Mido Baroncelli LIMITED EDITION

A limited edition for an exceptional timepiece, starting with its magnificent deep-blue sunray satin-finished dial, which is utterly entrancing. At 6 o’clock, it showcases the Big Date signature: a wide polished and sandblasted date aperture that is one of the largest on the market in this price segment. The dial of the Baroncelli Big Date Limited Edition is protected by an elegant round polished-steel case enhanced by a double-gadrooned bezel, both of which feature a rose-gold-coloured PVD treatment. This superb timepiece is fitted with a blue crocodile-look strap in genuine cow leather, and is equipped with a cutting-edge automatic movement. In addition to its original date display, the Caliber 80 with large date aperture offers formidable autonomy, with up to 80 hours of power reserve.

The Baroque-influenced neoclassical style of Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II expresses all the sophistication inherent to the Italian architectural tradition. Its rounded shape was the inspiration behind Mido’s Baroncelli design. The subtle references to this prestigious building and its harmonious curves bestow both a rare sense of elegance and a resolutely timeless style on this iconic collection, which marked its 40th anniversary in 2016.

Only 2,020 devotees of fine Swiss-made timepieces will have the chance to wear this new Baroncelli Big Date Limited Edition. With its contemporary colour and timeless look, this timepiece is exceptional in more ways than one. First and foremost, its design incorporates a magnificent deep-blue dial that is sunray satin-finished from the date aperture at 6 o’clock. This wide two-level date aperture – one of the largest on the market in this price segment – instantly conveys the unique style of Big Date timepieces. The edge of the dial is adorned with polished applied Roman numerals featuring a rose-gold-coloured PVD treatment, which bring a subtle hint of classicism to the model, as do the thin double-sided hour and minute hands (one side sandblasted, the other diamond-cut). The Big Seconds hand, meanwhile, is diamond-cut. This exclusive model is fitted with an elegant 40 mm-diameter round case in polished stainless steel which, together with the elegant double gadroons adorning it, features a rose gold-coloured PVD treatment, whose warm tones draw a superb contrast with the intense blue of this Baroncelli Big Date Limited Edition.

The Baroncelli Big Date Limited Edition 2020 is equally exceptional in terms of its technology. The timepiece is fitted with an automatic movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking innovation. In addition to its original date display, the Caliber 80 with large date aperture offers formidable autonomy, with up to 80 hours of power reserve. Finely decorated with an oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo, it can be admired through the transparent case back. The Baroncelli Big Date Limited Edition is water-resistant up to a pressure of 3 bar (30 m / 100 ft).

Presented in a special case with a limited edition certificate, the model comes with a blue crocodile-look strap fashioned from genuine cow leather complete with rolled edges, tone-on-tone stitching and a folding clasp in polished steel with rose gold-coloured PVD treatment.
