With Switzerland all but completely shutdown for the summer holidays, there’s little news to be reported in the world of watches. We’ve used the time to further expand our Mido watches database (but not much else).

Mido Multifort Gent Escape Horween Edition

Kicking off this week’s Mido party is the Escape Horween Edition. This watch has a PVD-coated case with aged finish, and a black dial with Côtes de Genève finish and oversized Arabic numerals. It comes with two straps, both with leather sourced from the famous Horween tannery of Chicago. Details!

Certina DS Super PH500M C037.407.18.050.00

Certina’s DS Super PH500M was introduced in 2018 as reference C037.407.17.280.10, sporting a bright orange dial. The watch is now back in a more sober iteration for 2021. Details!

Mido Commander Gradient

The Mido Commander Gradient is new for 2021. The main attraction is the dial, which is made of acrylic. It has a gradient finish, revealing more of the inner-workings towards the center. Details!
