The Heritage

The Mido Multifort M040.407.16.060.00 is a 40mm stainless steel watch rooted in 1960s Swiss chronometer tradition, featuring a sunburst anthracite dial and rationalist design. It houses the ETA Caliber C07.621 quartz movement, offering reliable precision and 100-meter water resistance for daily wear. The 19mm lug width is a defining characteristic of this configuration and requires precisely calibrated straps to ensure proper fit and aesthetics without excessive play or tension.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Mido Multifort M040.407.16.060.00?

The lug width of the Mido Multifort M040.407.16.060.00 is 19mm. This dimension must be measured between the internal surfaces of both lugs, perpendicular to the case body. It is essential to respect this exact measurement to avoid excessive play or compression of the strap.

Which strap is best suited for the Mido Multifort M040.407.16.060.00?

The Multifort pairs beautifully with alligator straps in black or brown for formal occasions, or calf leather with vegetable tanning for daily wear. NATO straps offer sporting versatility, whilst rubber ensures maximum practicality. All must comply with the 19mm lug width.

How do I change the strap on my Mido Multifort M040.407.16.060.00?

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch with the lugs facing upward, locate the small hole at the end of each lug, insert the tool to lift the pin, and remove the old strap. Install the new 19mm strap by applying uniform pressure until it clicks into place, verifying that it is securely fastened.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Multifort M040.407.16.060.00?

Yes, many manufacturers offer high-quality 19mm straps compatible with the Multifort. Milano Straps provides a dedicated collection of 19mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, specifically designed for models with this lug width, with rapid dispatch and customisation options available.

How long does a leather strap last on the Multifort M040.407.16.060.00?

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use, up to 7-10 years with regular maintenance and rotation with other straps. Longevity depends on exposure to humidity, direct sunlight, and frequency of wear. Rubber or NATO straps have similar lifespan but greater resistance to environmental wear.
