Celebrating tradition in colour and light — the MIDO Commander Gradient Catrines Special Edition pays tribute to Mexico’s Día de Muertos with artistry and Swiss precision.
Inspiration and Design
The Commander Gradient Catrines continues MIDO’s homage to Mexican cultural identity, dedicated to the Day of the Dead. The dial features the iconic skull of El Catrín, surrounded by flowers and hand-applied in vivid lacquers. By day, the watch radiates with joyful colour; by night, its Super-LumiNova® transforms the skull and floral motifs into a glowing spectacle of blue and green light.
Dial and Case Details
The distinctive acrylic dial reveals a gradient effect — transparent at the centre and deepening to black at the edges — offering a glimpse of the mechanical heart within. Diamond-cut hands, faceted indexes with coloured grooves, and a date window at 3 o’clock complete the composition under a domed, faceted sapphire crystal.
Its satin-finished stainless steel case (40 mm) is topped with a polished bezel and complemented by three easily interchangeable straps:
-
Stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp
-
Black leather strap with blue stitching
-
Orange textured rubber strap, honouring the cempasúchil flower of Día de Muertos
Water resistance is rated at 5ATM (50 m).
Movement and Mechanics
At the heart of the Catrines beats the MIDO Caliber 80 automatic movement, offering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring, it ensures high resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. The oscillating weight, decorated with Côtes de Genève and engraved with the MIDO logo, can be admired through the transparent caseback.
A Collector’s Tribute
Limited in availability beyond Mexico, the Commander Gradient Catrines Special Edition is more than a watch — it’s a living canvas, celebrating life, heritage, and the art of Swiss watchmaking. Delivered in a special presentation box, it’s a rare opportunity for collectors worldwide.
