Mido Baroncelli Diamonds Lady Rose Gold Ref. M007.207.36.291.00

The Baroncelli Diamonds Lady Rose Gold design elements have been influenced by the architecture of the Rennes Opera House in France, unveiled in 1836, since then, it boasts harmonious and elegant architecture, with outstanding interior decoration. The Baroncelli Diamonds Lady reflects this elegance and grandeur of the 18th-century architecture that the Opera House beholds.

Let's dive into the dimensions of this Mido, available in PVD rose gold treated case measuring at 33mm wide and 37.8mm from lugs to lugs, totally a perfect fitting and proportion even for the slimmest wrist of a lady. The Baroncelli Heritage nails best would be its thickness. At 9.4mm in height, keeping its thin and elegance for anyone to strap on and out for corporate meetings and dinner dates at your favorite restaurants. The case is sophisticated from the top; for an instant, the thin bezel creates more dial and old-school dress watch look. And the slightly thick lugs allowing the Baroncelli Diamonds Lady to feel sturdy with much versatility and then some. All these little details enhance the wrist presence and experience for the wearer thoroughly.

Date display framed luxuriously by 12 diamonds

Speaking on architecture influence, if anyone of you has been to the Rennes Opera House, once knows the glass windows and old concrete walls plays an essential factor in the old-school cathedral charm of the 18th-century. If anyone of you disbelieve this, I strongly suggest heading there and spend some time there. Within minutes you will be enticed by the surrounding atmosphere where the old-school warmth absorbed into you, creating a sort of elevated mood.

That same experience is adopted here when one glance underneath the flat sapphire crystal of the Baroncelli Diamonds Lady Rose Gold. The dial consist of 2 main part, starting from the centre - it has a warm off-white fine-circular finishing, while being flanged by a matte black periphery done with stripes texture. The hands are faceted, diamond-cut and polished. To top things off, elegant rose gold markers are applied on the periphery with small white dots at the minute intervals. The "Mido, Automatic" logo applied on the internal cream dial. Dress watch kind of watchmaking gets pretty hard done as there are only a few elements to play within, but Mido nails a unique way to display the date window perfectly on the dial without throwing off balance.  A crescent moon-shaped cut out that slowly display the date-wheel symetrically  from 2 to 10 o’clock, where the main opening at 6 o’clock display the correct date, framed luxuriously by 12 diamonds that have a total of 0.025 carats.

Caliber 80 based on the ETA C07.611

If the dial has that 18th-century charm, the movement ticking inside is sophisticatedly modern. The Swiss movement inside lies the key for its slimness- the automatic Mido’s caliber 80.611 based on the ETA C07.611. The 25-jewel automatic Caliber 80.611 is Mido proprietary name for their 80 hours power reserve ETA movement. Its frequency reduced to 21,600 Hz for and an improved mainspring capacity. The caliber 80 inside the Baroncelli makes it so value-driven as it hoods one of the highest-quality movements today at an exceptional price point. Best part yet, one can be seen from the see-through case back of the Baroncelli Heritage.

Lastly, paring elegantly with the 18mm burgundy brown leather done in patent alligator pattern and a matching rose gold signed deployant buckle.
