Mido Expands Its Commander Collection With The New Datoday

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2026 0

First introduced in 1959, the Commander collection has long been one of the pillars of Mido’s catalog. Known for its timeless design and reliable mechanics, the line continues to evolve while maintaining the elegant character that has defined it for decades. The latest addition to the family is the new Commander Datoday, a model that combines classic aesthetics with practical everyday functionality.

A Classic Design in a Modern Format

The new Commander Datoday is presented in a stainless steel case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 10.70 mm in thickness, offering balanced proportions that make it suitable for both formal and casual settings. The design stays true to the refined spirit of the Commander collection, featuring short lugs and a slim bezel that maximize the dial opening while preserving a sleek profile on the wrist.

The case combines brushed and polished finishes, creating subtle contrasts that enhance the watch’s overall elegance. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, which is sufficient for daily wear and light exposure to water.

Sunray Dials with Day-Date Function

One of the defining elements of the Commander Datoday is its dial design. Each model features a sunray-brushed central dial, surrounded by an angled inner flange that visually frames the applied hour markers and adds depth to the overall layout.

The applied indexes and hands are polished and feature black detailing along with luminous inserts, ensuring good legibility in different lighting conditions. Practicality is further enhanced by the day-date display positioned at 3 o’clock, presented in a framed window that integrates neatly into the dial design.

Mido introduces four versions of the Commander Datoday. Three of them come in stainless steel cases paired with dark blue, silvery-white, or anthracite grey dials, offering classic and versatile aesthetics. The fourth version is slightly bolder, featuring a rose gold PVD-coated case combined with a dark green dial, adding a warmer and more distinctive look to the collection.

Powered by the Caliber 80 Automatic Movement

Inside the Commander Datoday is the Mido Caliber 80, an automatic movement widely used within the Swatch Group and derived from the well-known ETA architecture. The movement operates at a frequency of 3 Hz, or 21,600 vibrations per hour, and provides an extended power reserve of up to 80 hours, allowing the watch to continue running for more than three days without being worn.

Another notable feature of the movement is the Nivachron balance spring, which improves resistance to magnetic fields and contributes to more stable long-term performance.

Bracelet and Availability

The watch is fitted with a three-link stainless steel bracelet secured by a folding clasp. Mido also equips the bracelet with quick-release spring bars, allowing the wearer to change straps easily without the need for additional tools.

The new Commander Datoday joins the brand’s permanent collection and is now available through authorized retailers. Pricing starts at € 990 for the stainless steel versions, while the rose gold PVD-coated model is priced at € 1,150.

With its balanced proportions, practical day-date complication, and robust automatic movement, the new Commander Datoday continues the legacy of one of Mido’s most enduring collections.

Steel Meets Rose Gold In The New Multifort 8 One Crown

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES, Uncategorized 2026, Integrated Bracelet, Sport Watch 0

Mido expands its contemporary integrated sports watch collection with a new two-tone interpretation of the Multifort 8 One Crown. Combining stainless steel with rose gold PVD accents, this latest reference introduces a more refined aesthetic to the geometric design language first presented in January 2026.

While the architecture, dimensions and movement remain unchanged from the debut steel models, the updated colour scheme gives the watch a distinct presence within the collection.

A Quick Refresher: The Multifort 8 One Crown Concept

Unveiled at the beginning of 2026, the Multifort 8 One Crown streamlined the earlier Multifort 8 design by adopting a single screw-down crown positioned at 3 o’clock and removing the internal rotating bezel found on the Two Crowns version.

The watch is housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case with a compact 44.86 mm lug-to-lug measurement, made possible by its integrated construction. This architecture allows the watch to sit comfortably on the wrist despite its strong geometric profile. Water resistance is rated at 100 metres, and a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the dial. Around the dial sits a faceted octagonal bezel that defines the model’s angular character, while the exhibition case back reveals the automatic movement inside.

Two-Tone Case and Integrated Bracelet

The new variant introduces rose gold PVD plating applied to key elements of the stainless steel case and extending through the central links of the integrated bracelet. The contrast between brushed steel surfaces and warm rose gold tones highlights the sharp lines of the octagonal bezel and reinforces the watch’s architectural aesthetic.

Despite the more luxurious execution, functionality remains unchanged. The integrated bracelet retains its quick-release system for tool-free strap changes and secures to the wrist with a folding clasp, preserving the everyday practicality of the original steel versions.

Black Dial with Gilt Accents

Complementing the two-tone exterior is a black dial enhanced by gilt accents that mirror the rose gold tones of the case and bracelet. The horizontal texturing first seen on the January 2026 releases remains intact, adding depth and structure without overwhelming the layout.

Applied hour markers are outlined in warm gold tones, while the tri-faceted hour and minute hands are filled with Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility. A central seconds hand sweeps across the dial, and the framed date window at 3 o’clock integrates neatly into the overall design. The minute and seconds track is positioned on an outer flange, maintaining a clean and balanced central display.

Calibre 80 Automatic Movement

Powering the watch is Mido’s Calibre 80, based on the ETA C07.611 architecture. The automatic movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) and delivers an extended power reserve of 80 hours, making it well suited for daily wear or rotation within a collection.

Visible through the sapphire case back, the movement features a signed rotor decorated with Côtes de Genève. It provides central hours, minutes, hacking seconds and a date function, consistent with the specifications of the steel models introduced earlier this year.

Price and Positioning

The new two-tone Multifort 8 One Crown is priced at CHF 960, representing a CHF 120 premium over its stainless steel siblings fitted with integrated bracelets.

By maintaining the established case dimensions, dial layout and movement while introducing steel and rose gold contrast, Mido expands the Multifort 8 One Crown collection with a more elevated aesthetic option that remains grounded in the technical foundation of the original 2026 release.

Mido Strengthens The Ocean Star Line With A New 200C Variant

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2026, Diver 0

Mido continues to expand its Ocean Star lineup with the introduction of a new Ocean Star 200C variant that emphasizes classic dive-watch contrast and bold color accents. While the technical foundation remains firmly rooted in the Ocean Star family’s proven formula, this new reference stands apart through its natural stainless steel case, black wave-patterned dial, and a striking red ceramic bezel inspired by tropical sunsets.

Case and Bezel: Classic Steel with a Bold Accent

The watch is housed in a 42.50 mm stainless steel case, maintaining the sporty proportions and robust construction expected from the Ocean Star collection. The case features integrated crown guards protecting the screw-down crown, reinforcing its tool-watch credentials and ensuring durability during active use.

Surrounding the dial is a unidirectional rotating diving bezel fitted with a red ceramic insert. The glossy ceramic surface offers excellent resistance to scratches and fading, while the vivid red tone evokes the glow of a sunset over tropical waters, adding a dynamic visual contrast to the otherwise monochromatic dial.

A box-shaped sapphire crystal tops the case, combining modern scratch resistance with a subtle vintage-inspired profile. The watch is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving.

Dial: Functional Design with Subtle Texture

The black dial features a wave-patterned texture, a recurring design element within the Ocean Star range that references the collection’s maritime roots. This textured surface adds depth while preserving a clean, highly legible layout.

Applied rose gold-coloured hour markers and semi-skeletonized hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring strong visibility in low-light conditions both above and below the water. A day-date display is positioned at 3 o’clock, presented on a white background to maximize contrast and readability.

The restrained color palette of black, steel, and red gives the watch a purposeful, professional appearance while allowing the bezel to serve as the visual focal point.

Case Back and Water Resistance

On the reverse, the screw-in case back is engraved with Mido’s traditional starfish motif in relief, a long-standing symbol of the Ocean Star collection and its association with water resistance and reliability. Together with the screw-down crown and solid construction, this ensures the watch’s 200m water resistance remains uncompromised.

Movement: Caliber 80 with Extended Power Reserve

Powering the Ocean Star 200C is the Mido Caliber 80, an automatic movement based on the ETA C07.621 architecture. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), it delivers a substantial power reserve of up to 80 hours, allowing the watch to run for several days off the wrist.

The movement is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring, which improves resistance to magnetic fields, temperature variations, and shocks—key attributes for a modern everyday sports watch.

Strap: Understated and Functional

This new version is paired with a brown leather strap with a smooth, understated finish, deliberately avoiding embossed or crocodile-style patterns. The strap enhances comfort and versatility while complementing the warm tones of the red bezel. It is secured with a steel pin buckle that matches the natural stainless steel case for a cohesive overall look.

A Familiar Platform with a New Personality

With its steel case, black wave-patterned dial, and sunset-red ceramic bezel, the new Mido Ocean Star 200C introduces a more classic yet expressive character to the collection. While the aesthetics shift toward bold contrast, the watch retains all the technical strengths that define the Ocean Star name—robust water resistance, practical daily complications, and a long-running automatic movement.

Introducing The Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns In Rose Gold

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2025, Integrated Bracelet, Sport Watch 0

Mido continues to build on its Multifort 8 Two Crowns lineup with the introduction of a new Rose Gold PVD version, bringing a warmer aesthetic to the brand’s integrated sports watch platform. The latest model combines a black dial with rose gold-treated surfaces, while retaining the technical characteristics that define the Multifort range.

Case

The case measures 40 mm in diameter and is crafted from stainless steel with a full rose gold PVD coating. Its construction alternates between brushed and polished finishes, giving definition to the angular architecture of the case and integrated lugs. A prominent octagonal bezel frames the dial, reinforcing the watch’s sporty character. Despite its solid appearance, the case remains slim at just 9.50 mm thick, with a lug-to-lug length under 45 mm. Water resistance is rated at 100 metres.

One of the defining elements of the Multifort 8 Two Crowns is its dual-crown layout. The crown at 4 o’clock is used for setting the time and date, while the crown positioned at 2 o’clock controls an internal rotating bezel, allowing timing functionality without the need for an external bezel.

Dial

The matte black dial is decorated with horizontal grooves, a recurring design element across the collection. Recessed hour markers are used throughout, with round markers for most hours and trapezoidal shapes highlighting the quarter positions. Rose gold-coloured, faceted hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova for legibility in low-light conditions. A framed date window is positioned at 3 o’clock.

Movement

Inside the watch is the Mido Calibre 72 automatic movement. Based on the ETA A31.111 architecture, the movement operates at 25,200 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours. A Nivachron balance spring improves resistance to magnetism, temperature changes, and shocks. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback.

Strap

The Multifort 8 Two Crowns Rose Gold PVD is fitted with a black rubber strap featuring an embossed pattern that mirrors the horizontal dial texture. It is secured with a rose gold PVD-coated pin buckle and includes a quick-release system for easy strap changes.

The Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns Rose Gold PVD is available now and priced at € 1,220.

A Darker Edge: The New Mido Multifort TV Chronograph In Black DLC Steel

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2025, Chronograph 0

Mido continues to strengthen the identity of its retro-futuristic Multifort TV collection with the arrival of a striking new chronograph model—this time presented in stainless steel with a full black DLC coating. Following the two chronograph versions launched earlier this year, this new addition maintains the same technical foundations while delivering a dramatically different presence on the wrist.

A Dark New Aesthetic With DLC-Coated Steel

The hallmark rounded-square case of the Multifort TV Chronograph is now transformed through a uniform black Diamond-Like Carbon coating, giving the architecture a sleeker and more contemporary attitude. The shape, dimensions and general structure remain identical to the earlier chronograph releases. The case measures 41.20 mm in length at the bezel, 42 mm in width and 14.40 mm in thickness. It retains its sapphire crystal that follows the profile of the case, along with the screw-down crown framed by a pair of chronograph pushers. On the reverse side, the circular sapphire crystal of the exhibition caseback continues to offer an unobstructed view of the movement.

A major part of its visual identity comes from the matching black DLC-coated stainless-steel bracelet, which reinforces the integrated look of the TV-shaped case. The result is a darker, more architectural expression of the Multifort TV design language.

A Dial With Striking Graphic Depth

At the center of this black-coated exterior lies a dial designed for both visual impact and functional clarity. The surface features intense horizontal brushing that shimmers across a gradient transitioning from gray at the center to deep black along the perimeter, creating a pronounced sense of depth.

The chronograph layout remains consistent with the existing models. A 30-minute counter sits at 3 o’clock, complemented by a 12-hour recorder positioned at 6 o’clock. A running seconds display is placed at 9 o’clock, and a discreet date aperture appears at 4:30. Each element is balanced across the dial, contributing to the distinctive symmetry of the Multifort TV Chronograph.

The hands and indexes are crafted in black lacquer to harmonize with the overall aesthetic. Beige Super-LumiNova® ensures they remain perfectly legible in low-light conditions, maintaining practical functionality within a stealth-focused design.

A Dependable and Well-Finished Movement

Inside, Mido maintains the same mechanical architecture used in the previous models. The watch is powered by the Mido Calibre 60, an automatic movement based on the upgraded ETA A05.231. It incorporates 24 jewels and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring smooth chronograph operation and stable timekeeping. The movement also provides a generous 60-hour power reserve. Decorative finishing—such as perlage on the mainplate, brushed surfaces on the openworked rotor and blued screws—remains visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback.

Additional Strap for Versatility

Beyond the DLC-coated steel bracelet, Mido includes a second strap to expand the watch’s versatility. This beige leather strap features a patina-style finish with contrasting black stitching and is fitted with a stainless-steel pin buckle coated in black PVD and engraved with the MIDO logo. Thanks to the quick-change system, switching between bracelet and strap is fast and straightforward.

A Stealthy New Identity at an Accessible Price

With this new DLC-coated chronograph, Mido pushes the Multifort TV collection into a more assertive and contemporary realm. The watch preserves the core traits of the line—the textured dial, TV-shaped case, reliable movement and balanced chronograph architecture—while introducing a much darker and modern aesthetic.

The new model is priced at CHF 2,420, offering strong value for a chronograph with this level of design execution and mechanical refinement.

Mido Expands Its Multifort Line with the Chronometer1 Racer

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2025 0

Mido continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the most value-driven Swiss watch brands within the Swatch Group portfolio. The new Multifort Chronometer1 Racer demonstrates the brand’s commitment to blending precision engineering with dynamic design, offering a modern sports watch that stands out both visually and technically.

A Legacy of Robust Innovation

The Multifort collection dates back to 1934, when Mido introduced one of the first automatic watches combining water resistance, shock protection, and antimagnetic properties — a remarkable technical achievement at the time. Building on this legacy, the new Multifort Chronometer1 Racer brings contemporary specifications and chronometer-certified precision to the forefront.

Sporty Aesthetics with a Technical Edge

Designed for those who appreciate bold styling, the Multifort Chronometer1 Racer features a 42 mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case with a thickness of 12mm. The robust construction is complemented by a screw-down crown that ensures 100 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear and active lifestyles.

The watch’s dial captures attention with a vibrant combination of blue and orange accents, inspired by the dynamic world of racing. Mido’s signature Côtes de Genève pattern runs vertically across the center of the dial, giving it depth and texture. Surrounding the striped section is a slim orange ring followed by a broader light blue ring — a layered composition that creates a striking visual balance reminiscent of a bullseye.

Legibility and Functionality

Practicality remains at the core of the Multifort design philosophy. The day and date display at 3 o’clock features a silver frame with white inscriptions set against a black background for excellent legibility. The applied indices and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions, while the orange lacquered seconds hand adds a distinctive touch of color and motion.

Certified Precision with the Calibre 80 SI

Powering the Multifort Chronometer1 Racer is the Calibre 80 SI, a high-grade automatic movement that provides up to 80 hours of power reserve. Equipped with a silicon balance spring, the movement offers enhanced resistance to magnetic fields and improved long-term accuracy.

Crucially, this movement is COSC-certified, confirming its performance as a Swiss chronometer — a hallmark of precision and reliability. Through the transparent sapphire caseback, wearers can admire the refined finishing of the movement, including blued screws and a rotor decorated with Geneva stripes.

Two Interchangeable Straps for Versatile Styling

The Multifort Chronometer1 Racer comes with two leather straps that emphasize its sporty character. The first is a light blue strap with orange speed lines, perfectly matching the dial’s color scheme. The second is a black rally-style perforated leather strap with orange and blue stitching, offering a more classic motorsport look. Both straps can be easily swapped, allowing wearers to adapt the watch to different styles and occasions.

Price and Availability

This colorful chronometer-certified model retails for CHF 1,320, representing excellent value for a Swiss-made, COSC-certified timepiece equipped with modern materials and finishing.

Mido Multifort TV Big Date Enters Titanium Era

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2025, Sport Watch, Titanium 0

Mido’s TV-shaped case design returns with the latest addition, the Multifort TV Big Date Titanium, which enhances the collection with a lightweight and durable titanium construction, using this material in the collection for the first time.

The watch is presented in a 39.20 x 40 mm rounded rectangular case with a thickness of 11.50 mm. Crafted from titanium, the case is notable for its durability and reduced weight, making it an appealing everyday option. Its design is instantly recognizable with the wide vertically brushed bezel, recessed sandblasted pip at 12 o’clock, protective crown guards, and a screw-down crown that ensures water resistance up to 100 meters.

At the heart of the design is the oversized date display, positioned at 12 o’clock. Using two separate discs with black backgrounds and white numerals, the “Big Date” offers enhanced readability, with digits nearly three times larger than traditional date windows.

The dial continues Mido’s characteristic Multifort aesthetic with horizontal grooves in relief across its surface. Executed in a gradient silvery-grey, the dial fades from a lighter center to darker tones at the edges, complemented by a sloping flange in deeper grey. Applied indices with white Super-LumiNova to ensure legibility in low light. The baton-style hour and minute hands also feature luminous inserts for clarity at a glance.

Inside, the watch is powered by the Powermatic 80 automatic movement, a modern caliber developed within the Swatch Group. Featuring a Nivachron balance spring for improved resistance to shocks and magnetism, the movement offers a generous 80-hour power reserve. The decorated rotor, finished with Geneva stripes, is visible through the transparent caseback.

Completing the piece is a titanium bracelet with a satin-brushed finish on the outer links and polished central links, secured by a folding clasp. Thanks to quick-release push pins, the bracelet can be swapped without tools, offering flexibility for the wearer.

Now part of Mido’s permanent collection, the Multifort TV Big Date Titanium is available at a retail price of CHF 1,290. It represents a refined yet accessible entry into the world of titanium sports watches, combining vintage-inspired design with modern engineering.

Mido Ocean Star 200C: Where Dive Watch Meets Scenic Elegance

MRSTATELESS MIDO, NEW RELEASES 2025, Diver 0

Mido extends its Ocean Star lineup with a new reference that blends the mechanical confidence of a dive watch with a design inspired by nature’s most tranquil moments. The Ocean Star 200C introduces an earthy color palette and refined textures while preserving the robust, practical specifications the Ocean Star name is known for.

Case and Bezel: Functional Design with a Refined Edge

The 42.50 mm stainless steel case, coated in a rose gold-colored PVD finish, adds a warm tone to the watch’s profile without losing its tool-watch appeal. The case integrates crown guards flanking the screw-down crown, offering extra protection during active use or underwater handling. A unidirectional rotating bezel with a green ceramic insert complements the dial and provides the precision timing capability expected in a modern diver.

A box-shaped sapphire crystal ensures durability and clarity, while the screw-in case back, engraved with Mido’s signature starfish motif in relief, underscores the brand’s legacy in the dive watch category. The 200-meter water resistance makes the Ocean Star 200C suitable for recreational diving and daily wear in challenging environments.

Dial: Evoking Nature, Executed with Precision

The dial of the Ocean Star 200C is finished in a textured green reminiscent of alpine lakes reflecting golden hour light—a scene where green hills meet the shimmering surface of still water. Gilt applied hour markers and semi-skeletonized hands filled with Super-LumiNova provide excellent legibility against the dial’s rich surface. A day-date window at 3 o’clock on a white background enhances utility while maintaining visual balance.

This fusion of natural inspiration and functional design reinforces Mido’s approach to combining aesthetics with real-world utility.

Movement: Dependable Performance for the Everyday Explorer

Inside the Ocean Star 200C beats the Mido Caliber 80, an automatic movement built on the ETA C07.621 platform. It features a Nivachron balance spring for improved magnetic resistance and long-term accuracy. The movement offers an 80-hour power reserve, enough to keep the watch running well beyond a weekend off the wrist.

Strap: Rich Texture, Comfortable Fit

Completing the design is a brown leather strap with a crocodile-style embossed finish, echoing the watch’s natural tones. The steel hardware is matched to the rose gold PVD case, ensuring a cohesive and polished appearance. This strap brings a level of dress versatility to a watch otherwise made for adventure.

Conclusion

The Mido Ocean Star 200C is a capable dive watch reimagined through the lens of natural beauty and warm-toned refinement. While it carries the full technical specifications expected of a diver—including crown guards, a ceramic bezel, and 200m water resistance—it stands out for its inspired detailing and elevated aesthetic. It’s a timepiece designed for those who appreciate both performance and presence.

Case and Bezel

The Ocean Star Worldtimer is built around a 40.50 mm stainless steel case, with a lug-to-lug measurement of approximately 47 mm, ensuring a comfortable fit across a wide range of wrist sizes. The case architecture is identical to that of the Ocean Star Tribute model, featuring vintage-inspired elements coupled with modern durability.

Key to its travel functionality is the unidirectional rotating bezel, which includes engraved city names on a black aluminum insert. This bezel enables manual reference of time across 24 global cities, functioning similarly to a GMT bezel without the addition of a GMT hand or 24-hour disc.

A box-shaped sapphire crystal sits atop the case, mimicking the look of vintage acrylic while delivering modern scratch resistance. The screw-down crown and engraved case back—which features Mido’s signature starfish emblem—contribute to the watch’s 200 meters of water resistance, qualifying it for recreational diving and making it a viable option for both sea and air travel.

Dial and Legibility

The dial exhibits a silver-toned velour finish and is accented by a distinctive black-and-red checkerboard minute track, evoking a classic 1970s sports watch aesthetic. A day-date display at 3 o’clock adds everyday practicality, while baton-style hands filled with Super-LumiNova and a lollipop seconds hand with luminous dot ensure visibility in low-light environments. Luminous hour markers are printed along the periphery for further legibility.

Movement

Inside the Ocean Star Worldtimer is the Mido Caliber 80, an automatic movement derived from the ETA C07.621 (also known as the Powermatic 80). It features a Nivachron balance spring, enhancing resistance to magnetic interference. The movement runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and provides an 80-hour power reserve, offering extended autonomy for weekend trips or infrequent rotation in a watch collection.

Strap and Wearability

The watch is fitted with a black Bund-style leather strap, complete with contrast white stitching and red accents that echo the dial’s detailing. The strap includes a removable leather underlay, allowing the wearer to switch between a classic Bund look and a more streamlined profile depending on preference.

Price and Availability

The Mido Ocean Star Worldtimer is priced at € 990. It delivers a combination of vintage-inspired design, mechanical dependability, and dual-time tracking functionality in a format that is both accessible and versatile.
