If you have a vintage Mido Powerwind (from 50s-60s) and happen to know the production date, or more likely sale date from a guarantee booklet, please let me know the SN (or portion of) and date(s)...would be a help in my serial number project. I hope to have a first version to share shortly.

I'll start: SN 251xxxx, sold in 1965 (I think much later than the production date, however)

Thanks all-

 

Here a post from the NAWCC forum from 2011, some of those guys know quite a lot

With also some serials and dates sorted out, although for which references isn't stated



I had some contact with Mido just recently regarding my new to me Multicenter-chrono and they sent me a link to an interesting pdf celebrating 100 years of Mido production.

If you scroll down to the 100th anniversary book it's a nice read:

Thanks. Have checked out the site. The Mido reference link to their serial number page doesn't seem to be working (to help with say ~mid 50s-late 60s). I've reached out to Mido - hopefully it is still accessible and I'm looking right past.

 

I've written to them as well, hopefully they are able to help me out with my odd serial on my MCC
