Roman numerals give any watch a sense of history, and on the Mido Baroncelli Heritage Lady M027.207.36.013.00 they sit beautifully on a soft, light dial inside a rose gold PVD case. Add a black leather strap and you have a watch with vintage spirit and modern slimness.

The Heritage line was designed for slimness, and this case stays at or under about 7.2mm high. The rose gold PVD finish lends warmth, while the black strap provides contrast that keeps the look grounded. The dauphine hands are faceted for depth, and the date sits at 3 o'clock. Like the rest of the Baroncelli range, it is inspired by Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the 19th-century arcade whose curves inform the rounded case.

Mido's Caliber 1192, built on the ETA 2892-A2, is visible through the sapphire caseback and offers around 42 hours of power reserve. The leather strap closes with a fold-over clasp with push-button release.
