Mother-of-pearl is one of the few dial materials that is truly unique to each watch; no two pieces of shell have quite the same pattern. On the Mido Belluna II M024.207.11.110.00, that natural iridescence fills a 33mm steel case, so your watch is subtly one of a kind.

The Belluna collection, introduced by Mido in 2008, is associated by the brand with the curves of London's Royal Albert Hall, and the soft glow of this dial suits that refined inspiration. What sets the Belluna II apart from many dress watches is Caliber 80: a Swiss automatic that holds up to 80 hours of power reserve, displayed through an exhibition caseback.

A slim 9.95mm case and an 18mm steel bracelet keep the watch light and comfortable, while a date at 3 o'clock adds a practical touch to an otherwise purely elegant face.
