Mido's new Multifort TV Big Date, priced at AUD$2,100, stands out with its black PVD-coated case and blue strap. The model also features an orange big date display, a horizontal brushed dial, and the Calibre 80 movement, which improves magnetic resistance.

Other brands, including Vacheron Constantin, Tiffany & Co., Seiko, Hermès, Omega, Citizen, Sinn, Hublot, Breitling, Panerai, Rolex, Casio, and Samsung, have also released new watches in recent weeks.
