Mido built the Multifort Special Edition M005.430.36.050.80 with American football in mind, and it shows. Retailers know it as the Touchdown edition: a black PVD case, a black dial with orange hands, and a strap cut from Horween football leather, the same tannery associated with the game's pigskin.

The sporty styling sits on serious foundations. Mido's first Multifort, launched in the 1930s, was among the earliest watches to be anti-magnetic, water resistant, shock resistant and self-winding. This edition carries that legacy forward with the Mido Caliber 80.621, an automatic offering a full 80 hours of power reserve plus a day-and-date display at 3 o'clock. Dot markers and Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 are luminous, so game-night readability is never an issue.

A second black leather strap is included in the box, letting you switch from stadium mode to something more understated in seconds.
