Balancing technical complexity with visual impact, the trio makes a bold, modern statement.
The Multifort collection holds a special place in Mido‘s catalogue, dating back to the 1930s, when it became the brand’s first model to feature an automatic movement. Fast forward to today, and the collection continues to evolve, now welcoming three versions of the Multifort Skeleton Chronograph. Staying true to the Multifort spirit, these new watches are built to perform – automatic, anti-magnetic, shock-resistant, and water-resistant. The openworked dial reveals components of the automatic Caliber 60 ticking beneath, and while skeletonised dials have made appearances in the Multifort family before, this time, the chronograph configuration makes the most of the design.
The new Mido Multifort Skeleton Chronograph references are presented in a polished stainless steel case, water-resistant to 100 meters. The three-part case measures 43mm in diameter, 14.4mm thick, and 50.67mm lug-to-lug and features sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating on both sides and a fluted screw-down crown at 3 o’clock, flanked by rounded rectangular chronograph pushers that balance sportiness with style.
Available in three colourways – blue, anthracite and black with PVD case – the dial layout follows a classic 3-6-9 subdial arrangement. The blue version pairs vertical and circular satin finishes with silver elements for a sleek, modern look. A dark blue sloping inner flange hosts the tachymeter scale, while a 1/5th-second track wraps around the dial, punctuated by round, white Super-LumiNova-coated hour markers. Just inside sits the silver-coloured minute track with numerals marking 5-minute intervals. The ringed subdials in blue are fitted with flat, diamond-cut hands to track running seconds, 30-minute intervals, and 12-hour elapsed time. The skeletonised, tri-faceted hour and minute hands – satin-brushed and filled with white Super-LumiNova – enhance readability while adding depth. The central chronograph seconds hand echoes the design of the subdial hands for a cohesive finish.
The anthracite variant swaps in grey tones instead of blue, offering a more understated, monochrome aesthetic. In both versions, the openworked dial puts the automatic Caliber 60 on display, contrasting brass gears against grey components for a nice visual interplay of mechanics and design.
The black version of the Mido Multifort Skeleton Chronograph stands out with a stealthy PVD-coated steel case, paired with bold black dial elements and striking accents in the brand’s signature bright orange, used for the indices, hands, and printed markings, adding a vibrant, sporty edge.
Powering all versions of the Multifort Skeleton Chronograph is the Mido Caliber 60, an automatic chronograph movement based on the ETA A05.951. This enhanced evolution of the classic Valjoux 7750 architecture delivers an upgraded 60-hour power reserve (up from the standard 48 hours) and features élaboré grade finishing. Highlights include circular-grained bridges and a skeletonised oscillating weight adorned with the Mido logo. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring for improved resistance to magnetism.
Each version of the watch is paired with a distinct strap or bracelet. The anthracite model comes on a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp, while the blue variant is matched with a textured blue rubber strap featuring a quick-change system. The black PVD model is fitted with a matching black rubber strap secured with a pin buckle. As for pricing, the blue rubber strap version is CHF 2,270, the anthracite on the bracelet is CHF 2,300, and the black edition comes in at CHF 2,380. For more information, visit midowatches.com.
