Watch Review: Wearing The Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns At The Red Bull Cliff Diving Championship
ArticleHands-on reviewOct 2025Mike Razak
PositiveRecommends, with caveats
After a weekend of wear, the reviewer finds the Multifort 8 Two Crowns comfortable, capable and good value, with a well-behaved internal bezel and solid movement. The main reservation is that dial elements feel slightly too small, and the octagonal crowns can be slippery.

What the review says, point by point
- Wearabilitypositive
- Found it easy to wear and comfortable all weekend, from boat to dinner to walking around town.
- Case & proportionsmixed
- The polished octagonal crowns caused a brief finger slip and are less easy than knurled crowns.
- The octagonal screw-down caseback nicely mirrors the front design.
- Bracelet & strapmixed
- Finds neither the bracelet nor the rubber strap particularly remarkable.
- Quick-release tabs make swapping between bracelet and strap simple.
- Bracelet and strap are equally comfortable, just slightly better than adequate.
- Visually prefers the rubber strap because its striping continues the dial pattern.
- Dialmixed
- Considers the gray dial with a hint of green the most compelling colour option.
- Date window at 3 is appropriately sized for the dial.
- Dial elements feel slightly too small due to the internal bezel taking up space; wishes it were larger.
- Lume is adequate rather than outstanding.
- Functionalitypositive
- Internal bezel has just the right tension so it doesn't move when the crown is screwed down.
- Movementpositive
- Considers the Calibre 72 solid and has no complaints about it.
- Designpositive
- Finds the watch intriguing because it takes its own approach.
- Versatilitypositive
- Calls it a fully capable watch that met multiple needs in different settings.
- Valuepositive
- Views Mido as offering excellent value and capable watches, often overdelivering at its price.
- Frames the price as modest for what is offered.
- Compared with
- Audemars Piguet Royal Oak: Places it in the angular integrated style, closer to the Royal Oak.
