Two-tone bracelets have made a big comeback, and the Mido Baroncelli Smiling Moon M027.407.22.010.01 shows why: the mix of steel and rose gold PVD adds warmth to a white dial and gives this moon phase watch a gently vintage feel.

The signature feature is the smile-shaped aperture at the bottom of the dial, where a rotating disc shows the moon moving through eight phases. It is a playful twist on one of watchmaking's most romantic complications. Inside, the Mido Caliber 72 automatic holds up to 72 hours of reserve and uses a Nivachron balance spring for steadier timekeeping in daily life. The 39mm case has the quiet, architectural elegance Mido associates with the Baroncelli line and its muse, Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

The rose gold accents mean it pairs naturally with gold jewelry or a wedding band, and the moderate size suits a wide range of wrists. Think of it as a dress watch with a sense of humor.
