Heritage watch designs are getting a modern makeover as brands chase wider audiences. Swiss watchmaker Mido is leaning into that trend with a fresh two‑tone take on the Multifort 8KRW（about 0$） One‑Crown.
In the campaign visuals, Mido’s brand ambassador, actor Lee Jong‑suk, sports the new piece—the rose‑gold and steel combo reads sleek and contemporary. Industry observers see the release as a smart move to inject new energy into the Multifort line, one of Mido’s longest‑running collections.
The two‑tone Multifort 8KRW（about 0$） One‑Crown is built around a geometric octagon motif that balances sporty energy with modern elegance. The octagonal bezel, treated with rose‑gold PVD, pairs with the bracelet’s central links, and the mix of polished and satin finishes lets the watch’s architectural lines catch the light.
The matte‑black dial features Multifort’s signature horizontal stripes, while rose‑gold indices and hands create a refined contrast. White Super‑LumiNova® on the markers and three‑sided hands ensures clear legibility. The two‑tone steel bracelet amplifies visual interest with bicolor contrasts on its satin surfaces, and a quick‑change system adds everyday practicality.
Under the hood is Mido’s automatic Caliber 80, offering up to an 80‑hour power reserve. A Nivachron™ balance spring improves resistance to shocks and magnetic fields for more reliable timekeeping, and the watch is rated water‑resistant to 100 m (≈ 328 ft). Through the transparent caseback, you can admire the movement’s fine finishing, including a Geneva‑stripe rotor.
Two‑tone styling is enjoying a comeback in the watch market, striking a balance between timeless elegance and contemporary flair. It retains the value of traditional watch design while giving modern wearers flexibility—one watch that works across occasions and lets personal style shine.
With the Multifort 8KRW（about 0$） One‑Crown two‑tone, Mido delivers a blend of technical substance and on‑trend style that should help the brand stand out in a fast‑moving market.
