The Mido 0917PC watch movement was developed through a joint effort between Hamilton-Buren, Breitling, and Heuer, in collaboration with Dubois-Depraz. It is based on the modified Buren 1281 movement, which features a 9 o'clock crown and a micro rotor. The Mido 0917PC movement incorporates an indirectly driven minute allowing for a low profile. Its functions include an automatic chronograph with 60-second and 30-minute counters operated by a cam switch, a sub-second dial at 10 o'clock, and a date feature that can be set by adjusting the 21-24-hour indicator. This movement was introduced in 1969 and has been utilized since then.
