Mido Commander: Timeless Design Since 1959

Mido launched the first Commander model in 1959. Today's collection continues in the tradition of its historical predecessors. Top models come with a chronograph function, outsize date, or chronometer certification.

5 Reasons to Buy a Mido Commander

  • A style icon from the late 1950s
  • A wide range of colors and dials
  • Available as a chronograph
  • Top models with chronometer certification
  • Cases ranging from 23.5 to 42.5 mm in diameter

High-Quality Swiss Watches with a Simple Design

Mido has been producing the Commander uninterrupted for over 60 years. It debuted in 1959 under the name Ocean Star, which is a separate collection today. The original model featured a single-piece (or monocoque) case. It also came with Mido's proprietary crown sealing system. This system later came to be known as "Aquadura." The combination of these two features results in extremely water-resistant and robust watches.

The Commander remains a bedrock of the Swiss company's catalog. Today's collection offers a wide range of models. Each watch follows the same basic design principles set out by the first model. This is especially true of pieces like the ref. M8429.3.22.13 from the Commander 1959 series. Its warm golden Milanese bracelet and 37-mm case take the wearer on a journey back to the late 1950s.

Despite their classic looks, Commander watches have kept up with the times. For example, Mido outfits these timepieces exclusively with proven Swiss ETA movements, including chronometer-certified calibers with an 80-hour power reserve.The limited-edition Commander Big Date 60th Anniversary premiered in 2019. As its name implies, this three-hand watch has an oversized date display. The ref. M021.626.16.081.00 boasts a chronometer-certified movement and has an official list price of 1,090 USD. The ref. M016.414.11.041.00 was released at the same time. However, this chronograph model is not a limited edition.

Commander II: A Rosy Chronograph

Mido uses a special PVD coating when crafting the case of the Chronograph ref. M016.414.36.031.59 . The final result lends this watch its beautiful rose gold hue. This 42.5-mm timepiece is water-resistant to 50 m (5 bar, 164 ft) and has a sapphire glass case back. It gets its power from the proven ETA chronograph caliber 7750. The chronograph counters sit at 6 and 12 o'clock, with a small seconds at 9 o'clock. Lastly, you'll find a day-date display at 3.

Central hands display the hours, minutes, and chronograph seconds. The silvery dial also features 12 PVD-coated indices filled with luminous material. Paired with a black leather strap with gray stitching, this watch costs some 1,500 USD in mint condition. The same timepiece sells on Mido's website for 2,000 USD.

  • Rose gold-colored case with a PVD coating
  • Sapphire glass case back
  • Silvery dial with black subdials
  • 42.5 mm in diameter
  • Water resistant to 50 m (5 bar, 164 ft)

Prices for the Commander Chronometer

Mido also produces several Commander models with chronometer certificates from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres, or COSC). Watches with COSC-certified movements are especially accurate and often have the word "Chronometer" inscribed on their dials. The ref. M021.431.11.041.00 comes with such a certificate and is one of the top Commander models.

Its 40-mm stainless steel case is water-resistant to 50 m (5 bar, 164 ft). Sapphire glass protects it from both the front and back. Inside, you'll find the Mido caliber COSC, a version of the time-tested ETA caliber 2836-2. Applied indices filled with SuperLuminova sit atop a blue sunburst dial. They are joined by hands for the hours, minutes, and seconds. The second hand, numerals on the minute track, and "Chronometer" inscription all stand out in bright red, contrasting beautifully against the dark dial.

This timepiece comes on a stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp. Plan to spend around 1,100 USD on a never-worn example. Pre-owned watches change hands for as little as 910 USD.
