Rose gold, anthracite and brown leather give the Mido Belluna II Chronograph M024.427.36.061.00 a rich, almost vintage-car character. It is a watch for the person who wants a mechanical chronograph with warmth and polish rather than a purely sporty tool.

Drawing on the Royal Albert Hall for its sense of proportion, the Belluna II Chronograph sets two counters (30 minutes and 60 seconds) into an anthracite dial, with rose-gold-tone hands and index markers that glow against the darker background. The 42mm case is stainless steel coated in rose gold PVD for durability. Powering it all is the Mido Caliber 60 automatic chronograph, with a 60-hour power reserve and a transparent back that lets you watch the movement at work whenever the chronograph runs.

At around 15mm tall it wears with authority, and the brown leather strap (21mm) with deployant clasp softens the look for everyday wear.
