Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Mido Multifort M040.407.11.047.00?
The lug width is 19mm. This dimension is measured by inserting a digital calliper between the lug holes, verifying a tolerance of ±0.5mm. A 19mm lug width correctly proportions the 40mm dial without excessive overhang on the wrist.
Which strap is best suited to the Mido Multifort M040.407.11.047.00?
Brown alligator with vegetable tanning is the historical choice, offering elegance without ostentation. Fine-grained calf remains the professional option. For a technical approach, grey or beige NATO straps guarantee versatility and durability. FKM rubber is ideal for marine or sporting environments.
How do I change the strap on the Mido Multifort M040.407.11.047.00?
Use a spring bar removal tool to extract the lug pins from the case, avoiding surface scratches. Insert the new strap between the pins, ensuring the pin is fully inserted into the strap hole and recaptured in the lug groove. Slight resistance is normal; forcing risks damaging the strap.
Can I use an aftermarket strap on this watch?
Yes, any strap with a 19mm lug width is compatible. Verify that the material adequately supports the case weight (approximately 130g) and that the buckle or deployante is sufficiently robust. Specialist brands offer better manufacturing tolerances, reducing vertical play.
How long does a leather strap last on the Mido Multifort?
A quality alligator or calf strap, with daily wear, lasts 4-6 years before requiring replacement. Longevity depends on body humidity, frequency of perspiration exchange, and periodic cleaning. Shell cordovan, properly treated, may last 10-12 years, developing precious patina.
