1940s Mido Multifort Bumper Automatic Wrist Watch.

1940s Mido Multifort bumper automatic wrist watch.

The watch has a 17 jewel, bumper automatic movement, which is working well.

The watch itself measures 29.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The watch is a midsize watch originally made as a gents watch although it would suit a slimmer wrist and also work as a ladies watch. The case is stainless steel with a rose gold bezel. The case has minor marking from use but overall it is in nice condition for a 1940s piece. The case back is stamped Mido Multifort superautomatic Switzerland, Rustless steel and has the model number 220. The case back has some light surface scratching from use, nothing serious at all.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial is in its original finish and is signed Mido Multifort Extra, super automatic, Switzerland. The dial has a little marking although it has a great patination.

The watch has a later leather strap.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.

Price includes worldwide postage.
