Not every dress watch has to be small. The Mido Baroncelli M8605.4.18.1 (M86054181) scales the collection's classic design up to 42mm, giving larger wrists a refined option with real presence, while keeping the case impressively slim at just 9.75mm.

Baroncelli is Mido's elegant collection, established in 1976 and inspired by Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, whose arches and rounded forms inform the case design. Here that shape is rendered in polished stainless steel with a bold black dial and a date window. A Swiss automatic movement keeps it running from the motion of your wrist, and sapphire crystal protects the dial against scratches.

The stainless steel bracelet, 22mm at the lugs, closes with a deployant clasp. The bigger case and black dial give this watch a more contemporary, slightly sporty edge than its 38mm siblings, so it works with a suit but also looks right with a sweater and jeans.
