Introducing the Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns: A 40 mm Integrated-Sports Watch with a Timing Flange

The Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns pairs an octagonal bezel and integrated-sports styling with a practical feature: a second crown at 2 o’clock turns an internal rotating 60-minute timing flange. The 4 o’clock crown sets the time and date. It measures 40 mm wide and about 9.5 mm thick, runs on Mido’s automatic Caliber 72 with up to 72 hours of power reserve, and is rated to 10 bar. Mido’s US listings show prices from $1,440, while UK listings show prices from £1,040; the exact price depends on the reference and market.

What does the second crown do?

The crown at 2 o’clock activates and adjusts the internal rotating 60-minute flange. Use it to align the flange’s scale with the minute hand and read elapsed minutes against the watch’s dial. The separate crown at 4 o’clock sets the hours and date. Mido describes this as a return of a distinctive function in its collection.

Because the timing scale sits inside the crystal, rather than on a rotating external bezel, the Multifort 8 Two Crowns keeps its octagonal bezel visually prominent while offering a dedicated elapsed-time scale. The feature is useful for tracking a timed interval at a glance; it does not replace a chronograph, which measures and displays elapsed time using a stopwatch mechanism.

Case size, materials and everyday specifications

Mido lists the case at 40 mm wide, 38.4 mm long and approximately 9.5 mm thick. The case is stainless steel, with a sapphire crystal treated with double anti-reflective coating, a screw-down crown and a transparent display back. The dial’s horizontal relief and the octagonal bezel give the watch its geometric, technical look.

Specification Mido’s published detail
Case width 40 mm
Case length 38.4 mm
Thickness Approximately 9.5 mm
Case material 316L stainless steel
Crystal Sapphire with double anti-reflective coating
Movement Automatic Mido Caliber 72 with Nivachron balance spring
Power reserve Up to 72 hours
Water resistance 10 bar (100 m/330 ft)
Night visibility Super-LumiNova on the hands and indexes

The 10-bar rating makes the watch suitable for ordinary water exposure within the limits of its rating, but it is not a substitute for checking crown security and care guidance before swimming or other water activities. Mido specifies a screw-down crown; follow the manufacturer’s instructions for operating it and maintaining water resistance.

Caliber 72: reserve and Nivachron

The automatic Caliber 72 is specified with up to 72 hours of power reserve, so a fully wound watch can continue running for as long as three days when left unworn, subject to use and operating conditions. Its Nivachron balance spring is intended to improve resistance to magnetic fields and support reliable everyday operation. Mido also points to the movement’s slimness as a reason for its selection in this relatively thin case.

Dial and strap or bracelet options

Mido’s official listings show blue, black and grey dial configurations across rubber-strap and steel-bracelet versions. The specific combination of dial, strap or bracelet, price and availability varies by regional listing. A rubber strap gives the watch a sportier, lighter look; a steel bracelet offers a more continuous metal appearance. Check the product page for the exact reference and configuration rather than assuming every color is offered with every attachment.

For an owner looking to replace or change a rubber strap, Mido’s Canadian accessories page lists 12 mm replacement rubber straps in black, orange and white for CA$125. Confirm fit and current availability with Mido before ordering.

Mido’s US collection page lists variants at $1,440 and $1,520. UK product listings show £1,040 for a rubber-strap reference and £1,070 for a steel-bracelet reference. These are regional listing prices, not a universal price: local taxes, currency, retailer and later price changes can affect what a buyer pays. Mido’s UK steel-bracelet listing was marked out of stock when checked, so stock status should be verified on the product page before purchase.

Which Multifort 8 Two Crowns should you choose?

  • Choose by attachment first: compare the rubber strap and steel bracelet based on comfort, preferred look and how you plan to wear the watch.
  • Choose by dial color: blue, black and grey appear in Mido’s listings, but not every color is necessarily available with every strap or bracelet in every region.
  • Consider the timing flange: the internal 60-minute scale is the central functional distinction. If you often track elapsed minutes, the 2 o’clock crown provides a direct way to set it; if you do not need that function, the watch’s appeal may be primarily its shape and dial design.
  • Match water resistance to use: the published rating is 10 bar, with a screw-down crown. For more demanding water use, confirm the manufacturer’s guidance and keep the crown properly secured.
  • Check the local reference and price: Mido’s published US and UK prices differ by variant, and availability can change. Confirm the reference number, included attachment and current stock with the regional page or an authorized retailer.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
