    The Mido helmsman series multi-function chronograph draws on the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia as a source of inspiration and once again pays tribute to the masterpieces of the industrial era. Between the blue sea and blue sky, the little white sails of the Sydney Opera House are in sharp contrast with the magnificent cross-sea majesty of the adjacent Sydney Harbour Bridge, with a strong contrast but harmoniously integrated into a glorious picture. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was a real feat in the era of the Industrial Revolution in the 1930s. It took more than 100 years from ‘incubation’ to ‘birth’, from the initial inspiration, to the implementation of the design, to the final difficult construction. Especially under the conditions of the 1930s, it is rare to be able to erection bridges in the sea. The majesty of the Sydney Harbour Bridge across the sea is the ultimate expression of people’s lofty aspirations across the sea. For Mido watchmakers, this grand architectural revolutionary style expression coincides with Mido’s “inspiration to create eternity” watchmaking concept. They draw inspiration from the magnificent transoceanic posture of the bridge. Through the study of material properties and the extensive application of various specially processed materials, Mido has thus developed the world’s first watch that combines the four major advantages of automatic winding, water resistance, anti-magnetic and shock resistance, creating the Mido helmsman. The series’ reliable and powerful movement and the classic appearance that can withstand the test of the times, the helmsman series is considered to be synonymous with high quality and rigor when it comes out.
