Stealthy, tough and surprisingly versatile, the Mido Multifort Gent M005.430.37.051.80 strips the classic Multifort recipe down to black on black. A black PVD case, a black Côtes de Genève dial and a black rubber strap make it the sportiest way to wear one of Mido's most storied designs.

The Multifort first appeared in the 1930s and earned its name by being anti-magnetic, water resistant, shock resistant and automatic when few watches managed even one of those things. Mido connects the collection to the steel lattice of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the striped dial pays tribute to it. Powering this version is Caliber 80, based on the ETA C07.621, with up to 80 hours of reserve and a day-and-date display.

The rubber strap shrugs off sweat and water, so this is the Multifort to choose for summer, travel or the gym, while the 11mm case still slides under a sleeve when needed.
