The Watch

Mido is an iconic Swiss brand celebrated for its exceptional watchmaking expertise. Since its founding, it has seamlessly combined technical innovation with refined design to produce high-quality timepieces. Every model embodies timeless precision and elegance, delivering outstanding performance and sophisticated style. The 1959 M842942123 watch blends timeless design with top-tier performance. Crafted for both men and women, it features a round case measuring 37 mm in length and width and 10.50 mm thick, weighing 90 g. Its silver tone and polished finish perfect the overall design. Part of the Commander collection, the case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, a material prized for its strength and corrosion resistance. A screw-down crown at 3 o'clock handles all indicator adjustments. The flat acrylic crystal atop the case showcases the dial in full splendor. Finally, the caseback ensures water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

The gray dial brings a touch of sophistication to this timepiece with its sunray finish. At the center, two hands sweep across the black indexes lining the dial's perimeter, displaying the hours and minutes. The indexes are punctuated with small dots for optimal legibility. Both the hands and indexes feature a luminescent coating for easy reading in low-light conditions. The time display is completed by date and day windows positioned at 3 o'clock. Finally, Mido signs its creation with its name at 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement - specifically the Mido 80 caliber, featuring 25 jewels and delivering exceptional accuracy at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. COSC-certified, it offers anti-magnetic resistance and an impressive 80-hour power reserve.

The Strap

The watch is complemented by a 316L stainless steel bracelet that matches the case. Strong yet elegant, its brushed finish is reflected across each link. A folding clasp ensures a secure fit with maximum comfort.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 5 atmospheres (50 meters), this watch is a solid introduction to water-resistant timepieces. While it's not built for the bath, active swimming, or diving, it can handle the occasional shower without worry. That said, our team of experts recommends keeping this timepiece dry whenever possible to protect its movement for years to come.
