How does the Multifort TV Big Date compare with the Tissot PRX?

Both are Swiss automatics with retro cases. The Mido has a TV-shaped case, a big date and a rubber strap; the PRX has a round integrated-bracelet design and a standard date.

What is the power reserve of Calibre 80?

Calibre 80 is Mido's long-reserve automatic, rated at about 80 hours, so it keeps running through a weekend off the wrist.

Is the big date hard to read?

No. The two-disc big date sits at 12 o'clock and shows large numerals, which is easier to read at a glance than a small date window.

It is rated to 10 bar (100 m), which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch, so avoid deep diving.

The watch on its rubber strap, along with Mido's warranty documentation and presentation box.

Does the Nivachron spring matter in daily use?

Yes. It resists magnetism from phones, laptops and magnets and handles shocks better than a standard balance spring, so the watch stays accurate in everyday conditions.
