Some traditions have their roots in the past. Others evolve with each generation, finding new ways to perpetuate their legacy. Since 2020, Mido has celebrated the Day of the Dead with a special edition inspired by its unique relationship with time.
Initially created for Mexico, these editions have transcended borders to share a different vision of remembrance with the world: not as something static, but as a legacy that is constantly renewing itself. In 2026, and for the first time, this celebration comes to life within the iconic Multifort TV case.
At the center of the dial, a radiant and expressive skull takes center stage. This decorative skull—an emblem of the Day of the Dead—serves as a powerful reminder that memories never disappear; they evolve, transform, and remain part of our identity.
Born from the imagination of Mexican artist Pedro Linares in the 1930s, *alebrijes* are creatures of pure fantasy. Part animal and part dream, they combine unexpected shapes, vibrant colors, and boundless imagination.
The *alebrijes* stand out in the darkness.
Surrounding the skull, the *alebrijes* transform the dial into a world of its own. Unexpected shapes intertwine, fantasy takes the spotlight, and every detail reveals something new. More than mere decoration, they embody creativity, transformation, and the freedom to imagine beyond the conventional.
Then night falls, and everything changes. Three colors of Super-LumiNova and twelve lacquers transform the dial, revealing a new dimension as darkness sets in.
The Multifort TV Big Date reinvents itself down to its straps. Steel offers everyday versatility. Red rubber adds a bold touch. The Milanese mesh introduces a more refined air. One watch, three personalities, infinite ways to make it your own.
A masterful movement
Beneath the visual exuberance beats a movement designed for peak performance. Powered by the automatic Calibre 80—featuring a Nivachron balance spring and a power reserve of up to 80 hours—the Multifort TV Big Date combines bold design with proven performance. Reliable, precise, and durable: it embodies emotion.
Every detail extends the story. Even the digit "1" in the Big Date display at 12 o'clock takes the shape of a bone—a detail that carries the narrative down to the smallest element.
Art meets mechanics. Emotion meets precision. Imagination meets Swiss watchmaking mastery.
