TOTALLY-TRANSPARENT PERFORMANCE
The brand aims to showcase watches boasting great personalities and it does so brilliantly with this never-seen-before iteration.
Among all of Mido‘s collections, the Commander stands out from the crowd. This range, created back in 1959, has constantly been added to over the decades with references which are absolutely in tune with the times. Today, color, texture, and design are sine qua non features which bring a watch into line with up-to-the-minute looks. The Commander Gradient Green fulfills trend expectations wonderfully well. Its high-performing Caliber 80, which energizes the direct-drive, the hour and minute hand duo, as well as the date at 3 o’clock for at least 80 hours, is unveiled under its green-hued acrylic dial that’s translucent in the center and gets gradually duskier around the edges. This selfwinding movement’s also revealed through the 40 mm-diameter case’s sapphire-crystal back. Wearers can also admire the Côtes de Genève patterns that decorate the oscillating weight. What’s more, this beating heart’s recognizable with its NivachronTM spring which makes it insensitive to magnetic fields.
The low-key-by-design time-data scenography ensures excellent readability under any conditions of light, thanks namely to the Super-LumiNova® coating which dresses the diamond-cut hands. For a seamless stylistic match, this reference is complemented by a metal-link bracelet secured by a folding clasp. This model’s equipped with lug bars meaning it’s ever-so easy to change the wraparound for another. Now, more than ever, versatility’s the name of the game.
