Mido Commander Shade
#125 of 166 in the community watch ranking · 18 head-to-head votes
What makes it stand out
Mido introduced the Commander model in 1959 and has produced it continuously ever since, a rarity in today's rapidly shifting watch world. The Shade Silver edition adds an avant-garde, airbrushed-look fumé dial to the vintage-inspired elements, including the modest 37-mm round monocoque case, black varnished polished indexes and dots for the hours, a framed day and date window with text in both English and German, and the Mido logo stamped on the acrylic crystal. Also decidedly retro is the steel mesh Milanese bracelet that can be adjusted to fit any wrist size.
