How do I open this Watch?

I can’t open the back. Does someone know if there is another option to open the back of this beautiful Mido Commander daydate?

Looks like it needs to be pried open with a caseback knife.

Looks like it's a press back.

You can try the power of your mind.

If you are not powerful enough you may need to use a small knife or wedge.

Thank you for the comment. The only problem is that I dont see a gap between the case and the back; it looks like in is all out of one piece of metal

Not being rude-

Just note that if it’s difficult to open, it could be even more difficult to put back. If you do plan on prying it I highly recommend a case back press.

I use this on annoying case backs to replace battery.

If you have to ask then it should be left to a pro.

Hard to tell but that could be a monobloc case so you access the movement by removing the bezel and crystal.

Well worth doing a bit of research. I’m not closely familiar with Mido and don’t know if they made monobloc cases but I can’t see a seam to prise the back off.
