Mido Commander 1959

The Commander 1959 is iconic enough to embrace the most daring of ideas. MIDO has reinvented its face in an explosion of coloured "pixels", symbols of high-definition precision, and of a resolutely innovative vision. Pink, blue and, of course, luminescent, this vibrant interplay of squares gives the Commander 1959's unique dial a surprising twist. A playful aesthetic that combines perfectly with the charming retro codes and exceptional automatic Caliber 80 of this irresistible model.

The geometry of pixels truly symbolises the digital revolution. Fun and daring, the Pixel Art style is the quirky embodiment of this universe. This time, its playfulness lightss up the dial of a cult watch with a powerful identity: the Commander 1959. A myriad of squares in shades of blue and pink pop against the black background of the dial. At night, there is a surprise in store thanks to MIDO's signature phosphorescence. The coloured Super-LumiNova® comes alive to create a whole new face. The roundness of the case and its wide opening onto the dial guarantees the perfect readability that is the collection's signature. This model is inspired by the original Commander, which the brand has been producing continuously since 1959. Retro elements such as the Milanese mesh bracelet and acrylic crystal create a striking contrast with the contemporary dial. The fully polished monocoque case – the pinnacle of water-resistance at the time – has a versatile diameter of 37 mm, topped by a minimalist bezel. Its mechanical heart beats to the rhythm of MIDO's watchmaking expertise, thanks to the ultra-reliable and innovative Caliber 80, fitted with a non-magnetic Nivachron™ balance spring. A new version of the legend is born: a joyful fusion of past and future, and proof of its ability to transcend time.
