Mido demonstrates a subtle assimilation of the characteristics of China’s dominant fortification within the confines of a 42mm diameter round stainless-steel case. The brickwork-effect in the centre of the silvered dial recalls the bricks, while the stepped outer edge where the hour markers are placed recall the ramparts. Reliable timekeeping is ensured by the COSC-certified ETA 2836-2 self-winding chronometer movement, which is visible behind a transparent sapphire crystal case back.
