Mido - All Dial 20th Anniversary Limited Edition

Mido presented the All Dial 20th Anniversary Limited Edition to celebrate the ties of the brand with architecture. Price €1.270. Ref. M8340.4.B3.1

Mido has been drawing creative inspiration from architecture since 2002, when the Swiss brand introduced the All Dial, its first collection whose contemporary design was freely inspired by a monument, the Colosseum in Rome.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this milestone, throughout 2022 Mido will unveil five exclusive models from its flagship collections: All Dial, Baroncelli, Ocean Star, Multifort and Commander with each model paying homage to an iconic building and presented in a special decorative case featuring a collectable commemorative medallion.

The first model to be presented is the All Dial 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, a watch that stands out for its grained anthracite dial featuring a multi-level circular composition.

Its inner flange recalls the stands of the amphitheatre as seen from above, while the sandblasted texture is reminiscent of the building’s thousand-year-old stones and the indexes represent the arcades of the historic monument. 

The round design also echoes the Roman Colosseum, with a 42 mm steel case that opens onto a perfectly visible display, thanks to sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides. 

For enhanced readability, indexes and hands are treated with white Super-LumiNova. The ensemble is completed by a day and date aperture at 3 o’clock.

A screwed crown and back ensure that it is water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bars (100 metres / 330 feet). 

The Rome landmark is also evoked on the integrated satin-finished steel strap with polished elements, reminiscent of the amphitheatre’s arches. 

The movement of choice is the ETA 2836-2 Calibre, an automatic movement certified as a COSC chronometer (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). Beating at the frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this elaboré-grade movement has an autonomy of 38 hours. The oscillating weight is decorated with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo.

A limited edition of 2,022 timepieces, the Mido All Dial 20th Anniversary Limited Edition ref. M8340.4.B3.11 has a price of Euro 1,270. midowatches.com
