MIDO Introduces Retro TV Watch with COSC Movement for Under 50,000 TWD

Swiss watchmaker MIDO has once again captured the attention of horology enthusiasts with the latest iteration of its iconic TV-shaped timepiece. Known for blending vintage aesthetics with modern reliability, the brand has now integrated a COSC-certified chronometer movement into the retro TV watch series for the very first time. This significant mechanical upgrade ensures exceptional precision and accuracy, meeting the rigorous standards set by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute.

In addition to the high-precision movement, the timepiece is equipped with an advanced anti-magnetic hairspring. This technical enhancement protects the watch’s internal mechanism from magnetic interference commonly encountered in daily life, thereby maintaining stable performance over extended periods. The integration of such high-end features typically found in much more expensive luxury watches makes this release a remarkable offering in the mid-range market.

Despite the substantial upgrade in both movement and durability, MIDO has maintained its commitment to accessible luxury. The watch is priced at under 50,000 New Taiwan Dollars, making it an attractive option for both seasoned collectors and casual wearers looking for a reliable, stylish, and historically inspired daily timepiece. With its distinctive rectangular dial resembling vintage television screens and robust internal engineering, the new model successfully bridges the gap between classic design and contemporary horological technology.
