Mido

At Ticking Tales, we hold Mido in high regard for its horological honesty. It is a brand that prioritizes technical specifications over aggressive marketing, often offering features usually reserved for watches at significantly higher price points.

Innovation Under the Hood: Silicon and Powermatic 80 A key focus of our Mido coverage at Ticking Tales is their use of cutting-edge movement technology. We discuss the Powermatic 80 caliber equipped with a silicon hairspring, which provides not only an impressive 80-hour power reserve but also superior resistance to magnetism and temperature changes. We evaluate the precision of these timepieces, many of which carry official COSC (Chronometer) certification—the gold standard for Swiss accuracy.

Iconic Collections: From the Depths to the Dress Circle On Ticking Tales, we put the diversity of Mido’s portfolio under the microscope:

Ocean Star: We evaluate the performance of this dive watch series, particularly the cult-favorite Decompression Timer 1961, prized for its neo-vintage aesthetic and professional capabilities.

Multifort: We explore the history of this line inspired by the Sydney Harbour Bridge, known for its robustness and signature vertical “Geneva Stripes” dials.

Commander: We discuss the unmistakable design of this collection, which has remained in continuous production since 1959, serving as a symbol of continuity and masculine elegance.
