Rose gold and gray are a sophisticated, contemporary pairing, and the Mido Baroncelli M8690.3.13.8 (M86903138) uses them on a generous 42mm case. It is a dress watch for those who want something bolder than the traditional 38mm, but still elegant.

The Baroncelli collection, founded in 1976, embodies Mido's classical side, with softly rounded lines inspired by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. Here the steel case is coated in rose gold PVD, which warms the cool gray dial and gives the watch a modern, refined palette. A Swiss automatic movement keeps it ticking through daily wear, and the dial is protected by sapphire crystal.

The leather strap is fitted with a deployant clasp for a secure, comfortable fit and less wear on the leather. Gray dials are remarkably versatile: they look great with navy, charcoal, brown and black, making this a flexible choice for any wardrobe.
