Just to be clear the original TV shaped design from Mido was from the late 60s. It predates the Genta designed Patek Aquanaut and nautilus but almost a decade. Genta would have been aware of this watch when he designed his watch

[@hectorgull4448]

Mido TV Multi Star in 2 versions released in 1973, just google it, Patek Nautilus 1976, Piaget Polo 1979, Patek Aquanaut 1997 (a rework of the Nautilus), people may think Mido is the imitation, well think again.

[@jirikrajnak9047]

wrong, multifort was introduced in 1973.

[@hectorgull4448]

Patek Philippe's in-house team designed the Aquanaut based on Genta 1976 Patek Nautilus, and Yes the MidoMulti Star (Not the Multifort as this was release much earlier with a different disgn, why they named this one Multifort I do not know) came out in 1973 in two forms both inspired on the TV's of the 1970s.

This is a watch I really like on the bracelet, especially the fumé black dial. Great video, Bob.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I'd go with the bracelet too if I were getting one I think. Thanks!

[@Bignewshound60]

I bought the blue on last week at the airport in Geneva. Impulse buy. Love it already. Perfect daily watch

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Nice. I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching.

[@davidcallan7844]

I do love Mido, great brand.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Me too. They seem to get overlooked a lot, but they have some really nice watches.

[@stavros_katsopr]

Nice and different elements on the dial, square-ish case shape and sporty strap. Like it, not bad at all. Thanks for the review Bob, be well mate.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Appreciate it Stavros. I liked it a lot. Nice watch.

[@raymondrichardson6061]

Beautiful, and different. That colour is magnificent. A bit pricey, but Wow.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

As soon as I saw it in person I was really impressed. I could totally see picking one up someday. Thanks Raymond.

[@kenspear5077]

This is one to keep in mind. Just a little something different. Thanks Bob

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I really liked it. I'd like to give the bracelet version a try too. Thanks Ken!

[@Shaverboy516]

Good looking watch Bob, love that big date roll over!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I know. Love that too!

[@ChillinBarefoot]

It's a great watch for around 1000 bucks. Not in my bucket list, but If, I would go for the black dial on bracelet.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Not bad for the price at all. Wouldn't mind checking one of the bracelet models out. Looks nice on it. Thanks!

[@madrockwatchesadventure4501]

Great video bud!!! Cool watch.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Thanks man 👊

[@thetimebombardier]

Not a brand that I gravitate towards but that case design really works 😎👍

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Not normally a brand I'm after either but this one was excellent. Thanks man 👊

[@andrianisaraoelina]

Very nice watch actually, I wonder if mido has resolve the date function problem?

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

No issues with this one at least during the time I had it. I really like it. Thanks!

[@andrianisaraoelina]

Finally purchased mine at last easter, very beatifull and works perfect, thx for your comment

[@davida3025]

Just a little too thick for me, and the dial seems to be molded plastic/resin -- not something I want at this price. Too bad since I like the big date and overall look.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

It is a little on the thick side. I didn't find the dial to bad in that way. Might be better if you get a chance to see it in person. Thanks.

The manufacturers (Mido, Rolex, etc.) state in the warning that comes with the watch that you must not set the date when the hands are in the 21.00-03.00 range, otherwise the movement may be damaged. (People then often write that they have a stuck date etc). If you set the time to 06.30, you can then set the date and everything will be fine. After setting the date, you set the time and all ok. Rolex and other manufacturers state the same principle. If you do not follow the procedure and recommendations for setting the date, the movement may malfunction -date jamming. The fault then lies with the customer for not following the manufacturer's recommended procedure. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKDbXpWNhaxgnrM&ab_channel=SwissWatchExpo

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Thank you. I always make sure to be in the am to avoid any issues while setting the date.
