MIDO Multifort TV Big Date M049.526.36.081.00 Gradient Automatic Watch | Miami

The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date M049.526.36.081.00 brings a distinctive architectural design and sophisticated Swiss mechanical watchmaking together in one striking timepiece. Inspired by the iconic TV-shaped cases of MIDO's heritage, this special edition combines a modern rectangular silhouette with a refined grey gradient dial, a brown leather strap and the practical Big Date complication at 12 o'clock.

At the heart of the watch is MIDO's Caliber 80 automatic movement, offering up to 80 hours of power reserve and equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring designed to provide increased resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. The result is a watch that balances distinctive design with the performance expected from a contemporary Swiss mechanical timepiece.

A Distinctive TV-Shaped Design

The Multifort TV Big Date takes its inspiration from MIDO's historic TV-shaped watch cases and reinterprets that distinctive geometry for the modern wrist. Its 39.2 mm by 40 mm rectangular case creates a strong presence without relying on a conventional round-watch silhouette.

The case design is complemented by a captivating  gradient dial, whose horizontal finishing interacts with the light to emphasize the architectural character of the watch. At 12 o'clock, the oversized Big Date display provides an immediately recognizable signature while making the date exceptionally easy to read.

Big Date at a Glance

The defining feature of the Multifort TV Big Date is its Big Date display at 12 o'clock. Rather than using a conventional single date aperture, the complication uses two independently rotating discs to create a substantially larger date indication.

MIDO explains that the numerals are almost three times larger than those of date displays found on watches of an equivalent diameter. This makes the complication both a functional feature and an important part of the watch's distinctive visual identity.

Swiss Automatic Performance

Inside the TV-shaped case beats MIDO's Caliber 80 automatic movement. Its extended 80-hour power reserve allows the watch to continue running for more than three days when fully wound, providing practical autonomy for everyday wear.

The movement is also equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring. This titanium-based alloy is designed to reduce the effects of magnetic interference while offering strong resistance to shocks and the effects of time, contributing to the reliability and durability of the movement.

Craftsmanship & Design Details

The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date M049.526.36.081.00 takes one of the most distinctive elements of MIDO's heritage—the TV-shaped case—and gives it a contemporary Swiss mechanical interpretation. Its rectangular 39.2 × 40 mm case creates a strong architectural presence on the wrist while maintaining balanced proportions.

The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel with PVD coating and measures 11.5 mm in thickness. A transparent case back reveals the mechanical movement inside, while the screw-down crown contributes to the watch's 100-meter water resistance.

Signature Details

• Big Date at 12 o'clock: The oversized date display is one of the defining visual and functional elements of the Multifort TV Big Date.
• Grey gradient dial: The dial's graduated grey appearance gives the watch depth and a refined contemporary character.

• See-through case back: Provides a view of the automatic mechanical movement.
• Screw-down crown: Designed to support the watch's 10-bar water resistance.

Case & Crystal

The case combines 316L stainless steel and PVD coating with the distinctive rectangular geometry that defines the Multifort TV collection. Measuring 39.2 mm in length and 40 mm in width, the case offers a substantial yet wearable presence.

Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating on both the top and bottom surfaces. Sapphire provides excellent scratch resistance while the anti-reflective treatment helps maintain clear visibility of the grey gradient dial under changing lighting conditions.

Grey Gradient Dial & Big Date

The grey gradient dial gives this Multifort TV Big Date its sophisticated visual character. The graduated tone creates depth across the rectangular surface while maintaining the clean, contemporary aesthetic of the Multifort collection.

Positioned prominently at 12 o'clock, the Big Date display is considerably larger than a conventional date aperture. MIDO's system uses two separately rotating discs, allowing the numerals to be almost three times larger than those found on watches of an equivalent diameter.

Caliber 80 Automatic Movement

At the center of the watch is MIDO's Caliber 80 automatic movement. Its extended power reserve provides up to 80 hours of autonomy, allowing the watch to continue running for more than three days when fully wound.

The movement incorporates a Nivachron™ balance spring, made from a titanium-based alloy designed to reduce the effects of magnetic interference while providing strong resistance to impacts and the effects of time. This technology contributes to the movement's long-term reliability and precision.

Brown Leather Strap

The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap featuring an embossed cow-leather front and a synthetic backing. The warm brown tone creates an elegant contrast against the grey gradient dial and architectural case.

A standard buckle provides a traditional finishing touch, while the 22 mm lug width gives the watch a substantial connection between the case and strap. This special edition also includes one extra strap, offering additional versatility when styling the timepiece.

Water Resistance & Everyday Performance

The Multifort TV Big Date is water-resistant to 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters or 330 feet. The screw-down crown helps support this level of water resistance, making the watch suitable for everyday wear and a range of daily activities.

At approximately 88 grams, the watch balances its substantial rectangular case with a comfortable leather strap. Its combination of sapphire crystal, automatic movement, Nivachron™ technology and 100-meter water resistance makes it a practical mechanical watch as well as a distinctive design piece.

The Story Behind the Multifort TV Big Date

The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date M049.526.36.081.00 represents an important part of MIDO's design language: creating contemporary watches from distinctive elements of the brand's history. The TV-shaped case recalls an era when television sets introduced new geometric forms into everyday design, inspiring watchmakers to experiment with unconventional case silhouettes.

MIDO translates that heritage into a modern mechanical watch with strong architectural proportions. Rather than simply reproducing a vintage design, the Multifort TV Big Date gives the concept a contemporary interpretation through its 39.2 × 40 mm case, refined grey gradient dial and sophisticated finishing.

An Architectural Approach to Swiss Watchmaking

The rectangular case immediately distinguishes the Multifort TV Big Date from conventional round watches. Its softly rounded corners create a balance between geometric structure and ergonomic wearability, while the horizontal finishing of the grey gradient dial reinforces the watch's modern character.

This combination gives the watch a particularly versatile personality. It can function as a refined everyday timepiece while still offering enough visual distinction to appeal to collectors who appreciate unusual case designs and strong horological identity.

The Big Date as a Design Signature

On the Multifort TV Big Date, the date is more than a secondary function. Positioned prominently at 12 o'clock, the oversized display becomes an integral part of the dial's architecture.

The Big Date mechanism uses two separate discs to create large, highly legible numerals. This approach allows MIDO to emphasize the date without overwhelming the rest of the dial, maintaining a carefully balanced composition between the display, indexes and central hands.

The result is a complication that is immediately practical while also giving the watch a recognizable identity within the Multifort collection.

Caliber 80: Extended Mechanical Autonomy

The Caliber 80 automatic movement is one of the most important technical features of the Multifort TV Big Date. Its extended power reserve of up to 80 hours gives the wearer more flexibility when rotating between watches.

The movement's Nivachron™ balance spring is another important element. Developed to provide improved resistance to magn
