The Mido Multifort TV Big Date brings a television-shaped case back into everyday watch territory, with rounded corners, a broad bezel and a date display that earns its place at twelve. The dial’s horizontal brushing and darkening edges give it depth without fighting the case for attention—a useful distinction in a watch with this much shape.
The blue and green versions are worth comparing: blue feels more restrained, while green makes the dial treatment more conspicuous. Choose the bracelet if you want the case’s brushed surfaces to carry through around the wrist; rubber breaks up the steel and gives the watch a sportier character. Try it on if possible, because the broad outline wears differently from a round watch. One mechanical detail deserves attention: make sure both big-date discs advance cleanly and sit properly aligned in the window.
What owners love
- The TV-shaped case and horizontally brushed, shaded dial give it a character owners genuinely enjoy wearing. The dial changes noticeably with the light, rather than looking like the same flat colour all day.
- The big date at 12 is genuinely useful: it is easy to read at a glance and feels like an integral part of the dial, not a small window squeezed into a corner.
- Owners often find the case more comfortable than its broad, square-looking outline suggests. The short lugs help it sit neatly on the wrist without the corners feeling cumbersome.
Common Criticisms
- Some owners, particularly of early examples, have reported the big date failing to advance properly or displaying incorrectly, requiring warranty attention. It is a real reported issue, though not something every example develops.
- The bracelet’s butterfly clasp has no micro-adjustment. Owners who fall between comfortable link combinations find that frustrating, especially when their wrist expands during the day.
