The Heritage

The Mido Multifort M038.436.11.031.00 is a contemporary evolution of an iconic tool watch born in the 1930s. This 42mm stainless steel case embodies the rationalist philosophy of the Multifort family, where every detail serves a practical purpose. It houses the ETA C07.631 Swiss movement providing hours, minutes, and seconds. The 22mm lug width allows broad aftermarket strap compatibility while maintaining optimal proportions for wrist comfort and visual balance.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Mido Multifort M038.436.11.031.00?

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M038.436.11.031.00 is 22mm. This is measured between the two steel attachment pins where the strap secures to the case. Always verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

Which strap is recommended for the Mido Multifort M038.436.11.031.00?

For the 42mm Multifort, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather (aged brown or black), vegetable-tanned alligator, or vulcanised rubber for sports applications. A NATO strap in cotton is ideal for a more casual aesthetic. Your choice depends on your lifestyle and intended use of the watch.

How do I change the strap on my Mido Multifort M038.436.11.031.00?

Use a spring bar tool to gently remove the attachment pins from both sides of the case. Insert the new strap by sliding the pins into the dedicated slots. Ensure the strap is 22mm lug width and that the pins are firmly seated before wearing the watch.

Can I use a 22mm aftermarket strap on this Mido model?

Yes, any 22mm strap is compatible with the Mido Multifort M038.436.11.031.00. Always verify that the strap has been correctly measured (between the attachment pins) and opt for quality models made from vegetable-tanned leather or technical materials to guarantee durability and comfort over time.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Multifort?

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap can last 3 to 7 years depending on usage and maintenance. Exposure to moisture, sweat, and UV rays accelerates ageing. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina that becomes more appealing over time, but the fibre structure gradually thins. Rotate your straps periodically and store them in a dry environment to maximise longevity.
