This is a popular waterproof chronograph produced by FB Company. It is equipped with the Cal.1300, an improved version of the legendary Valjoux 23, modified into a center-minute chronograph. The watch features a unique design without sub-dials, with four central hands, and the dustproof screw-back case by FB Company, which includes a distinctive cut on the chronograph pushers—a feature also adopted by Patek Philippe in their Ref.1463. This masterpiece model by Mido showcases unmatched originality and craftsmanship.
The dial comes in a variety of variations. This particular piece features a black gilt base with a tachymeter in gilt (pink), a 24-hour display in red print, a minute track on a white enamel circle, and a telemeter in white on a black matte circle, creating a more complex and rare design. The rarity of this model is further enhanced by its scarce top gold field case.
