Vintage Mido Multifort Datometer

I have just found a Vintage Mido Multifort Datometer  With bumper automatic movement. It shall require a thorough cleaning and service.

The vintage Mido Multifort Datometer with a pointer date and bumper movement is a rare and elegant timepiece, featuring a unique date display where an additional hand points to the date on an outer ring of the dial. This configuration was produced in limited quantities during the 1930s to 1950s and is especially prized by collectors for its mechanical ingenuity and clean aesthetic.

Notable Details
The pointer date complication sets these watches apart from standard calendar models, with the date hand typically in red and circling the outer edge of the dial.
These watches use bumper automatic movements, such as the Caliber 817 or 917, which provide reliable self-winding and are valued for their historical significance.
Original examples in good condition, especially with non-luminous dials and steel hands/markers, are exceptionally rare and desirable among vintage watch enthusiasts.
