Mido Presents the Commander IBA 20th Anniversary
The launch of the new Mido Commander inspired by the Eiffel Tower closes the “Inspired by Architecture 20th Anniversary” collection launched in 2022.
A collection of five limited edition watches in which each model seeks to represent world historical monuments through details. The Baroncelli IBA depicts the Rennes Opera in Rennes, the Multifort IBA depicts the Harbor Bridge in Sydney, the Ocean IBA depicts the Europa Point Lighthouse in Gibraltar, the All Dial depicts the Colosseum in Rome and now the Commander IBA depicts the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
This commemorative edition has a total of 1889 pieces, a number that corresponds to the inauguration year of the Eiffel Tower, which gave it the title of the tallest building in the world for more than 40 years, a title that would be overthrown in 1930 with the opening of the Chrysler Building in New York.
And starting with the anthracite sunburst dial that features a raised black outer ring chapter, applied platin hour indexes in a rectangular shape and highlighting the 12 o’clock position that comes with the Eiffel tower silhouette, and pencil hands all filled with a part painted in black and another with luminescent material. Lastly, a double day-date frame window at 3 o’clock and the brand’s inscription followed by “Automatic” at 12 o’clock and “Chronometer” preceded by “Limited edition” at 6 o’clock.
Outside, 40mm diameter by 11.2mm thick case in 316L stainless steel with a satin-brushed finish, thin polished bezel, retractable crown at 3 o’clock, sapphire glass, 50 meters of water resistance and solid case back engraved with the Eiffel Tower.
Powered by the Caliber 80 based on ETA C07.821 automatic movement that is Chronometer COSC certified and comes with an anti-magnetic silicon balance spring, operating at 21,600 Vph and offering up to 80 hours of power reserve.
The watch is offered on a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp and can be purchased from the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for the price of €1,420.
