Vintage Mido Multifort Grand Luxe 28mm Bumper Automatic Cal 817 Black Dial Watch

Vintage Mido Multifort Grand Luxe Super-Automatic, a characterful Swiss wristwatch with compact 28mm proportions and a distinctive aged black dial.

Estimated to date from the 1940s, this example features outlined Arabic numerals, gold-tone hands and central sweep seconds beneath a prominently domed crystal. The dial carries the Mido signature, Multifort Grand Luxe designation and curved Super-Automatic inscription.

Inside is the signed Mido calibre 817, a 17-jewel bumper automatic movement. Its winding weight travels through a limited arc between spring stops, representing an earlier generation of Swiss self-winding watchmaking.
