BASELNEWS 2010Sporty watch-model: MIDO ALL DIAL Helium Valve
The MIDO All Dial line explores the sea bed and presents a new sporty model that will delight diving enthusiasts. The MIDO All Dial Valve watch with helium superbly combines advanced technology and aesthetic appeal, a prowess characteristic of the All Dial collection. Reliable and accurate, it can safely be worn when exploring the marvels of the sub-aquatic world.
The daring sport of scuba diving is an intense, almost timeless activity in which beauty accompanies danger. Under the surface, the vital rhythm is slowed down, conditioned by the increased water pressure. In such an extreme environment, a reliable timepiece on your wrist is a top priority, a guarantee of safety, and therefore of diving pleasure. The All Dial Valve with helium offers this degree of reliability and divers need not think twice about wearing it as they go in search of the pleasures of the deep.
This timepiece is an extension of the All Dial collection and symbolizes the combination of technological with aesthetic perfection. The model design reflects the concept of the line, but in a more sporty manner. This timepiece meets the requirements of a sport that is fascinating but not without risk. Its large dial, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, provides a faultless display. Even in poor lighting conditions, the hour reading is optimized by the Super-LumiNova® treatment covering the oversized numbers of the hours 6, 9 and 12, as well as the indexes. A day and date window is placed at 3 o’clock. The hands are palm shaped. Also treated with SuperLuminova®, they ensure perfect legibility, even at night. The automatic movement with its decorated oscillation weight is visible through the transparent case back.
This model possesses an automatic helium valve ensuring optimal reliability when diving for long periods in a bathysphere. The valve evacuates molecules of helium penetrating the interior of the watch when diving in deep water, thereby preventing its glass from being driven out on returning to the surface. Guaranteed water-resistant up to 300 metres, this model comes with a rubber bracelet and a folding clasp with two push-pieces and a folding diving buckle.
