Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Mido Multifort M049.526.11.081.00?

The lug width is 20 millimetres. This is the distance between the two lugs integrated into the case, which determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. To verify, measure the available space between the lugs using a digital calliper or ruler, ensuring the value corresponds exactly to 20mm.

Which strap pairs best with the Mido Multifort M049.526.11.081.00?

We recommend an alligator strap with medium grain in tobacco brown or anthracite black, or a vegetable-tanned calf leather in chocolate brown. Both materials respect the constructive sobriety of the model and develop an elegant patina over time. For sports environments, a navy blue NATO fabric maintains the functional severity that distinguishes the Multifort.

How do I change the strap on the Mido Multifort M049.526.11.081.00?

The Multifort's lugs are integrated into the case and non-removable. To change the strap, you must remove the pin connecting the strap to the lugs. You can do this manually with a spring bar tool or consult a professional watchmaker. Ensure the new strap has a 20mm lug width to guarantee structural compatibility.

Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the Mido Multifort M049.526.11.081.00?

Yes, provided the lug width is 20 millimetres. Aftermarket straps in leather, NATO or rubber with this width fit perfectly with the model. Always verify that the lug holes of the strap align exactly with the geometry of the case lugs to avoid misalignment.

How long does a leather strap last on the Mido Multifort?

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily use, provided regular maintenance. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity and perspiration reduces longevity; to extend strap life, clean it monthly with a damp cloth and apply leather conditioner every 6 months. The patina that develops over time is a beauty characteristic, not deterioration.
