What movement does the Multifort TV Big Date use?

It uses a latest-generation automatic movement. Mido rates it for strong resistance to shocks and magnetism.

How does the big date differ from a standard date?

The big date shows two larger digits in one window at 12 o'clock, so the date is easier to read at a glance than a small single-window date.

Is the 40mm case too large for smaller wrists?

At 40mm the case is moderate, but the TV shape wears wider across the wrist than a round case of the same size. Try it on if your wrists are narrow.

Can I swap the strap for a bracelet?

The watch comes on a strap. Whether a steel bracelet fits depends on the lug and case design, so check with Mido or a watchmaker before buying one.

How does it compare with the round Multifort models?

It shares the Multifort movement and durability focus but stands out with the cushion-shaped TV case and the big date. The round models are more conventional and often come on bracelets.

Is it suitable for swimming?

Mido does not state a high water-resistance rating for this model. Treat it as a daily watch and avoid swimming unless the caseback rating says otherwise.
