The Mido Baroncelli Big Date M027.426.22.018.00 blends the clarity of an oversized date display with the warmth of a two-tone steel and rose gold PVD finish, a combination that makes it both useful and quietly luxurious.

Its standout feature is the large date at 6 o'clock, shown on two levels so the numerals are bigger and easier to read than a standard date window. The design draws on the Baroncelli inspiration, Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, with a double gadroon bezel, applied indexes and double-sided hands. Rose gold accents on the case and the center links of the bracelet add warmth to the white dial.

Inside, the Mido Caliber 80 automatic runs for up to 80 hours, and a see-through back shows the movement at work. At 40mm and 10.4mm thick, it suits most wrists, and the two-tone bracelet makes it a natural partner for gold rings or a rose gold bracelet.
