1940s Mido Multifort Extra Super Automatic 33.5mm Grey Dial

Some watches are just downright beautiful and preserved incredibly well. This 1940s Mido Multifort Extra Super Automatic is the perfect example of that, with its perfect grey dial and lume that has patinated to the perfect tone. It is safe to assume this spent a large part of its life tucked away in a drawer or a safe and has probably had most of its significant wrist time with me, and what an honour that has been!

Description

My collecting style is driven by aesthetics, don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a movement and geek out over a Valjoux 72, but if the design doesn't speak to me, it isn't going to be in my collection. This Mido is possibly one of my 'prettiest' watches I own, and aged to perfection, to the point where I wear it on the odd occasion, as I don't want to damage it or knock it too hard, and some of the lume falls out of the hands. Silly, I know, but I really do feel more like a lucky caretaker of this watch than its 'owner', and I want to keep it how it is. Whilst this will never be an 'expensive' watch, it is deserving of all the care and attention of a watch 100x its value in my opinion!
