Swiss Mido watch

Swiss Mido is a famous Swiss watch brand. Since its establishment in 1908, it has been committed to spreading the concept of “noble but not expensive” watches to consumers. After more than a hundred years of development, Mido has become one of the world’s most well-known watch brands and is deeply loved by consumers.

Swiss Mido launches some special edition watches every year to commemorate some festivals of special significance. For example, this Commander Gradient Catrines watch with the theme of Mexico’s Day of the Dead (model M021.407.11.411.04) just fits the time point of the Day of the Dead in 2025.

The Day of the Dead is a traditional Mexican festival held on November 1st and 2nd every year. On this day, people will decorate their homes with flowers, candies and masks to show their memory of their deceased relatives. At the same time, they also hope that through these rituals, the souls of the dead can return to the world and spend the festival with themselves.

Inspired by this festival, Mido Watch has launched a new Commander Gradient Catrines series gradient Catrina watch. The biggest highlight of this watch is its dial design. Catrina and floral patterns representing Mexican culture are drawn in the center of the black gradient acrylic dial.

Katrina

In Mexican culture, Catrina is a very important symbol. She is an image of the dead that is used to mock the upper class. She is usually represented with a skeleton and gorgeous costumes. During the annual Day of the Dead in Mexico, people dress up as Catrina to show respect for the lost life. At the same time, they also hope that in this way they can accept the reality of life and death in humor.

The dial of this Mido watch uses 10 different lacquer colors to express Katrina and floral patterns. Under the sunlight, the brilliant colors are very eye-catching. When the light dims, the hands and hour markers of SuperLumiNova® will emit a soft light, guiding the wearer at night.

Caliber 80 movement

As a high-end watch, the inner movement of the Commander Gradient Catrines watch is also very powerful. The watch is equipped with the Caliber 80 automatic movement developed by Mido. The vibration frequency of this movement is 21,600 times per hour. In terms of movement performance, it has reached the top level of the Swiss watchmaking industry. And the most surprising thing is that it provides a power reserve of up to 80 hours, which is almost unheard of in watches of the same price range.

The case of the watch is made of fine steel. It looks very low-key and restrained after brushing. The case has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 10.8 mm. With the see-through case back at 3 o’clock, you can clearly appreciate the automatic oscillating weight decorated with Geneva patterns and the superb watchmaking craftsmanship of the Caliber 80 movement.

Although Mido watches have always been known for their cost-effectiveness, this Commander Gradient Catrines series gradient Catrina watch has raised the cost-effectiveness to a new level, because it not only has super movement performance, but also has a very attractive appearance design. The most important thing is that its price is only 9,000 yuan. For a high-end watch, this price is almost a bargain.

Conclusion

This Mido Commander Gradient Catrines watch is really a cost-effective choice that combines beauty and practicality. The design is inspired by the traditional culture of Mexico, allowing people to feel the unique festive atmosphere when wearing it. I think watches with stories like this are more touching.
