    Classic vintage Mido piece for those who are interested. As those know, this is a smaller men's watch, appropriate for the era (1950s). It also is in very good to excellent condition, keeps very good time, and would be a great piece for someone starting a vintage collection or could be a very nice child's or woman's watch (depending upon their preference). The A Schild movement is one of their work horses, and likely accounts for the excellent performance of this piece.

    Manufacturer:
    Mido
    Model: Multifort Powerwind, dates to mid-1950s
    Case: 31 mm wide, stainless steel case with polished and drilled 16mm lugs and screw-down, decagonal case back. Some scratches on the case back but the case is in otherwise excellent condition for a 70 year old watch. The 4 digit number between the lugs corresponds to the last 4 digits of the serial number.
    Movement: A. Schild 917P automatic, 17 jewels, auto winding
    Dial: Champagne coloured dial, gold embossed markers, full seconds track, in excellent condition; original hands with remnants of lume
    Complication: Time only
    Crown: original Mido signed.
    Crystal: Likely acrylic, no large visible scratches
    Strap: Comes with the leather pictured
    Service: Not while in my possession (since Nov 2018); history unknown
    Miscellaneous: No box or papers

    Price: I am asking $450 USD or $600 Cdn via PayPal or Transferwise. No trades at this time. No returns unless not as advertised. Happy to include shipping to North America, all other destinations at cost

    Just came upon this lovely Mido, stunning and personally I often wear pieces of this diameter on my 7 1/2" wrist quite happily.

    Uncommon dial variation on a very nice watch. I'm a Mido fan, and if I didn't have more than a few already...

    GLWTS!
