The Mido Baroncelli II M8600.9.76.1 (M86009761) takes a cool silver dial and frames it with a warm gold-tone bezel, giving the watch a classic two-tone look that has rarely gone out of style since the 1970s.

Fittingly, the Baroncelli collection itself dates to 1976. Its design language, rounded case flanks and refined proportions, comes from the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. On this 38mm model the silver dial carries black stick hour markers and gold-tone hands for crisp legibility, plus a date between four and five o'clock. Inside is a Swiss automatic movement, visible through an exhibition caseback, and the front is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire.

A two-tone steel bracelet with a deployant clasp ties it all together. The black markers give it a slightly sharper, more graphic look than many dress watches, which makes it easy to wear with business attire as well as weekend outfits.
