Vintage 1941 MIDO Multifort Ref. 220 Bumper Automatic - Near-Mint Original Dial
$749.00
Up for sale is a stunning, collector-grade 1941 MIDO Multifort (Reference 220) bumper automatic. This wartime-era Swiss timepiece is an absolute time capsule, surviving in a condition rarely seen for utility watches of this age.
The standout feature of this piece is its 100% factory-original white dial in near-mint condition. Unlike most dials from the early 1940s that suffer from heavy moisture damage, aging, or poor modern repainting, this dial remains incredibly clean, crisp, and beautifully preserved. It features striking black Arabic numerals and its original, heat-blued steel hands that brilliantly catch the light.
The Details & Provenance:
The Case: Encased in an unpolished, "rustless" stainless steel case manufactured by the legendary master casemaker Taubert (formerly François Borgel). It bears the iconic British Patent 385509 mark on the case back, signifying the historic decagonal waterproof case design that revolutionized 20th-century watchmaking.
The Movement: Powered by an untouched, original MIDO Caliber 817 (17 jewels) bumper automatic movement (MOD. 1941). The bumper mechanism is running perfectly, winds smoothly, and keeps excellent vintage time.
The Crown: Features its completely untouched and original stem/crown, preserving the exterior visual integrity of the watch exactly as it left the factory.
Recent Care: To ensure this watch is ready to wear and appreciate, it has been fitted with a brand new crystal for flawless visibility, a fresh internal caseback gasket to protect the untouched movement from dust, and a brand new premium leather strap.

Condition Notes:
This watch is in exceptional vintage condition. The dial is stunningly preserved and original. The movement is untouched and running beautifully.

Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information from time to time if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I collect, use and share your information in several legally-permissible ways, including:
- As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide you with customer support;
- When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list or to receive notifications from me;
- If necessary to comply with a court order or legal obligation, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
- As necessary for my own legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as (a) providing and enhancing my services; (b) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Protecting my customers’ personal information is crucially important to my business and something I take very seriously. For these reasons, I share your personal information only for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
- With Etsy. I share your information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use;
- With Third-Party Service Providers. I engage the following trusted third parties to perform functions and provider services to my shop:
USPS, to deliver your order
I share you personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services;
- In the Event of a Business Transfer. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
- In Compliance with Laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) perform legal obligations to which I am bound by agreements; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction has. If I am required to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

- Right to Object. You can object to (a) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (b) receiving marketing messages from me. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue storing and using your information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
- Right to Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
