ompletely dressed in golden shades, the Commander Lady brings a sublime radiance to the timeless lines of this iconic Mido collection. A dial featuring a “tourbillon” satin finish and a sapphire crystal faceted like a diamond further enhance its radiant femininity.

In this delicate and understated reinterpretation of the Commander watch first released in 1959, the Commander Lady sparkles in shades of golden yellow from the case and bracelet to the tips of its hands.

Its champagne-coloured dial is illuminated by a fine “tourbillon” satin finish. Black touches on the display elements reinforce the bold character of this piece, while enhancing its legibility. The flat diamond-cut hour and minute hands coated with white Super-LumiNova embody the timeless DNA and unique design of this Mido collection. A sapphire crystal, bevelled at the sides like a gemstone, further accentuates the character of this face.

The mechanical heart of the Commander Lady beats to the rhythm of the Calibre 72, offering excellent precision thanks to its high-tech balance spring and a power reserve of up to 72 hours – like a radiant invitation to make the most of every moment.

The Commander Lady reveals an extraordinary, irresistibly brilliant dial. A very fine “tourbillon” satin finish shimmers across its champagne-coloured surface. The indexes and hands feature the exact same shade, with a central groove varnished in black to make them easier to read. The iconic style of the Commander can be seen in the flat, diamond-cut hour and minute hands highlighted with luminescent white material and the black minute track accentuated on the flange. The timepiece also features a polished yellow gold-coloured metal date aperture at 3 o’clock. This enchanting dial is topped with a domed sapphire crystal, with bevelled edges like a precious stone, creating a subtle play of light.

To complement its uncompromising overall look, the steel case and bracelet on the Commander Lady are also coated with a yellow gold-coloured PVD treatment. Paired with a slender bezel and discreetly integrated crown, the delicate curves of the graceful dial extend to the collection’s signature structured bracelet. Its alternating fine polished and satin-finished surfaces create sublime reflections and contrasts.

The Swiss watch manufacturer has equipped the Commander Lady with the remarkable Calibre 72, the fruit of its considerable expertise. Finely decorated, this Swiss automatic movement boasts numerous innovative watch features. Firstly, its power reserve of up to 72 hours generously surpasses the standards. It is also impressively reliable, thanks to the precision of its balance spring made from Nivachron™ – a high-tech alloy known for its proven resistance to magnetism.

A radiant icon, the Commander Lady is boldly dressed in shades of gold, embodying a unique femininity as resplendent as it is timeless.
