Mido presents Multifort TV Big Date, a modern reinterpretation of the Multifort TV series that dominated the 1970s and 1980s.
The first multiport TV series debuted in 1973 under the name 'Multistar TV'. Later, as Multistar was absorbed into Multiport, it naturally led to the present Multiport TV. In the early 1970s, when the series first appeared, sports watches designed by the late Gerald Genta (1931-2011), the watch designer of the century, were just beginning to appear and boom. The Gerald Genta-style sport watch, which is now back in vogue,replica watches uk is a watch with a barrel-shaped case with vague lugs and an integrated bracelet that naturally connects to it. Mido quickly sensed the trend in the early 1970s and came up with a brilliant idea while contemplating her own style. The multiport TV series was born with a barrel-type case reminiscent of a cathode ray tube TV and a matching integrated bracelet. It is often said that the multiport TV collection smells like the Patek Philippe Nautilus, but ironically, the Nautilus (1976) was born three years after the multiport TV.
Multiport TV series are largely divided into 4 generations. The first model, the first generation, was released in two versions, horizontal and vertical. Each design also has different details, such as arranging the day-date window horizontally or vertically, depending on the silhouette. The second generation came out in 1980, seven years after that. The look gives off a more modern impression than the original. Partial changes were made, such as sharpening the overall shape and installing rivets on the bezel. Unlike the second generation, which was close to square,replica omega the third generation, introduced in 2000, returned to a rectangular silhouette. Crucially, the design of the lugs has changed to the modern style, which extends one by one from the corners of the square case. And this year, the 4th generation, a modern reinterpretation of the 2nd and 3rd generation design codes little by little, finally appeared.
The case of the next generation, which can be called complete, seems to have combined the lug design of the 3rd generation with the square silhouette of the 2nd generation. The crown guard was newly added this time, and it also plays a decisive role in highlighting the face of a sports watch. The size of the case made of stainless steel is 39 × 40 mm (thickness 11.5 mm). Water resistance is 100m. The entire surface of the case is satin-brushed to bring out the texture. The front side of the bezel, reminiscent of the shape of an old CRT TV, is processed the same as the middle case, and the edges are finished with a glossy finish. Thanks to this, the unique bezel looks more three-dimensional.
The product name of the latest Multiport TV comes with ‘Big Date’. This is because Mido's unique big date is located at the 12 o'clock position of the dial instead of the hour index. The date window changes number as the two rotating discs intersect. It definitely tastes better than a normal display. The dial color is divided into three options: green, blue and gray. The background of each dial has a gradation effect that gets darker from the center to the outer edge, and the surface is also satin-brushed to bring out the texture. Earlier this year, the new Multifort M Chronometer had its dial processed in the same way. In contrast to multiport TVs, this model displayed the vertical grain of the surface. The hour index is produced in the same way as the previous product. The surface of the dial was dug out according to the shape of the index, and Super Rubinova luminous blocks were filled inside. Thanks to this, each index boasts a three-dimensional effect different from the general applique type. The surface of the baton hands is also meticulously coated with the same white Super-LumiNova as the index. Each luminous glows blue when darkness falls.
