Mido Baroncelli COSC-certified Chronometer Jubilee watch

Based on the slim COSC-certified ETA 2836-2 movement, the new Mido Baroncelli Chronometer Jubilee watch is just another proof that classic is always cool. And you don’t need to be a millionaire to afford a dressy watch.

Although the Baroncelli family exists for about 32 years, the Jubilee Chronometer watch is the first member of the clan with an officially certified chronometer movement. The certificate from the Swiss watch authority doesn’t really mean that your particular timepiece will be more accurate than any given automatic watch and it will certainly be inferior to any normal Quartz watch, but it is still really nice to poses a certified watch. I guess it’s like buying a pet of the highest breed: nobody really cares, but you feel somewhat proud of yourself.

The chronometer is placed within a 42mm stainless steel case that features an Aquadura cork crown sealing system and an anti-reflecting sapphire crystal treated on both sides. The caseback is also transparent to provide a nice view of the 25 jewels movement decorated with Geneva stripes.
