Lexor Miami is proud to be among the first authorized Mido dealers to offer the new Mido Multifort TV Big Date Alebrijes watch — a 2026 limited edition built around the fantastical creatures and vivid Calavera artistry of Mexico's Día de los Muertos.

Every detail of the Mido Multifort TV Big Date Alebrijes (reference M049.526.11.081.02) was designed to celebrate one of Mexico's most visually striking traditions: the colorful, surreal folk-art sculptures known as Alebrijes. Mido channels that same spirit of fantasy and craftsmanship into a Swiss automatic watch, pairing its signature TV-shaped case with a dial that tells a cultural story most luxury watches never attempt.

What Are Alebrijes? The Story Behind This Mido Watch

Dial Design: Where Swiss Watchmaking Meets Mexican Folk Art

At the center of the Mido Multifort TV Big Date Alebrijes dial is a hand-illustrated Calavera (decorative skull) surrounded by fantastical Alebrijes creatures, set against a grey-gradient background with fine vertical texturing that catches the light differently with every angle. An energetic orange and yellow minute rehaut frames the design, echoing the vibrant palette of traditional Día de los Muertos altars.

Mido describes the piece as feeling genuinely "alive" — the dial shifts in character from daylight to darkness, when the Super-LumiNova-treated indexes, hands and Calavera artwork glow for a completely different nighttime personality. It's a watch designed to reward a second and third look, not just a glance at the time.

Case, Movement and Big Date Display

The Multifort TV Big Date case takes its name from its distinctive rectangular, television-screen silhouette — a Mido signature. This limited edition measures 39.2mm by 40mm with an 11.5mm thickness, crafted in 316L stainless steel with a sapphire crystal and double-sided anti-reflective coating on both the front and the transparent caseback, which reveals the automatic Caliber 80 movement.

Powered by a Nivachron™ balance spring for enhanced resistance to magnetic fields, the movement delivers up to 80 hours of power reserve — meaning the watch can sit unworn over a weekend and still be ready to wear on Monday. The oversized Big Date display at 12 o'clock uses two separate discs for maximum legibility, a hallmark of the Multifort TV Big Date collection.

Bracelet, Straps and What's Included

This 2026 Día de los Muertos edition ships on a 316L stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp and push-button release, plus two additional interchangeable straps included in the presentation box — giving owners multiple ways to wear the same limited-edition piece. The 22mm lug width keeps strap-swapping simple for years to come.

Who Should Buy the Mido Alebrijes Watch?

Caring for Your Mido Multifort TV Big Date Alebrijes

Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and avoid exposing the dial artwork to harsh solvents. Thanks to its 100m water resistance, this Mido Alebrijes watch can handle daily splashes and hand-washing, though we recommend having the screw-down crown and caseback checked periodically by an authorized service center to preserve water resistance over time.

Final Thoughts: A Watch Worth Owning First

Limited editions built on genuine cultural storytelling don't come around often in Swiss watchmaking — and this Mido Multifort TV Big Date Alebrijes watch is one of the most compelling examples in recent memory. As one of the first authorized Mido dealers offering it, Lexor Miami is proud to bring this piece to collectors who want their next watch to mean something.
