I was interested in the Omega Aqua Terra.....until I ran into this one! This is as beautiful if not more and I can use the rest of the money I saved to buy something else.
Thats crazy! - COSC - 80 hours power reserve - 100m (which is the beginning of dive watch level) How many brands have been preaching stats *not* as good as that (for example Rolex has never made an 80 hour power reserve watch), and charging many many times more… This proves just how inflated watch prices are. The difference in design (subjective), and finish, does not explain why some other watches are so much more… Only wish it came in 39mm or less 🤷🏻♂️
Great review! When it come to Mido, I must admit, I've suffered from contempt prior to investigation. This piece falls in my size range, price range, and now on my radar. Thanks Teddy.
Mido is so underrated. I have the Multifort in blue with the power reserve indicator and just bought the ocean star in blue yesterday. Both amazing watches and look as great as in Pressphotos. Would definitely recommend looking into them!
I must admit that MIDO was never considered for my “hit list” of watches. Interesting to see your insight. Now, I may simply have another watch to consider adding to my list. Thanks for sharing.
Got mine last month in a sale event and absolutely loved it, Wears a bit big for a 42mm watch in my wrist, thin case, but nothing beats the price performance ratio of the COSC certified movement! Also very beautiful dial, can't help but flip my wrist occasionally to check the wave stripes. One thing I have to mention though is that there are only a handful of adjustable links on the bracelet to be taken on or off so I had to try a couple of times to figure out the proper bracelet length for my 7.5 inch wrist (and even now it wears a bit loose)
The dial on these watches is spectacular in sunlight, specially the blue and the charcoal version. This watch has it all, silicon balance, COSC, great power reserve and 100m water resistance, which was added a few years ago. To me this is what the 14000 series Rolex AirKing watches used to be in the past, high quality, accurate, good looking and sturdy while appropriate in all circumstances.
Bought my first Mido ever yesterday while waiting for my flight back home at PHL airport. Bought the blue dial. Planning to change the strap with a leather one. So far I’m loving it!!!
Also it has an Elonflex mainspring for anti shock , English and German day text and the day date change instantaneously at midnight. Bloody impressive and easily the best value watch I have in my collection
just bought this watch but with a blue dial. It definitely is a great piece! Just don`t underestimate the size.. I can pull it off but on smaller wrists it may look out of place. Quality of the watch is superb!!
If you are considering the Tag Heuer Carrera you may be better served with this watch . You get the screw down crown, just as nice a bracelet, and longer power reserve all for less $.
It must be very hard to compete with this watch. Sort of checks every box as you said. Please correct me, but this seems top 3 perfect watches for 1000$ price point.
El principal competidor Suizo a esos precios es Tissot, y también tiene un mecanismo ETA con reserva de 80 horas, sin embargo Mido es mejor porque emplea el mecanismo clásico ya probado por decadas que es completamente metálico y sin partes de plástico a diferencia del Powermatic80 de Tissot.
I love how machining marks have been given a fancy name and treated as a feature when the reality is more like "That looks pretty cool! Leave it that way." Leaving them on the dial is unique. I like it. I just wish there was a version that didn't have a day or date. I think it would look much better. I'd buy that.
This watch is a stunner inside and out. The quality is great. Was wondering if you could please review the newer version the Multifort M chronometer. It has a really nice green dial and wiuld love to know more about it.
As always, great video, I love Mido but unfortunately, the cases are usually very big for my wrist. One model that I love is the Mido Multifort Patrimony. Is it possible to make a review of the rose gold model with that beautiful fumê dial? Thanks!
Thank you for your review of this watch. I finally found the lug to lug dimensions, I couldn't find it anywhere. Unfortunately probably just 1mm too big for me.
Mido is underrated, their finishing is very nice. I just wish they had more options in terms of size, this watch should be smaller and IMO the bezel could be thicker and the dial smaller (ala rolex). Also I don't get why they put that amazing bracelet, with polished mid-links and sides, on the Ocean Star instead of on this which is more dressier?
This is a very nice watch! It's a long time that I am looking for Mido as a brand, but I haven't found the best model for me yet. I like a few of them but still haven't decided for a specific one.
hello what do you think, tha bracelet from mido 200 capitain with the classic diver buckle is fit on this mido chronometer cosc 1 ? wanna say the form curvature on the case and the lugs width . the butterfly buckle is not ... for me
Hello there, check out the new Venezianico Nereide 39mm, I just came across it by chance today. Seems to be a great choice for entry level sport/"luxury".. It has a nice finish & OK movement. They also have the Retendore 36mm & 40mm on leather straps, both look nice specially the 36mm baby blue dial or the 40mm silver dial with blue hands. Maybe you could do a video about those watches. Cheers.
What about the mido multifort gent? It's the same thing but without the chronometer part. Is it worth it? I bought it over the ocean star and commanders
Hi Teddy I still cant get past the join our news letter banner to actually check out what is on website banner pops up ifill it out but wont go away ,so i cant shop !
Aren't Hamilton, Tissot, Longines, Rado, Mido are all mid tier watches under Swatch group umbrella? They all use either the ETA 2624, or 2892 movements. These mid tiers are very much like Pontiac & Chevy as part of GM and just as appealing. Sorry, but no matter how you dress up the exterior of a Mido ( fancy dial ), it still is a Chevy.
Longines is not a member of Swatch Group and the 2824 And 2892 have been replaced generally by a Variant that's more complicated to repair or maintain!
I just got this! Well the non chronometer version. And I was wondering what strap would look good. I got a black distressed calf leather like the mido multifort patrimony.. Grey dial. And it doesn't look right. Can anyone help me?
What about a Victorinox Alliance Automatic? Less priced and better symmetry... no?! Well a G-Shock it is because "Mido" is pure shytenfor the money 💰 Teddy

I was thinking the same!!
Thats crazy!
- COSC
- 80 hours power reserve
- 100m (which is the beginning of dive watch level)

I can remember the Mido Multifort being around 34 Millimeters!
Great review. I've had my Multifort (blue dial) for a couple of years and have been very pleased. Still freakishly accurate.
Great review! When it come to Mido, I must admit, I've suffered from contempt prior to investigation. This piece falls in my size range, price range, and now on my radar. Thanks Teddy.
Indeed great value ... If they made a 39-40mm version I would have bought one already for sure.
Mido is a Top-Brand at the entry level. I have the Ocean Star 600 with COSC - great watch.
Mido is so underrated. I have the Multifort in blue with the power reserve indicator and just bought the ocean star in blue yesterday. Both amazing watches and look as great as in Pressphotos. Would definitely recommend looking into them!
This is a GREAT looking everyday watch, as always appreciate the fantastic review, Teddy.

Have you tried changing a strap? I can't seem to find a proper strap for it. Because of the greyish dial

@@TeddyBaldassarreReviews it looks stunning on a brown leather strap!!! If only I can post a picture here!
I love Mido. Haven't purchased one yet but damned if i havent had my eye on an oceanstar for years.
Also it has an Elonflex mainspring for anti shock , English and German day text and the day date change instantaneously at midnight. Bloody impressive and easily the best value watch I have in my collection

May i ask your wrist size?
@@NhatHuyNg 18,4 cm
bought the blue dial too. but changed the bracelet to a brown leather strap! it LOOKS STUNNING!
Agreed, this is a brand that is too often overlooked.
Mido, Certina, Tissot and Hamilton are making great watches
We need a head to head with this and the Tissot Gentleman. I can't decide between the two.
Mido is a very well made Timepiece, but hardly a poor man's watch!

It must be very hard to compete with this watch. Sort of checks every box as you said. Please correct me, but this seems top 3 perfect watches for 1000$ price point.
It really is almost perfect
These newer ETA Mvts need to be sent to a Brand service center to be repaired or maintained!

Love it, class, underrated,
MIDO needs to size down their watches to 39-41mm. Great designs but always oversized
Well I have Multifort Patrimony, 40 mm, and the grey dial is just beautiful and perfect size
They used to offer this at 38mm (have one for about 8 years now) but dont know why they phased it out.
I Remember the vintage Mido Multifort being around 34 millimeters!
Totally agree. So annoying.
No, keep them bigger, they’re perfect.
Always great reviews, Teddy, keep up the great work.
I think they look much better than Hamilton or Seiko, definitely Mido is underrated. In México they are very popular among mid level brands.
I love how machining marks have been given a fancy name and treated as a feature when the reality is more like "That looks pretty cool! Leave it that way." Leaving them on the dial is unique. I like it. I just wish there was a version that didn't have a day or date. I think it would look much better. I'd buy that.
This watch is a stunner inside and out. The quality is great. Was wondering if you could please review the newer version the Multifort M chronometer. It has a really nice green dial and wiuld love to know more about it.
I love the size.
Loving the Mido videos!
This movement is the same as the COSC certified Tissot Powermatic 80 movement, right? Like the one in Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC.
Just purchased the Commander II. Beautiful chronometer for a great price
Price how much
As always, great video, I love Mido but unfortunately, the cases are usually very big for my wrist. One model that I love is the Mido Multifort Patrimony. Is it possible to make a review of the rose gold model with that beautiful fumê dial? Thanks!

After compare the mido multifort and commander chronometer.. I bought the commander chronometer.. 😊😊..
very good and comprehensive video. thank you!!
Great review! I'm can't decide between this watch and Longines Conquest. What would you suggest? Thanks a lot!
Mido first and then Longines conquest.
Is this a considerable step up from Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 S?
The ETA.2824 And 2892 were far easier to service!
Another excellent informative video Thankyou Teddy. 👍🇦🇺
This is a very nice watch! It's a long time that I am looking for Mido as a brand, but I haven't found the best model for me yet. I like a few of them but still haven't decided for a specific one.
Teddy, do you think you will ever carry Ball watches?
Excellent Review
The latest mvt installed in these watches by the Swatch Group are not as easy to maintain as the prior Simpler ETA variants!
Great all arounder!
Great value here!
38 mm please!

If only Mido didn't have that day/date window...then it would be really a Aqua Terra beater...but I dislike pretty much all date windows on watches
Now some have C07.611 or 621 and are half the price.
Very nice watch😊

A nice poor mans Aquaterra, I like it.

Looks a lot like a Tag Calibre 5
These new mvts must be sent back to a Swatch Group Service center to be maintained or Repaired!
So it's not the Powermatic 80?
I just got this! Well the non chronometer version. And I was wondering what strap would look good. I got a black distressed calf leather like the mido multifort patrimony.. Grey dial. And it doesn't look right. Can anyone help me?
Hey teddy can you review the certina ds chronograph?
Any respectable watches with a jubilee band outside of Rolex?
Mido Belluna vs Seiko Presage ?
What about a Victorinox Alliance Automatic? Less priced and better symmetry... no?!
Well a G-Shock it is because "Mido" is pure shytenfor the money 💰 Teddy
Sooo.... the poor man's Aqua Terra?
This is hardly a poor mans Watch!
Good grief. I already have 5 Mido watches. Dial design may stop me.
Day date yuk 🤮
Hardly a poor man's watch!
Am I the only one who thought it said multifArt
🎉❤
Poor man’s Aqua terra?
Tissot is better
Agreed
why do you Think Tissot is better?
Longines a member of Swatch Group? news to me!
No one cares about this watch, review the ball engineer ii magneto s. You claim to be an AD for ball review it TED
