The Heritage

The Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00 is a contemporary evolution of a legendary timepiece born in the 1950s. This 44mm stainless steel chronograph features the ETA caliber A05.H21 automatic movement with hours, minutes, small seconds, date, day, and chronograph functions. The case measures 44mm in diameter with a 23mm lug width, combining robust architecture inspired by civil engineering with technical specifications including a rotating bezel and water resistance. The 316L stainless steel ensures corrosion resistance and develops a natural patina over time.

FAQ

What is the exact lug width of the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00?

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00 is 23mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the spring bar attachment points on the case. It is essential to verify this with a calliper to ensure compatibility: any ±1mm variation renders the strap incompatible or loose.

Which strap is recommended for the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00?

For this 44mm chronograph, we recommend black or cognac alligator for an elegant-sporty aesthetic, vegetable-tanned calf leather for natural durability, or grey or black NATO fabric for aquatic use. Your choice depends on occasion and the dial colour of your timepiece.

How do you change the strap on the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00?

The strap is secured via the case's spring bar pins. To replace it: gently depress the lateral pins using a spring bar tool to remove the old strap; align the new 23mm strap to the case lugs; press until you hear a secure click. Do not force to avoid case damage.

Is a third-party aftermarket 23mm strap compatible with the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00?

Yes, any strap with a 23mm lug width is compatible. Ensure the external width does not exceed the case profile and that the spring bars are properly dimensioned. Milano Straps offers artisanal 23mm straps guaranteed for this reference.

How long does a leather strap last on the Mido Multifort M005.614.11.061.00?

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) lasts 3–7 years with daily wear and regular maintenance. Longevity depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and UV rays. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the life of each one.
