BTW, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut is the homage, not the other way around. Mido produced that TV shaped case in the 70s. Patek "borrowed" it for the Aquanaut in 1997.

@ShizAudi 11 ай бұрын

Doesn’t matter, the highly desirable giant (Patek) that everyone knows will be considered the OG and the one which is being copied. I would never want this as it clearly is trying to come up off the Patek hype. Makes for an awkward conversation if someone thinks you have an Aquanaut 😅

I always love how these daring designs make it easier for actual watch enthusiasts to spot snobs lol. Glad to see so many people know that MIDO can essentially do whatever they want with the TV style, because the orange rubber strap one is gorgeous. In case anyone is wondering, no, the caliber they're using is not the "synthethic" escapement one present on the PRX (that would be the C07.1**), they are using the regular jeweled escapement caliber (C07.6**) which is also used a lot by Rado (although they tend to use the older version). I'm actually surprised at the price, if I see the orange one at a boutique it's a no brainer for me. Nicely done MIDO.

Good lug-to-lug size 👍 Also, I wish if Longines had introduced this brushed bezel on the Conquests. I loved my Conquests (I had two of them) but I was never able to make peace with the polished bezels turning into a scratch magnet slowly, day by day, no matter how careful I handled them. A brushed bezel tolerates/wears small scratches a lot better I think. Full polished bezels are so 90s, early 2000s anyway...

@joeljaramillo9667 11 ай бұрын

Purchased a TV Big Date about a month ago. Fantastic watch. I was first inclined to the dark dial with the orange strap. But trying it on, the steel bracelet was much more convincing in view of looks and wearing comfort, so I went for the steel bracelet in with the blue dial. It wears great even on my relatively small wrist. The precision is also great, advances about 4-5 seconds per week, that is significantly less than 1 second per day! Where do you get such a good looking, well finished watch with Big Date complication, 100 m water resistance and screw down crown with 80 hours power reserve and an accuracy of better 1 second per day reserve for 1’100$?

@mh98177 10 ай бұрын

How did you feel about the dial color? I just my blue dial on steel bracelet and the color is quite a bit different than what I was expecting. The photos on the Mido website are borderline false advertising in my opinion. There is no sunburst effect or color transition from blue to black at all. Teddy's video did at least accurately show the consistent single color although I feel the one in the video was several shades brighter than the one I received. I just wasn't expecting the blue to be dark. Luckily Teddy has a really good return policy and I haven't worn it outside or adjusted the bracelet yet.

@olivergroning6421 10 ай бұрын

@@mh98177 In my opinion there is a lot going on with the dial depending on the lighting. In diffuse lighting the dial (blue in my case) is rather dark and the blue to black gradation is not prominent. This changes a lot in grazing point lighting (e.g. in the sun or a single lamp, particularly from the top or bottom). Then the blue center becomes very pronounced and the gradation to the black rim accordingly to. It gives an iridescent effect on the blue color too. In reflection the dial gets really bright, reflective. As I tried bought it in a shop and could try it out, I was well aware of what the dial ‘is up to’ and I am not disappointed, because it is so different in different lightings and varies a lot. But looking at the pictures, which are usually taken with strong point-like lights, the dial looks certainly different than in diffuse lighting, which is the common thing when you wear it. So it is correct that you do not get the 'picture' dial color all the time, but you get it and the liveliness of the dial is a plus for me. I would suggest you play around with the watch in different conditions. Turn it round under sun light, I think it is spectacular.
