Key Features

• Large Two-Level Date Aperture at 6 O’Clock – The standout feature of this watch is its oversized, two-tiered date window. Designed for maximum clarity, the recessed lower level and raised upper section create visual depth, making the date easy to read at a glance. This functional design element also serves as a focal point on the dial, enhancing the watch’s overall aesthetic with a touch of modern refinement.
• Swiss Automatic Movement (Caliber 80) – At its core, the watch is powered by MIDO’s Caliber 80, a Swiss-made automatic movement known for its reliability and extended power reserve. This self-winding mechanism harnesses the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to keep the watch running, offering a maintenance-free experience ideal for daily wear. The movement’s precision and durability reflect MIDO’s commitment to high-quality Swiss engineering.
• Refined White Dial with Double-Sided Hands – The pristine white dial provides a crisp, uncluttered backdrop that enhances readability while exuding a sense of calm elegance. The polished double-sided hands—featuring a sleek profile on both sides—catch and reflect light beautifully, improving visibility in various lighting conditions and adding a subtle shimmer that underscores the watch’s premium finish.
• Double Gadroon Bezel – A hallmark of the Baroncelli collection, the double gadroon bezel features two concentric rows of finely machined ridges. This intricate detailing not only adds texture and visual dimension to the case but also pays homage to traditional watchmaking techniques. The bezel’s refined texture complements the overall design, reinforcing the watch’s classic yet distinctive character.
• 40mm Case Size – With a 40mm diameter, the stainless steel case strikes an ideal balance between presence and wearability. It’s large enough to make a statement on the wrist yet proportionate enough to suit most men comfortably. This versatile sizing ensures the watch pairs well with both formal attire and casual outfits, making it a reliable companion for everyday use and special events alike.
