The Commander is one of Mido's great survivors, a design the brand introduced in 1959 and has kept in production ever since. The Mido M016.430.16.031.80 brings that pedigree to a 40mm steel case with a clean silver dial and a brown leather strap, a combination that looks right with almost anything in a man's wardrobe.Mido likes to explain its collections through architecture, and for the Commander the reference point is the Eiffel Tower: strong, curved lines rising into a precise structure.
You can read that in the case's flowing profile, which is designed to sit comfortably and look sleek from every angle. The silver dial keeps the look classic and bright, and brown leather gives it a warm, approachable feel that suits office days and weekends alike.A Swiss automatic movement winds itself with the motion of your wrist, and a sapphire crystal protects the dial. At about 11mm thick, the watch slips easily beneath a cuff.Mido Commander 40mm silver, M016.430.16.031.80 Collection: Mido Commander Case: 40mm stainless steel, about 11.2mm thick Dial: silver Movement: Swiss automatic Crystal: sapphire Strap: brown leather with pin buckle A piece of 1959 design history, ready for daily wear.
