 50 years, this watch keeps its shape and is still in service, it is a high quality watch. After having given it a little overhaul and polishing, it is good for at least 50 years. Apart from the bracelet which has taken a little play over time, it remains perfectly wearable. This blue dial which accompanies it is magnificent, it is a navy blue in the sun and darkens with the reflections. In addition to its small size between 34 and 35 mm it is versatile and discreet.

An Omega Geneva that hasn't aged a day

It was my first at Yema, size 39 mm and I am very happy with it. Top delivery! The watch box is actually a quality storage case which is very practical when you want to travel with several watches, therefore very useful. I dealt with Yema's customer service and they were very responsive about my request and were able to react very quickly. The support was completely taken care of by them. Sending a courier to come and collect the watch, follow-up... It was great!!

Concerning the watch, what attracted me first was its design which was very pretty, the two white inserts on the dial which are of a different color and shape give it a charm. In addition, its domed glass is very pretty and brings a nice touch to the watch. What I also liked was its Meca Quartz movement that I discovered and I wanted a watch with this type of movement, because I found that it was a little out of the ordinary.

For a watch at this price (350/400 E), the quality and finishes are correct. I received it with a Milanese strap, but I never use it, I prefer the rubber strap which highlights the watch more, I find. This strap is a rather simple rubber plastic strap, nothing exceptional, but it does its job.
So it's a nice little chrono that makes an impression.



Nice little Mechanical Quartz chronograph

Mido is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1918 in Biel/Bienne by Georges G. Schaeren; now part of Swatch Group and based in Le Locle, it built a reputation on practical, durable watchmaking (water-resistance, shock and magnetic protection) established as early as the interwar years, then on staple lines&mdash;Multifort, Commander, Ocean Star and Baroncelli&mdash;that still anchor the contemporary range.
<h3>Multifort 1934, Aquadura 1930: tool-watch thinking before it had a name</h3>
In the 1930s Mido developed a treated-cork crown-stem seal&mdash;later dubbed Aquadura&mdash;that protected the winding system, a rare solution at the time aimed at un-fussy daily use, and this practical innovation became a cornerstone of the brand&rsquo;s toughness narrative.
In 1934 the Multifort line brought together automatic winding, water-resistance, shock protection and anti-magnetism in a single watch, placing Mido on a pragmatic, use-first path, and this &ldquo;all-terrain&rdquo; synthesis became the company&rsquo;s best-seller from the 1930s into the 1950s.&nbsp;Independent American testing in the 1930s further underpinned this stance, with communications that favoured proof in use over hyperbole, and that culture of trial and endurance still colours how the Multifort name is read today.
<h3>Commander 1959, Ocean Star and monocoque construction</h3>
Launched in 1959, the Mido Commander features a monocoque case with an integrated Milanese bracelet and period logo, a set of hallmarks for a model produced without interruption since inception, and this unusual continuity makes it a quiet Swiss staple.
In the same spirit of simple robustness, the Ocean Star family&mdash;whose historic pieces leverage one-piece cases and in-house sealing&mdash;anchors Mido&rsquo;s maritime identity, and the brand updates that chapter today with divers rated up to 600 m and GMT variants.&nbsp;
The modern Ocean Star 600 Chronometer adds a helium valve, technical bezel and, depending on versions, chronometer certification, showing the historic DNA translated into credible specifications, and this coherence strengthens the range&rsquo;s appeal for frequent waterside wear.&nbsp;
<h3>Baroncelli and &ldquo;Inspired by Architecture&rdquo;: classicism and emblematic places</h3>
Since 2002 Mido has embraced an explicit architecture link&mdash;kicked off by the All Dial line inspired by Rome&rsquo;s Colosseum&mdash;that guides design beyond mere d&eacute;cor, and this approach has spawned anniversary series across several core families.
The Mido Baroncelli, introduced in 1976, embodies the brand&rsquo;s dress side, with editions that dialog with the Rennes Opera House among other cues, and these balanced proportions pair well with modern movements for everyday formality.
The &ldquo;architecture&rdquo; thread also reads as a language of calm lines, understated dials and contained volumes echoed by Commander, All Dial, Multifort and Ocean Star, and this disciplined drawing avoids short-lived trends in favour of a readable identity
<h3>Modern mechanics: Caliber 80, silicon and chronometer certification</h3>
At the core of recent collections, Caliber 80 delivers roughly 80 hours of power reserve and, in its Chronometer Silicon guise, a silicon balance spring with anti-magnetic properties, with COSC-certified variants by model, and the result signals a clear focus on stability and accuracy in use.
This architecture serves both sport and dress lines (Ocean Star, Multifort, Baroncelli, Commander), with water-resistance and regulation tuned to each scenario, and the net effect is a more legible line-up for buyers cross-shopping families.
Select references add useful complications&mdash;local-jumping GMT, chronometer timing, decompression bezel&mdash;without bloat, and this functional restraint stays true to Mido&rsquo;s historic tool-watch culture.
<h3>Today&rsquo;s families and quick orientation</h3>
To navigate the catalogue, start with each lineage&rsquo;s signature and two or three concrete use points, and the short list below gathers distinctive landmarks for an efficient first pass.
<ul>
<li>Mido Multifort &mdash; heir to the 1934 &ldquo;all-terrain&rdquo; watch; versatile sport, shock/magnetic resistance, long-reserve automatics (Caliber 80).</li>
<li>Mido Commander 1959 &mdash; monocoque case, integrated Milanese bracelet, unbroken production since 1959; readable, relaxed-dress.</li>
<li>Mido Ocean Star 600 Chronometer &mdash; 600 m, helium valve, serious dive spec; intensive water/sport use.</li>
<li>Mido Ocean Star GMT &mdash; Caliber 80 C07.661 with local-jump hour, 80 h, clear 24-hour read; travel and multi-time work.</li>
<li>Mido Baroncelli Chronometer Silicon &mdash; classic dress, silicon balance, COSC variants and extended warranty; office and formal wear.</li>
<li>Mido All Dial &mdash; born 2002, Colosseum-inspired; layered &ldquo;bezel-less&rdquo; dial architecture with a distinct stance.</li>
<li>Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961 &mdash; reissue of a historic rainbow decompression dial; leisure diving and heritage.</li>
</ul>
This overview doesn&rsquo;t exhaust the range, but it lets you oppose &ldquo;water-sport,&rdquo; &ldquo;urban-sport,&rdquo; and &ldquo;dress&rdquo; at a glance, and this framework helps you prioritise criteria before trying pieces on.
<h3>Positioning, indicative prices and distribution</h3>
Mido sits in Swatch Group&rsquo;s Swiss mid-core, with public prices that, depending on family and market, roughly span &euro;800 to &euro;1,600 (e.g., Commander 1959 around $860 in the U.S.; Ocean Star GMT listed between ~CHF 1,190 and ~CHF 1,400), and this middle ground targets serious, durable watches without prestige bloat.
Distribution blends the official e-shop, authorised retailers and the group&rsquo;s global network, alongside structured after-sales and long-term parts support, and this footprint reassures buyers about maintenance well into the second decade.&nbsp;Annual production volumes are not disclosed, but the depth of the line and worldwide presence imply steady output paced by launches, and the addressable audience spans first-time buyers and seasoned wearers alike.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Mido suits those after durable, legible, properly engineered watches, with clearly drawn families and pertinent tech choices (historic Aquadura, monocoque cases, Caliber 80, silicon balances). Identify your dominant use to oppose Ocean Star (water/travel), Multifort/Commander (urban-sport) and Baroncelli (dress), then tune size and strap. The brand&rsquo;s &ldquo;function over fuss&rdquo; ethos makes it recognisable without theatrics. To align your pick with lived ownership, a helpful compass remains Dialicious customer reviews.

(Updated August 2025)

I have been buying watches on impulse for a while now when I go to a jeweler (I quickly abandoned online stores except for micro brands). But the TV Big Date had caught my eye since its release with this particular format and the orange strap that we saw everywhere. And so after a difficult two weeks at work I took advantage of a morning to go to the jeweler to see it in real life. As always the dimensions in reality are much prettier than in the photos. But in the store there was only the gray and the green, both on a steel bracelet. Unfortunately, when I put the two watches on my wrist, I realized that my color blindness (I am deuteranope) limited my choice on the gray one, not seeing the green. What misled my eyes was this beautiful horizontal brushing that allows the gradient to spread differently depending on the light. What also guided me to choose this model was the big date complication which is also perfectly integrated at noon. The polished and brushed H-link bracelet is really beautiful and easy to wear. In addition, what quickly made me give in was that the jeweler had received three Mido watch winders (which are offered for any online order over €1000) and that if I bought it that same morning, I would leave with the winder. That was all I needed to buy it! Since then, it is one of the watches that people notice the most. It is surely one of the watches I will never part with!

Apparently he's the Aquanaut for the less fortunate!

What can I say about this watch? Sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective treatment, Nivachron balance spring resistant to magnetism, 80-hour power reserve (21600 3Hz alternation, we would have preferred 28800 4Hz, well we can't have everything lol) a great horizontally brushed dial with a large date with two reversed discs, rare on watches at this price I think!! I have them with a green dial that darkens to go towards black with the most beautiful effect.
For this price of 1200 euros I think the price is correct.


mido big date a success

I totally fell for this pretty watch when it came out, a very 70s style with a design representing our old televisions, for the older ones of course. A pretty brushed case, mirror polished on a slightly striated dial background, with a gray-green gradient. What I also really like is its big date at 12 o'clock. It reminds me of the departure or arrival boards of means of transport of a certain era. I find that the orange rubber strap version is the best version, perfect for coloring my chicken wrist this summer. Moreover, for this summer, the watch is waterproof to 100M with a screwed crown, enough to be at ease for swimming

the 70s on the wrist

First purchase at Mido I am totally delighted. This shape from the past presents all the characteristics of a modern watch. The marriage is fabulous. Not being particularly vintage this watch totally meets my criteria, a superb aesthetic and characteristics that are no less so. This orange rubber strap associated with this gray dial modernizes and brings a beautiful sporty touch to the model. Concerning the movement it is a little too early to give my opinion.

A modern slap from the past

I have had this watch for a few days. I fell for the model with the smoky gray dial and its orange rubber strap. On the wrist, this watch is very comfortable, the strap is a little thick but it lends itself well to it. The indexes, hands and dial make the time easily readable. 
Looking at the dial closely, we can see that it is slightly striated. On this dial color, with the striates, it is even more reminiscent of old cathode ray tube TVs. 

This is my first watch with a large date complication. I like to watch the date change with the discs that we see turning, however I read that there had been returns to the after-sales service for a manufacturing problem. Mine does not seem to be affected because the date changes quickly unlike the watches affected by the problem. It also seems that you will have to be vigilant and careful with the date setting, avoiding the famous "death zone" (set the date with the hands down). 

The movement is visible because the case back is fitted with a sapphire crystal. Only the oscillating weight is decorated, rather pretty, but the rest of the movement remains rather sober. On the other hand, it offers a nice power reserve of 80 hours and on mine, it is rather precise with a very low drift. For me it is a very good point.

In general, I find that this watch exudes quality. The finishes are beautiful with a design that I find well thought out.


A beautiful discovery

The Mido Multifort TV Big Date is a stylish watch that perfectly combines vintage design and modern functionality. This addition to the Mido Multifort collection offers an attractive combination of elegance and practicality at an affordable price. It fits perfectly into the very popular style of luxury sports watches. And with several dial color options, it has broad appeal and an interesting history, dating all the way back to 1973.
The brand&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/mido">Mido</a> was founded in 1918 and initially focused on producing novelty and designer watches with art deco inspired designs. In the 1930s, Mido changed course by introducing the Multifort watch, which boasted being waterproof, anti-magnetic and shock resistant. This was a significant turning point for the brand, establishing its reputation as a true watchmaker. The Mido Multifort Automatic, launched in 1935, further strengthened the success of Mido by combining for the first time in the same watch automatic winding, water resistance, resistance to magnetic fields and impacts. The Multifort line became Mido's bestseller until the 1950s, remaining a mainstay of the brand.
The Multifort collection has evolved over recent years while remaining faithful to its heritage. The Mido Multifort TV Big Date is inspired by the Mido archives and pays homage to the rectangular shape and the distinctive aesthetic of mid-20th century television screens. This shape was common among watch brands in the 1970s, Mido included; examples can be found in the collections&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/mido/great_wall">Mido Great Wall</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/mido/ocean_star">Mido Ocean Star</a> of this era.
This vintage TV-inspired design is reflected in the rectangular case measuring 39.2mm x 40mm of the watch and in the layout of the dial, combining retro charm with modern functionality. The case has a thickness of 11.5mm, with a vertically brushed bezel, screw-down crown and mineral glass caseback. True to the Multifort promise, the watch offers water resistance up to 100 meters (10 ATM).
The main characteristic of the Mido Multifort TV Big Date is its large date positioned at 12 o&rsquo;clock. This practical complication improves readability while adding a touch of retro elegance to the watch. The horizontally brushed dial and rectangular Super-LumiNova-treated indexes at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock contribute to the vintage appeal. The minute track is printed on the outer fringe, and the stick-shaped hour and minute hands complete the sleek aesthetic.
The Mido Multifort TV Big Date is powered by the caliber 80 with automatic winding (an ETA C07.651 movement) with a power reserve of 80 hours. The Nivachron balancing spring ensures excellent resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. It can also be seen through the back, with the Mido signed rotor.
The Mido Multifort TV Big Date is available in different colors, with strap and bracelet options. There are five references in all, including blue and gray dials paired with blue or orange rubber straps, respectively, as well as stainless steel bracelet editions featuring blue, gray and green dials. The Mido Multifort TV Big Date with rubber strap is priced at &euro; 1,170, while the steel bracelet edition is available for &euro; 1,200.
