Mido M8823.4.38.8 – Military-Inspired

The Multifort M8823.4.38.8 (List:SGD590) is one of MIDO’s older ‘soldiers’. Introduced in 1988, the watch has been a popular choice for uniformed groups. Many officers or retiring personnel were presented this Swiss-Made timepiece as long service award. It is an old-style military watch powered by the legendary ETA 2824 automatic movement. The all-stainless steel case (ø 36mm, excluding winder) features see-thru caseback and rated up to100 meters water resistant.

Here’s an example of its superb visibility in extreme darkness. The black dial (ø 30mm) with clear luminous hour/min hands and numeral markers is protected by curved crystal glass.

The decorated ETA 2824-2 Movement features 25 jewels with up to 40 hours power reserve capability. Original leather strap is padded with country-style stitching and stainless steel buckle.

Why choose the Multifort M8823?
The classic design and functional reliability are 2 main features of the watch. Its military-inspired qualities befit the character of the recipients. Best of all, it’s another quality Swiss-Made timepiece proudly produced and backed by Swatch Group 2-year international warranty.
In additional, an individually etched brass plate with the recipient’s name on the cover of this luxury wooden box enhances the overall presentation. It is therefore not surprising that the watch remains a popular choice till this day.
